Security, economic development, military spending, alien affairs, general ethical and moral views of society will be heavily influenced by the Imperator and their plans for Humanity.\nThe results of this election will influence how our developers shape the Empire in years to come and how you as players will experience the \u2019verse. Do xeno-relations improve or worsen? Will the economy grow or are there trouble times ahead? Many different paths lie before us, and we at CIG are ready to take the next step in open game-development and ask you, the Star Citizen Community, to decide which direction the UEE will go.\nOn October 10th, you will have a chance to decide how the lore of Star Citizen will evolve. Choose your candidate carefully and help us shape the \u2018verse!\nIf you fulfill your civic duty and vote, we will reward you with a Spectrum badge, showing off your chosen candidate so you can easily support them.\nKeep in mind, there\u2019s only one Imperator\u2019s Election in ten years, and this is your only chance to earn this exclusive reward by participating in the 2950 election. Table of contents:\n- A 10-year Plan - Laylani Addison - Titus Costigan - Paul LeSalle - Mira Ngo - Illyana Sharrad - Cast your Vote - The Lore behind the Election \u201cCharting our path through the stars doesn\u2019t involve destiny, only determination.\u201d\n- Pali Laumet\nEvery decade the UEE holds a special election to select the next Imperator. The Imperator serves a single ten-year term as the head of the UEE government where they oversee all branches of government, act as a diplomatic figurehead, sign or veto laws passed by the Senate, and more.\nThe Imperator election is similar to the Senatorial election as only Citizens have the honor of voting. The year-long election process begins the previous October with any UEE resident allowed to enter the primary. In January, a Primary Vote whittles the candidate field down to ten, and a Secondary Vote in April further reduces the number of candidates to five. The final five then have until October to convince Citizens to vote for them during the two-week long Final Vote which begins on Citizen\u2019s Day (October 10th).\nThe 2950 Imperator election features an exciting field of candidates from both the public and private sectors. Candidates have solidified their core campaign promises and shared with voters what their first act as Imperator would be if elected. With polls tightening, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess who will be elected next to chart the course for the empire for the next decade. \u25cf Only Citizens can vote for Imperator. \u25cf Each Citizen can cast one (1) vote for the Final Vote occurring between October 10th & October 24th, 2950. \u25cf Candidates listed alphabetically by last name.\nFirst Act: Loosen the current restrictions on AI research to allow for the exploration of new ideas and innovations that would benefit the entire Empire.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Increase government spending on education and scientific research initiatives to launch a new era of innovation. Would authorize highly regulated AI research to support these advances.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: I\u2019ll never forget the first Xi\u2019an ship I saw. Its form was familiar, but strange; its presence beautiful, but menacing. As a little girl standing awestruck at a spaceport on Oya III, the xeno-craft made me feel uneasy yet excited. Fascinated, I studied all I could about Xi\u2019an ships and came to appreciate that beneath the obvious differences there were many more similarities to be found. This realization inspired my lifelong belief that studying and learning are vital steps towards empathy and understanding.\nMy discussions with people across the Empire have revealed a similar mixture of excitement and apprehension about our current state of affairs. I can not deny that we currently face monumental challenges, from a horrific war against a merciless enemy to vast economic inequality, yet thanks to my experience as a researcher and scientist, I refuse to let fear dictate my future and choose instead to focus on the promise before us.\nI believe the ills of the Empire can be addressed through education and innovation. I will fight to reshape the UEE central government into an institution that improves the lives of its constituents by cultivating knowledge and inspiring change. A new Empire awaits us, if we\u2019re brave enough to create it.\nDean of Applied Science at Mentor University, Education Advocate\nPolitical Affiliation: Independent\nEndorsements: Educators United, Institute for Interspecies Peace, UEE Science Society First Act: I would bolster the economy by eliminating onerous regulations that slow the flow of inter-system trade, and will use the additional tax revenue generated by this economic uptick to increase defense spending.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Increase economic activity by reducing business regulations. Focus the central government on protecting the empire from external and internal threats.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: I am running to become Imperator because I believe that I have the experience necessary to lead the UEE into its most prosperous decade ever. Years of success in the private sector taught me that managing a massive, system-spanning operation requires not only ambition and imagination, but fiscal responsibility and a strong support team made up of innovative thinkers who will challenge and drive you. Know that it is not out of some misguided sense of legacy or birthright that I seek this position, but rather because I am convinced that the Empire\u2019s best days lie ahead of us, and that under my forward-thinking leadership together we can put the UEE on a path towards peace and prosperity. Will you join me?\nCEO Esrua Industries\nPolitical Affiliation: Universal Party\nEndorsements: Business Economic Trust, Merchant Guild, Intersystem Haulers United First Act: Paul\u2019s goal of expanding economic prosperity for all begins with a thorough reevaluation of the Fair Chance Act. For far too long, ridiculous restrictions have prohibited people from extracting resources from locations that lack life or utilizing cutting-edge technology that can harvest resources with minimal disturbance to the developing lifeforms.