Re: The Judge's Ruling
"Correct, you are," Yoda complimented.
"Master Tabret, can you fill in any more details?" Master Windu queried.
"Certainly, Master," Sonora replied. "First, to build on what my padawan has already said, the reason Dorin's atmosphere is toxic to non-Kel Dor is because it is composed of helium and native gases, with very little oxygen. That is also why Kel Dor not living on Dorin require breath masks. Dorin is situated between two black holes, and so was not discovered until several centuries ago. Also, though Kel Dor are generally altruistic and helpful, their justice system is very swift, sometimes surprisingly so to visitors of that world who break their laws."
"Yes, very good." Master Windu admitted. "It is in relation to this last point that we have called you here. Senator Uuln?" Mace gestured to the back of the Council room and a stately looking Kel Dor dressed in senatorial robes stepped forward. "This is Senator Kon Uuln from Dorin. Senator, can you explain why you've come to us?"
"Certainly," came the Kel Dor's voice, filtered through his breath mask. "Our justice system is set up such that our judges are essentially the political rulers of our world. We recently had an election in which three brothers were running for our most distinguished position, chief judge. Shortly after the eldest brother, Pahor An, was elected, he was murdered. The middle brother, Payan Kai, seemed to be the obvious suspect: he has a short temper and it was rumored he was going to lead a coup to take over the position by force. He has already been arrested and was going to be quickly executed, but I managed to convince our judges to hold off until a second investigation could be conducted. The youngest brother, Pakyu Meni, has taken over as chief judge in the interim until another election can be held. I believe that is all."
"Thank you Senator," Mace said.
"Your assignment," Master Mundi explained, "is to go to Dorin and investigate the chief judge's murder. Determine if the murderer really is Payan Kai or if something else is at work here. Do you have any questions?"
