Hilter Afdol Announces Canidacy for Azguardian election

Former Dejarik Champion says, "I'm in to win... like always

In a press release from the a news agent representing Hilter Afdol said the former galactic Dejarik hologame champion is ready to re-enter public life. Hilter, who retired as the reigning champion of the IDHA (Galactic Dejarik Hologam Assosiation), has spent the last 5 years running, Agro Inc, his own corporation based on the agricultural world of Garqi. Reknowned for his calm calculating demenor, Hilter was regaurded as a master strategist in a game often enjoyed by smugglers and gamblers. His intensity last throughout the match, but a characteristic smile was often seen near the end of the game, as Hilter say the decisive finishing blow.

Outside of the gaming area, Hilter's corporation, Agro Inc, has skyrocketed since he accquired the company 5 years ago. Its stock, which trades on the Bonadoon, Aaragau, Muunlist and Dorthal exchanges, has jumped up as much as 73 percent, and has made both the company and Hilter independently wealthy. Of course, Chairman Afdol doen't need all of extra income, which compiled with his Dejarik winnings is estimated to be in the billions of credits, and thus he is known for his givings to various charitable organizations and planetary governments.

When asked why he was running, Hilter had said,

"I'm always up for a new challenge. It's just my spirit- wether it be dejarik, running a corporation, or leading a species, I want to be constantly pushing myself to perform to the best of my abilities."

Hilter was also not thrown off by the suggestion a human couldn't win an alien election, especially and alien race who had so recently engaged the Galactic Empire.

"I've read as much as I can find about the Azguards, and I must say, they're an advanced, well developed civillization. They'e not going to hold my race against me. I mean, if they're going to let anyone run, they must have an open mind."

When asked if he thought he had a chance to actually win, the former champion smiled and said,

"I always play to win... and if you don't believe me you can ask my former opponents. I'm in it to win.... like always."

If his winning ways can transfer over to a public election, who knows what else Hilter might be winning.

<span style="font-size:large;">Racial Puritarian Declares Candidacy</span>

Jyanus, a member of an organization called the Underclan Of Normal Humans, today announced his candidacy for the Azguardian political office.

"Azguard is in decay," he commented, "their leadership continues a war against the New Order that costs their citizens lifes and fortunes, and for what? Continual defeat in the face of a superior, albeit corrupt and evil, opponent. No, what Azguard needs is a negotiated peace with the Empire. But they can never have that when they hand in hand with terroist states such as the Outer Rim Soveirgnty."

He continued to say, "Were I elected, the Azguard would cut off all ties with these terrorist states, and begin to create a more stable, economically secure, and racially pure society."

Most famous for being a third party (among many) during the war with The Sith Brotherhood and The Galactic Defense Initiative, the Underclan Of Normal Humans often propogated that Jedi and Sith were fighting for essentially no reason, and were causing chaos throughout the galaxy as a result. The Underclan has engaged the Jedi and the Sith several times, in what while largely regarded as terrorist actions, were labelled by the Underclan as "righterous justice".

Adrian Atreides signed his name on the dotted line thus adding it to an already impressive list of leader hopefuls.

A reporter caught the unassuming man before he could slip away and was asked about his views on political issues.

The man paused a moment and simply said, "I definitely have my own ideas and views on certain things, but the leadership of Azguard is not a venue for me to promote those as much as it is a venue to work in harmony with the wishes of the democratic majority of all Azguard tribes, clans, and families."

He smiled before stepping into a taxi, "Before I can express my views on subjects of political importance, I must find out first what subjects/issues the Azguards hold as important."