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Empower individuals to prosper by reducing taxes and regulations, including loosening certain weapon restrictions and reworking the Fair Chance Act for the modern era. Low level criminals would receive monetary penalties instead of prison so they have a chance to become a positive influence in society.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: Paul LeSalle has dedicated his life to public service and improving the UEE for all. He believes that the government\u2019s primary role is to protect individual liberties so people can prosper. For decades, he\u2019s pursued and defended these policies in several political arenas. He\u2019s had the honor of representing the great system of Goss in the Senate where he advocated for a fairer tax system and created an incentive system for companies to provide employment to struggling planets. For the past eight years, he also proudly served as Centralist Party chairman, unifying the party back to their core ideology and leading them to important election victories across the Empire.\nPaul has worked with and against the expansive government system and is now prepared to steer Humanity in an exciting new direction. One that protects the people from external threats while still fostering the freedom to pursue their dreams. Paul has spent his life preparing for this moment, and is ready, willing, and able to enact bold ideas that will build a government that works for the people.\nPolitician, Former Chair of Centralist Party\nPolitical Affiliation: Centralist Party\nEndorsements: Centralist Party, Federation of Interstellar Businesses, Wakana Society First Act: My first action would be to declare Terra the new capital of the UEE, and began the process of moving governmental institutions into the system.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Move the UEE capital to Terra as a symbol of our focus on the future. She would also outlaw terraforming, expand the Common Laws to provide more protection to Citizens and civilians, and require government agencies hire more Tevarin so they have a say in the empire\u2019s future.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: On April 30, 2793, my grandmother stepped onto the UEE Senate floor and cast a historic vote for the Governance Modernization Act (GMA), which fell three votes short of moving the Empire\u2019s capital from Earth to Terra. That hope of reshaping our government to be able to harness the full breadth of our potential has never died. Almost 150 years later, I am running to be Imperator so that this dream of a reimagined Empire with Terra at its center will become a reality.\nI have dedicated my life to public service, becoming the youngest person ever elected to the UEE Senate. This immense honor was only possible because as Senators my grandmother and father were beloved and trusted advocates for a more open and progressive Empire. Today, I proudly carry that mantle and have a vast voting record to back up my beliefs.\nI believe this Empire desperately needs new ideas and new perspectives to create a better future for all. We need to show that Humanity has truly taken a step forward and is making an effort to own our own future. Making Terra the Empire\u2019s new capital will signal such a shift and inspire innovative solutions to problems continually plaguing us. Together, let\u2019s create a government that respects our past, but remains firmly focused on the future.\nNow is your chance to make a historic vote to realize the ultimate dream of bringing the UEE capital to Terra. Support me in the next great social revolution and usher in a new era of growth and innovation for our Empire.\nLet\u2019s build a better future for us all, and bring progress to the people!\nUEE Senator representing Terra\nPolitical Affiliation: Transitionalist Party\nEndorsements: Transitionalist Party, Future Frontier Foundation, Diplomats for Lasting Peace First Act: Illyana will fast track one infrastructure project in each system. This will provide long overdue public works improvements, create employment opportunities, and increased economic activity across the UEE.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Increase infrastructure spending to create jobs and improve the backbone of the empire. Freeze Synthworld funding to evaluate its current potential. Promote \u2018Active Engagement\u2019 that requires those seeking assistance help the empire in other ways, like volunteering, to receive aid.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: High-Secretary Illyana Sharrad has devoted her life to improving the Empire. For the past eight years, she\u2019s had the honor of serving Imperator Costigan as High-Secretary and overseen trillions of credits in infrastructure improvements across the UEE. Before her transition into public service, Illyana protected taxpayers in the private sector by exposing a massive corruption scheme centered around bids for public works projects.\nIllyana is running to be the next Imperator because not only is she the best bridge between the current administration and an exciting new future, but she has the experience and skills to manage the Empire\u2019s complex bureaucracy and lead it in bold new directions. She\u2019ll let the generals continue their successful campaign against the Vanduul, rebuild crumbling infrastructure across the Empire, and create new programs that incentivize civic engagement.\nIllyana wants to build bridges, not tear them down \u2013 because hands-on experience has taught her that the UEE\u2019s major problems can only be solved when the people of the Empire come together.\nCurrent High-Secretary\nPolitical Affiliation: Universal Party\nEndorsements: Universal Party, United Public Servants, Civic Engagement Society Have you found your candidate and support their first official act and their core campaign promises?\nThen now is the time to choose and influence the development of Star Citizen.\nThe election runs from October 10 to October 24, and we will announce the result and unveil the new Imperator of the United Empire of Earth on November 1st.\nCAST YOUR VOTE NOW *Only current backers are eligible to vote.

