Community News Galactic Senate Program Updates for Spring 2024

The composition of the Galactic Senate will change beginning with the Spring 2024 Term (nominations for which will open soon!):

• The Melee, Ranged, and Hybrid seats will be combined into a “Combat Focus” seat.
• The Medic seat is renamed the “Science Focus” seat.
• The Bio-Engineer profession is moved to be under the Artisan Focus seat.
• The Community Programs seat is consolidated into the renamed Social Focus seat.
• The Jedi/FS seat has been removed.
• The PvP seat has been consolidated into the GCW seat.

Special Envoys are staff-appointed senator roles for special projects. We will continue to have a New Player Experience seat and will add a FS/Jedi seat to the Special Envoy category.

New Seat Composition is as follows:

1. Combat Focus: Brawler, Fencer, Lancer, Berserker, Teras Kasi Artist, Sharpshooter, Carbineer, Pistoleer, Sniper, Bounty Hunter, Commando, Smuggler, Squad Leader, Creature Handler
2. Science Focus: Medic, Combat Medic, Doctor
3. Social Focus: Entertainer, Dancer, Musician, Image Designer, Chronicler, Storytellers, Guilds, Player Cities, and Events
4. Artisan Focus: Artisan, Architect, Armorsmith, Chef, Droid Engineer, Merchant, Shipwright, Tailor, Weaponsmith, Bio-Engineer.
5. Outdoors Focus: Scout, Ranger
6. Space Senator: All JTL/Space Content and Ships, etc.
7. GCW Senator: All things factions, e.g., GCW, bases, faction perk, planetary control game, PvP, etc.

Additionally, because of the extensive composition changes, the term limit rules are waived for the Spring 2024 term only.
