Contrary to the claims of the PvP Party, the Commonwealth is indeed the Nyridion Galaxies oldest political party. Forged out of the political alliance of the Merivian Commonwealth, we decided that in order to ensure our interests are looked after we must stand behind a single representative.
That is not to say that the Commonwealth candidate or Councilor will serve the Commonwealth solely. During my term I was a strong advocate for Indy players, the Academy and small factions in addition to being the Commonwealths Representative. At times I disagreed with the views of many, including Commonwealth players, but always pursued the best interests of the Commonwealth and other players and groups I vowed to stand for.
The Second Elections are starting up and I wish luck to the next Commonwealth Candidate on their mission to guide the development of the galaxy.