Verbessern oder verschlechtern sich die Xeno-Beziehungen? Wird die Wirtschaft wachsen oder liegen schwierige Zeiten vor uns? Viele verschiedene Wege liegen vor uns, und wir von der CIG sind bereit, den n\u00e4chsten Schritt in der Entwicklung des offenen Spiels zu gehen und bitten euch, die Gemeinschaft der Sternenb\u00fcrger, zu entscheiden, in welche Richtung die UEE gehen wird.\nAm 10. Oktober werdet ihr die Chance haben, zu entscheiden, wie sich die \u00dcberlieferung des Sternenb\u00fcrgers entwickeln wird.

Der Imperator dient f\u00fcr eine einzige zehnj\u00e4hrige Amtszeit als Regierungschef der UEE, wo er alle Regierungszweige beaufsichtigt, als diplomatisches Aush\u00e4ngeschild fungiert, vom Senat verabschiedete Gesetze unterzeichnet oder ein Veto einlegt, und vieles mehr.\n\nDie Imperator-Wahl \u00e4hnelt der Senatoren-Wahl, da nur B\u00fcrger die Ehre haben zu w\u00e4hlen. Der einj\u00e4hrige Wahlprozess beginnt im vorhergehenden Oktober, wobei jeder Einwohner der UEE an der Vorwahl teilnehmen darf. Im Januar reduziert eine Primary Vote das Kandidatenfeld auf zehn, und eine Secondary Vote im April reduziert die Anzahl der Kandidaten weiter auf f\u00fcnf. Die letzten f\u00fcnf haben dann bis Oktober Zeit, um die B\u00fcrger davon zu \u00fcberzeugen, w\u00e4hrend der zweiw\u00f6chigen Schlussabstimmung, die am B\u00fcrgertag (10. Oktober) beginnt, f\u00fcr sie zu stimmen.\n\nDie Wahl zum Imperator 2950 bietet ein spannendes Feld von Kandidaten aus dem \u00f6ffentlichen und privaten Sektor. Die Kandidaten haben ihre wichtigsten Wahlversprechen bekr\u00e4ftigt und den W\u00e4hlern mitgeteilt, was ihre erste Handlung als Imperator w\u00e4re, wenn sie gew\u00e4hlt w\u00fcrden. Angesichts der sich versch\u00e4rfenden Umfragen kann jeder raten, wer als n\u00e4chstes gew\u00e4hlt wird, um die Weichen f\u00fcr das Imperium f\u00fcr das n\u00e4chste Jahrzehnt zu stellen.\n\u25cf Nur B\u00fcrger k\u00f6nnen den Imperator w\u00e4hlen.\n\u25cf Jeder B\u00fcrger kann eine (1) Stimme f\u00fcr die Endabstimmung abgeben, die zwischen dem 10. und 24.

