Elysian Regency Ends
Posted by: Gideon Bodnari, The Kingdom of Elysia
Date: Year 18 Day 133 From the Palace Crown Palace in Lortaa Elysium on Lorta (-70, -300).

LORTA, GENDIUS -- In a release from the Crown Palace on Lorta, The Kingdom of Elysia has announced that Regent Gideon Bodnari has officially ascended the Kingdom's throne, ending the Kingdom's period of regency. Bodnari, who has served as Regent for just over a year, succeeds King Arklari Clise as the Second King of Elysia. Bodnari also succeeds to the Arch-Duchy of House Vigihan, Elysia's Royal House in which he has served Clise since Year 7. The coronation was a small private ceremony at the Royal Palace on Lorta, followed by an address broadcast to the Kingdom's citizens. In the address, Bodnari affirmed most of the Kingdom's existing policies, but did indicate some changes in course. "The Kingdom of Elysia will continue to focus on providing our citizens with a nurturing environment in which to puruse their individual successes," Bodnari said. "This is an ideal which House Vigihan has held since our Avancian roots, and which has continued to guide our course in the Elysian era. But it is not enough to seek economic prosperity while inviting destructive conflict. During my regency we established a policy of disentanglement from any alliances, while maintaining goodwill with those governments we interacted with. As King, I now affirm Elysia's neutrality. War is the enemy of prosperity. We bear malice toward no one who bears us none, and instead offer peace and growth to those who would seek them with us."

Arkarli Clise first rose to galactic prominence as CEO of the Czerka Mining Corporation and Archduke of House Vigihan within the Avance Coalition. Clise established himself as a successful trader and led Vigihan's colonization efforts in the Cerean Quadrant and Outer Rim B-3 sectors that substantially added to the Coalition's space and created the Atei Domnion -- the first of Avance's federal provinces which was in turn subdivided into a series of subsidiary governments.  Clise later ascended to First Seat of the Avance Coalition, succeeding First Seat Horthon Gorthy. After Navik Ikron seized control of the Coalition and sought to end it in Year 15, Clise retained the sectors Vigihan had colonized and established the Kingdom of Elysia, guiding it through it's formation. After surviving an assassination attempt by then-Chancellor Ciara de Savona, Clise appeared to recover his health but his ability to govern diminished until he withdrew from public service in late Year 16.  Clise's activities in retirement are unconfirmed, but are believed to focus on research and development activities which had been a lifelong pursuit for the learned Wookiee.

Gideon Bodnari, Second King of Elysia

Gideon Bodnari was Clise's protege during their Avance years. His first leadership role was as the Administrator of Golan Technologies when Vigihan founded that manufacturing concern in Year 8. He served in that role for several years, spearheading Vigihan's colonization efforts in Periphery and maintaining relations with The eXiles, with whom Vigihan had divided the sector. Bodnari also coordinated Avance's in-sector efforts with the eXiles in successfully repelling Eidolan incursions at Bararyn and Celetillian. This led to his service as Avance's Consul for Diplomatic Affairs, an office in which he continued to serve until his retirement in Year 13.  

Bodnari returned from retirement in Year 15 after learning of the attempt on his mentor's life, to serve as Lord Commander of Elysia's Department of Defense and then as Lord Regent.  Bodnari's regency was primarily marked by his introduction of the Elysian House Charter, which has already empowered the development of successful Houses in several systems that were mere colonial frontiers only a short time ago.