W\u00fcrde stark regulierte KI-Forschung genehmigen, um diese Fortschritte zu unterst\u00fctzen.\n\nPers\u00f6nliche Stellungnahme: Ich werde nie das erste Xi'an-Schiff vergessen, das ich sah. Seine Form war vertraut, aber seltsam; seine Gegenwart sch\u00f6n, aber bedrohlich. Als ich als kleines M\u00e4dchen in Ehrfurcht an einem Raumhafen auf Oya III stand, machte mich das Xeno-Schiff unruhig und doch aufgeregt. Fasziniert studierte ich alles \u00fcber die Xi'an-Schiffe, was ich konnte, und lernte zu sch\u00e4tzen, dass unter den offensichtlichen Unterschieden noch viele weitere \u00c4hnlichkeiten zu finden waren. Diese Erkenntnis inspirierte meinen lebenslangen Glauben, dass Studieren und Lernen entscheidende Schritte zu Empathie und Verst\u00e4ndnis sind.\nMeine Diskussionen mit Menschen im ganzen Imperium haben eine \u00e4hnliche Mischung aus Aufregung und Besorgnis \u00fcber unseren derzeitigen Stand der Dinge offenbart. Ich kann nicht leugnen, dass wir derzeit monumentalen Herausforderungen gegen\u00fcberstehen, von einem schrecklichen Krieg gegen einen gnadenlosen Feind bis hin zu einer enormen wirtschaftlichen Ungleichheit, doch dank meiner Erfahrung als Forscher und Wissenschaftler weigere ich mich, mich von der Angst meine Zukunft diktieren zu lassen und entscheide mich stattdessen daf\u00fcr, mich auf das vor uns liegende Versprechen zu konzentrieren.\nIch glaube, dass die \u00dcbel des Imperiums durch Bildung und Innovation angegangen werden k\u00f6nnen. Ich werde daf\u00fcr k\u00e4mpfen, die Zentralregierung der UEE in eine Institution umzugestalten, die das Leben ihrer W\u00e4hler verbessert, indem sie Wissen kultiviert und Ver\u00e4nderungen anregt. Ein neues Imperium wartet auf uns, wenn wir mutig genug sind, es zu erschaffen.\nDekan f\u00fcr angewandte Wissenschaften an der Mentor Universit\u00e4t, F\u00fcrsprecher f\u00fcr Bildung\nPolitische Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit: Unabh\u00e4ngig\nBef\u00fcrwortungen: Educators United, Institut f\u00fcr Interspezies-Frieden, UEE Science Society\nErster Akt: Ich w\u00fcrde die Wirtschaft st\u00e4rken, indem ich l\u00e4stige Regulierungen abschaffe, die den Fluss des Handels zwischen den Systemen verlangsamen, und werde die zus\u00e4tzlichen Steuereinnahmen, die durch diesen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung entstehen, dazu verwenden, die Verteidigungsausgaben zu erh\u00f6hen.\n\nVersprechen der Kernkampagne: Steigerung der wirtschaftlichen Aktivit\u00e4t durch Reduzierung der Gesch\u00e4ftsregeln. Fokussierung der Zentralregierung auf den Schutz des Imperiums vor \u00e4u\u00dferen und inneren Bedrohungen.\n\nPers\u00f6nliche Stellungnahme: Ich kandidiere, um Imperator zu werden, weil ich glaube, dass ich die n\u00f6tige Erfahrung habe, um die UEE in ihr bisher erfolgreichstes Jahrzehnt zu f\u00fchren. Jahre des Erfolges im privaten Sektor haben mich gelehrt, dass die Leitung einer massiven, system\u00fcbergreifenden Operation nicht nur Ehrgeiz und Vorstellungskraft erfordert, sondern auch fiskalische Verantwortung und ein starkes Unterst\u00fctzungsteam, das aus innovativen Denkern besteht, die dich herausfordern und antreiben werden. Wisse, dass ich diese Position nicht aus einem fehlgeleiteten Gef\u00fchl des Verm\u00e4chtnisses oder Geburtsrechts heraus anstrebe, sondern weil ich davon \u00fcberzeugt bin, dass die besten Tage des Imperiums vor uns liegen und dass wir unter meiner vorausschauenden F\u00fchrung gemeinsam die UEE auf einen Weg zu Frieden und Wohlstand bringen k\u00f6nnen. Wirst du dich mir anschlie\u00dfen?\nCEO Esrua Industries\nPolitische Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit: Universelle Partei\nBef\u00fcrwortungen: Business Economic Trust, Kaufmannsgilde, Intersystem Haulers United\nErster Akt: Pauls Ziel, den wirtschaftlichen Wohlstand f\u00fcr alle auszubauen, beginnt mit einer gr\u00fcndlichen Neubewertung des Fair Chance Act. Viel zu lange haben l\u00e4cherliche Restriktionen es den Menschen verboten, Ressourcen an Orten zu gewinnen, an denen es an Leben fehlt, oder Spitzentechnologie zu nutzen, die Ressourcen mit minimaler St\u00f6rung der sich entwickelnden Lebensformen ernten kann.\n\nVersprechen der Kernkampagne: Bef\u00e4higt den Einzelnen zu Wohlstand, indem Steuern und Vorschriften gesenkt werden, einschlie\u00dflich der Lockerung bestimmter Waffenbeschr\u00e4nkungen und der \u00dcberarbeitung des Fair Chance Act f\u00fcr die Moderne. Niedrigstufige Kriminelle w\u00fcrden Geldstrafen statt Gef\u00e4ngnis erhalten, so dass sie die Chance haben, einen positiven Einfluss in der Gesellschaft auszu\u00fcben.\n\nPers\u00f6nliche Stellungnahme: Paul LeSalle hat sein Leben dem \u00f6ffentlichen Dienst und der Verbesserung der UEE f\u00fcr alle gewidmet. Er glaubt, dass die Hauptaufgabe der Regierung darin besteht, die individuellen Freiheiten zu sch\u00fctzen, damit die Menschen gedeihen k\u00f6nnen. Seit Jahrzehnten hat er diese Politik in verschiedenen politischen Bereichen verfolgt und verteidigt. Er hatte die Ehre, das gro\u00dfartige System von Goss im Senat zu vertreten, wo er f\u00fcr ein gerechteres Steuersystem eintrat und ein Anreizsystem f\u00fcr Unternehmen schuf, um den k\u00e4mpfenden Planeten Arbeitspl\u00e4tze zu verschaffen. In den letzten acht Jahren war er auch stolz darauf, als Vorsitzender der Centralist Party zu fungieren, die Partei wieder zu ihrer Kernideologie zu vereinen und sie zu wichtigen Wahlsiegen im ganzen Imperium zu f\u00fchren.\nPaul hat mit und gegen das expansive Regierungssystem gearbeitet und ist nun bereit, die Menschheit in eine aufregende neue Richtung zu lenken. Eine, die die Menschen vor \u00e4u\u00dferen Bedrohungen sch\u00fctzt und gleichzeitig die Freiheit f\u00f6rdert, ihre Tr\u00e4ume zu verfolgen. Paulus hat sein Leben damit verbracht, sich auf diesen Moment vorzubereiten, und ist bereit, willens und in der Lage, k\u00fchne Ideen zu verwirklichen, die eine Regierung aufbauen, die f\u00fcr die Menschen arbeitet.\nPolitiker, ehemaliger Vorsitzender der Zentralistischen Partei\nPolitische Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit: Zentralistische Partei\nBef\u00fcrwortungen: Zentralistische Partei, F\u00f6deration Interstellarer Unternehmen, Wakana-Gesellschaft\nErster Akt: Meine erste Handlung w\u00fcrde darin bestehen, Terra zur neuen Hauptstadt der UEE zu erkl\u00e4ren und den Prozess des Umzugs der Regierungsinstitutionen in das System zu beginnen.\n\nVersprechen der Kernkampagne: Die Hauptstadt der UEE nach Terra zu verlegen, als Symbol f\u00fcr unseren Fokus auf die Zukunft. Sie w\u00fcrde auch Terraforming verbieten, die Common Laws erweitern, um B\u00fcrgern und Zivilisten mehr Schutz zu bieten, und von den Regierungsbeh\u00f6rden verlangen, mehr Tevarins einzustellen, damit sie ein Mitspracherecht bei der Zukunft des Imperiums haben.\n\nPers\u00f6nliche Stellungnahme: Am 30. April 2793 trat meine Gro\u00dfmutter in den Senat der UEE ein und gab eine historische Stimme f\u00fcr den Governance Modernization Act (GMA) ab, der drei Stimmen zu wenig war, um die Hauptstadt des Imperiums von der Erde nach Terra zu verlegen. Diese Hoffnung, unsere Regierung so umzugestalten, dass sie in der Lage ist, die volle Breite unseres Potenzials zu nutzen, ist nie erloschen. Fast 150 Jahre sp\u00e4ter kandidiere ich daf\u00fcr, Imperator zu werden, damit dieser Traum von einem neu gestalteten Imperium mit Terra im Zentrum Wirklichkeit wird.\nIch habe mein Leben dem \u00f6ffentlichen Dienst gewidmet und bin die j\u00fcngste Person, die jemals in den Senat der UEE gew\u00e4hlt wurde. Diese immense Ehre war nur m\u00f6glich, weil meine Gro\u00dfmutter und mein Vater als Senatoren geliebte und vertrauensw\u00fcrdige F\u00fcrsprecher f\u00fcr ein offeneres und fortschrittlicheres Imperium waren. Heute trage ich diesen Mantel mit Stolz und habe eine riesige Wahlbilanz, die meine \u00dcberzeugungen untermauert.\nIch glaube, dass dieses Imperium verzweifelt neue Ideen und neue Perspektiven braucht, um eine bessere Zukunft f\u00fcr alle zu schaffen. Wir m\u00fcssen zeigen, dass die Menschheit wirklich einen Schritt vorw\u00e4rts gemacht hat und sich bem\u00fcht, unsere eigene Zukunft zu besitzen. Terra zur neuen Hauptstadt des Imperiums zu machen, wird einen solchen Wandel signalisieren und innovative L\u00f6sungen f\u00fcr Probleme inspirieren, die uns st\u00e4ndig plagen. Lasst uns gemeinsam eine Regierung schaffen, die unsere Vergangenheit respektiert, aber fest auf die Zukunft ausgerichtet bleibt.\nJetzt ist eure Chance, eine historische Abstimmung durchzuf\u00fchren, um den ultimativen Traum zu verwirklichen, die Hauptstadt der UEE nach Terra zu bringen. Unterst\u00fctzt mich bei der n\u00e4chsten gro\u00dfen sozialen Revolution und l\u00e4utet eine neue \u00c4ra des Wachstums und der Innovation f\u00fcr unser Imperium ein.\nLasst uns eine bessere Zukunft f\u00fcr uns alle aufbauen und den Menschen Fortschritt bringen!\nUEE Senator als Vertreter von Terra\nPolitische Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit: Transitionalistische Partei\nBef\u00fcrwortungen: Transitionalistische Partei, Future Frontier Foundation, Diplomaten f\u00fcr dauerhaften Frieden\nErster Akt: Illyana wird in jedem System ein Infrastrukturprojekt im Schnellverfahren durchf\u00fchren. Dies wird l\u00e4ngst \u00fcberf\u00e4llige Verbesserungen der \u00f6ffentlichen Bauarbeiten bringen, Arbeitspl\u00e4tze schaffen und die wirtschaftliche Aktivit\u00e4t in der gesamten UEE erh\u00f6hen.\n\nVersprechen der Kernkampagne: Erh\u00f6he die Infrastrukturausgaben, um Arbeitspl\u00e4tze zu schaffen und das R\u00fcckgrat des Imperiums zu verbessern. Friert die Finanzierung von Synthworld ein, um das derzeitige Potential zu bewerten. F\u00f6rdert 'Aktives Engagement', das erfordert, dass diejenigen, die Hilfe suchen, dem Imperium auf andere Art und Weise, wie z.B. durch Freiwilligenarbeit, helfen, Hilfe zu erhalten.\n\nPers\u00f6nliche Stellungnahme: High-Secretary Illyana Sharrad hat ihr Leben der Verbesserung des Imperiums gewidmet. In den letzten acht Jahren hatte sie die Ehre, Imperator Costigan als Hohe Sekret\u00e4rin zu dienen und \u00fcberwachte Billionen von Credits bei der Verbesserung der Infrastruktur in der gesamten UEE. Vor ihrem \u00dcbergang in den \u00f6ffentlichen Dienst sch\u00fctzte Illyana die Steuerzahler im privaten Sektor, indem sie ein massives Korruptionsschema aufdeckte, das sich um Angebote f\u00fcr \u00f6ffentliche Bauprojekte drehte.\nIllyana kandidiert, um die n\u00e4chste Imperatorin zu werden, weil sie nicht nur die beste Br\u00fccke zwischen der derzeitigen Verwaltung und einer aufregenden neuen Zukunft ist, sondern auch die Erfahrung und die F\u00e4higkeiten besitzt, um die komplexe B\u00fcrokratie des Imperiums zu managen und sie in k\u00fchne neue Richtungen zu f\u00fchren. Sie wird die Gener\u00e4le ihren erfolgreichen Feldzug gegen die Vanduul fortsetzen lassen, die br\u00f6ckelnde Infrastruktur im ganzen Reich wieder aufbauen und neue Programme schaffen, die Anreize f\u00fcr b\u00fcrgerschaftliches Engagement schaffen.\nIllyana will Br\u00fccken bauen, nicht niederrei\u00dfen - denn die praktische Erfahrung hat sie gelehrt, dass die gro\u00dfen Probleme der UEE nur gel\u00f6st werden k\u00f6nnen, wenn die Menschen des Imperiums zusammenkommen.\nDerzeitiger High-Secretary\nPolitische Zugeh\u00f6rigkeit: Universelle Partei\nBef\u00fcrwortungen: Universal Party, Vereinigte \u00d6ffentliche Bedienstete, Gesellschaft f\u00fcr b\u00fcrgerschaftliches Engagement\nHast du deinen Kandidaten gefunden und unterst\u00fctzt du ihre erste Amtshandlung und ihre zentralen Wahlversprechen?\n\nDann ist es jetzt an der Zeit, zu w\u00e4hlen und die Entwicklung von Star Citizen zu beeinflussen.\n\nDie Wahl l\u00e4uft vom 10.

Security, economic development, military spending, alien affairs, general ethical and moral views of society will be heavily influenced by the Imperator and their plans for Humanity.\nThe results of this election will influence how our developers shape the Empire in years to come and how you as players will experience the \u2019verse. Do xeno-relations improve or worsen? Will the economy grow or are there trouble times ahead? Many different paths lie before us, and we at CIG are ready to take the next step in open game-development and ask you, the Star Citizen Community, to decide which direction the UEE will go.\nOn October 10th, you will have a chance to decide how the lore of Star Citizen will evolve. Choose your candidate carefully and help us shape the \u2018verse!\nIf you fulfill your civic duty and vote, we will reward you with a Spectrum badge, showing off your chosen candidate so you can easily support them.\nKeep in mind, there\u2019s only one Imperator\u2019s Election in ten years, and this is your only chance to earn this exclusive reward by participating in the 2950 election. Table of contents:\n- A 10-year Plan - Laylani Addison - Titus Costigan - Paul LeSalle - Mira Ngo - Illyana Sharrad - Cast your Vote - The Lore behind the Election \u201cCharting our path through the stars doesn\u2019t involve destiny, only determination.\u201d\n- Pali Laumet\nEvery decade the UEE holds a special election to select the next Imperator. The Imperator serves a single ten-year term as the head of the UEE government where they oversee all branches of government, act as a diplomatic figurehead, sign or veto laws passed by the Senate, and more.\nThe Imperator election is similar to the Senatorial election as only Citizens have the honor of voting. The year-long election process begins the previous October with any UEE resident allowed to enter the primary. In January, a Primary Vote whittles the candidate field down to ten, and a Secondary Vote in April further reduces the number of candidates to five. The final five then have until October to convince Citizens to vote for them during the two-week long Final Vote which begins on Citizen\u2019s Day (October 10th).\nThe 2950 Imperator election features an exciting field of candidates from both the public and private sectors. Candidates have solidified their core campaign promises and shared with voters what their first act as Imperator would be if elected. With polls tightening, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess who will be elected next to chart the course for the empire for the next decade. \u25cf Only Citizens can vote for Imperator. \u25cf Each Citizen can cast one (1) vote for the Final Vote occurring between October 10th & October 24th, 2950. \u25cf Candidates listed alphabetically by last name.\nFirst Act: Loosen the current restrictions on AI research to allow for the exploration of new ideas and innovations that would benefit the entire Empire.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Increase government spending on education and scientific research initiatives to launch a new era of innovation. Would authorize highly regulated AI research to support these advances.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: I\u2019ll never forget the first Xi\u2019an ship I saw. Its form was familiar, but strange; its presence beautiful, but menacing. As a little girl standing awestruck at a spaceport on Oya III, the xeno-craft made me feel uneasy yet excited. Fascinated, I studied all I could about Xi\u2019an ships and came to appreciate that beneath the obvious differences there were many more similarities to be found. This realization inspired my lifelong belief that studying and learning are vital steps towards empathy and understanding.\nMy discussions with people across the Empire have revealed a similar mixture of excitement and apprehension about our current state of affairs. I can not deny that we currently face monumental challenges, from a horrific war against a merciless enemy to vast economic inequality, yet thanks to my experience as a researcher and scientist, I refuse to let fear dictate my future and choose instead to focus on the promise before us.\nI believe the ills of the Empire can be addressed through education and innovation. I will fight to reshape the UEE central government into an institution that improves the lives of its constituents by cultivating knowledge and inspiring change. A new Empire awaits us, if we\u2019re brave enough to create it.\nDean of Applied Science at Mentor University, Education Advocate\nPolitical Affiliation: Independent\nEndorsements: Educators United, Institute for Interspecies Peace, UEE Science Society First Act: I would bolster the economy by eliminating onerous regulations that slow the flow of inter-system trade, and will use the additional tax revenue generated by this economic uptick to increase defense spending.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Increase economic activity by reducing business regulations. Focus the central government on protecting the empire from external and internal threats.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: I am running to become Imperator because I believe that I have the experience necessary to lead the UEE into its most prosperous decade ever. Years of success in the private sector taught me that managing a massive, system-spanning operation requires not only ambition and imagination, but fiscal responsibility and a strong support team made up of innovative thinkers who will challenge and drive you. Know that it is not out of some misguided sense of legacy or birthright that I seek this position, but rather because I am convinced that the Empire\u2019s best days lie ahead of us, and that under my forward-thinking leadership together we can put the UEE on a path towards peace and prosperity. Will you join me?\nCEO Esrua Industries\nPolitical Affiliation: Universal Party\nEndorsements: Business Economic Trust, Merchant Guild, Intersystem Haulers United First Act: Paul\u2019s goal of expanding economic prosperity for all begins with a thorough reevaluation of the Fair Chance Act. For far too long, ridiculous restrictions have prohibited people from extracting resources from locations that lack life or utilizing cutting-edge technology that can harvest resources with minimal disturbance to the developing lifeforms.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Empower individuals to prosper by reducing taxes and regulations, including loosening certain weapon restrictions and reworking the Fair Chance Act for the modern era. Low level criminals would receive monetary penalties instead of prison so they have a chance to become a positive influence in society.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: Paul LeSalle has dedicated his life to public service and improving the UEE for all. He believes that the government\u2019s primary role is to protect individual liberties so people can prosper. For decades, he\u2019s pursued and defended these policies in several political arenas. He\u2019s had the honor of representing the great system of Goss in the Senate where he advocated for a fairer tax system and created an incentive system for companies to provide employment to struggling planets. For the past eight years, he also proudly served as Centralist Party chairman, unifying the party back to their core ideology and leading them to important election victories across the Empire.\nPaul has worked with and against the expansive government system and is now prepared to steer Humanity in an exciting new direction. One that protects the people from external threats while still fostering the freedom to pursue their dreams. Paul has spent his life preparing for this moment, and is ready, willing, and able to enact bold ideas that will build a government that works for the people.\nPolitician, Former Chair of Centralist Party\nPolitical Affiliation: Centralist Party\nEndorsements: Centralist Party, Federation of Interstellar Businesses, Wakana Society First Act: My first action would be to declare Terra the new capital of the UEE, and began the process of moving governmental institutions into the system.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Move the UEE capital to Terra as a symbol of our focus on the future. She would also outlaw terraforming, expand the Common Laws to provide more protection to Citizens and civilians, and require government agencies hire more Tevarin so they have a say in the empire\u2019s future.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: On April 30, 2793, my grandmother stepped onto the UEE Senate floor and cast a historic vote for the Governance Modernization Act (GMA), which fell three votes short of moving the Empire\u2019s capital from Earth to Terra. That hope of reshaping our government to be able to harness the full breadth of our potential has never died. Almost 150 years later, I am running to be Imperator so that this dream of a reimagined Empire with Terra at its center will become a reality.\nI have dedicated my life to public service, becoming the youngest person ever elected to the UEE Senate. This immense honor was only possible because as Senators my grandmother and father were beloved and trusted advocates for a more open and progressive Empire. Today, I proudly carry that mantle and have a vast voting record to back up my beliefs.\nI believe this Empire desperately needs new ideas and new perspectives to create a better future for all. We need to show that Humanity has truly taken a step forward and is making an effort to own our own future. Making Terra the Empire\u2019s new capital will signal such a shift and inspire innovative solutions to problems continually plaguing us. Together, let\u2019s create a government that respects our past, but remains firmly focused on the future.\nNow is your chance to make a historic vote to realize the ultimate dream of bringing the UEE capital to Terra. Support me in the next great social revolution and usher in a new era of growth and innovation for our Empire.\nLet\u2019s build a better future for us all, and bring progress to the people!\nUEE Senator representing Terra\nPolitical Affiliation: Transitionalist Party\nEndorsements: Transitionalist Party, Future Frontier Foundation, Diplomats for Lasting Peace First Act: Illyana will fast track one infrastructure project in each system. This will provide long overdue public works improvements, create employment opportunities, and increased economic activity across the UEE.\n\n\nCore Campaign Promises: Increase infrastructure spending to create jobs and improve the backbone of the empire. Freeze Synthworld funding to evaluate its current potential. Promote \u2018Active Engagement\u2019 that requires those seeking assistance help the empire in other ways, like volunteering, to receive aid.\n\n\n\nPersonal Statement: High-Secretary Illyana Sharrad has devoted her life to improving the Empire. For the past eight years, she\u2019s had the honor of serving Imperator Costigan as High-Secretary and overseen trillions of credits in infrastructure improvements across the UEE. Before her transition into public service, Illyana protected taxpayers in the private sector by exposing a massive corruption scheme centered around bids for public works projects.\nIllyana is running to be the next Imperator because not only is she the best bridge between the current administration and an exciting new future, but she has the experience and skills to manage the Empire\u2019s complex bureaucracy and lead it in bold new directions. She\u2019ll let the generals continue their successful campaign against the Vanduul, rebuild crumbling infrastructure across the Empire, and create new programs that incentivize civic engagement.\nIllyana wants to build bridges, not tear them down \u2013 because hands-on experience has taught her that the UEE\u2019s major problems can only be solved when the people of the Empire come together.\nCurrent High-Secretary\nPolitical Affiliation: Universal Party\nEndorsements: Universal Party, United Public Servants, Civic Engagement Society Have you found your candidate and support their first official act and their core campaign promises?\nThen now is the time to choose and influence the development of Star Citizen.\nThe election runs from October 10 to October 24, and we will announce the result and unveil the new Imperator of the United Empire of Earth on November 1st.\nCAST YOUR VOTE NOW *Only current backers are eligible to vote.
