[ Jedi Temple ] To Jedi Council: Letter from his Imperial Majesty the emperor of Veolia, Saret Ilius

The courier landed in front of the Jedi Temple, and stepped out of the impressive shuttle carrying the colours of the Veolian Commonwealth. He wears ceremonial golden armour, and is flanked by four guards wearing ceremonial armour but also sporting state of the art blasters and vibroblades.
He waits for a moment, to have a good look at the immenseness of the Jedi Temple, before confidently walking towards the main entrance. As he arrives, he makes sure to follow the correct protocol for cleansing himself before entering the temple. The courier walks straight to the council chambers, only waiting for the necessary security checks.
Once in the chambers, he bows and announces: "I am Lord Sandes Avahak. I come bearing a missive from his imperial majesty the emperor of Veolia to the most esteemed and noble jedi council seated on Unity with the intent of handing it to a member of the council."
He offers an elaborate paper scroll to the present Jedi masters, "I shall remain on Unity for the duration of two months to allow the most esteemed masters of the council to present a reply."
He bows again, and leaves the council chambers and the temple without another word.
The scroll reads:
Most esteemed and noble Jedi masters of the council,
We write to you to inform you of our decision with regards to our financial and material contributions to the Jedi council's activities. Furthermore, we wish to inquire as to the circumstances that led to the mistreatment of my wife, whose well being and protection was placed in the care of your pupils.
We have the expectation that the most esteemed and noble masters of the jedi council will be capable of elaboration of the following:
My wife has informed us that she has been forced to travel in an almost derelict retrofitted cargo vessel, devoid of the normal amenities that can be expected of a diplomatic vessel. The vessel did not carry the colours of the Empire of Veolia, nor the Union. Furthermore, only a single vessel was used so the consequences of mechanical failure would have been dire. We desire to know why our wife was put in a vessel that was clearly not a worthy diplomatic vessel.
Furthermore, my wife's belonging has informed us that all quarters appointed to my wife and her retinue were furnished with beds. It is well known that my wife is unable to conceive, and to remind her of this in such a way is a cruel joke to play. We can not help but feel slighted by such carelessness. Alas, our wife has asked us to overlook this slight, and so we shall.
Then there are the most serious matters for which we expect to be supplied with a satisfying elaboration by the most esteemed masters of the jedi council:
Our wife's handmaidens have informed us that not only did the Jedi fail to scan the meeting location, where they would apparently have noted the wreckage of a Hutt infiltrator vessel, they did not consult either my wife or her handmaidens when it was decided to dock their vessel the Sacred Vendetta, a star destroyer of the Slave Rebellion. Thereby effectively giving up my wife as a hostage without as much as thinking about it.
During the meeting between our wife and the governors of the planet, my wife was threatened with summary execution. However, instead of coming to her immediate defence, the Jedi waited to act and forced my wife's belongings to put themselves in very vulnerable positions. But not only did the Jedi not take to their weapons even when the governors had their soldiers aim at our wife, the human jedi actually raised his hands as if in surrender.
Not due to the skill of the Jedi, but due to the whims of the second and third governor, our wife was allowed to leave and go back to relative safety of the unworthy cargo vessel. As was to be expected, she had now become a hostage of the Sacred Vendetta, to which the Jedi had so expertly given our wife up earlier: the cargo vessel was prevented from leaving.
In this situation, the human padawan visited our wife to politely and most humbly ask her to surrender to the demands of the Slave Rebellion. Surely, the most esteemed jedi are aware of the high esteem we hold them in? Instead of being the image of politeness we expect the Jedi to keep our wife safe, not to cater to the whims of hostage takers.
The handmaidens of our wife inform us that, eventually, the Jedi contact the admiral of the Sacred Vendetta to come to some kind of agreement. Instead of informing our wife of this development, they wait around until the admiral's operatives breach the cargo vessel and try to capture our wife. Instead of collaborating with the escape plan, and making sure our wife is not harmed in the process, the Jedi join combat with the operatives. The Jedi lose, but what is worse, the small child actually flees and the human stops fighting at once when the praetorian went down.
And finally, the whole goal of this endeavour is ignored as the Jedi flee to the Union without investigating the Hutt infiltrator vessel wreckage.
Most esteemed and noble masters of the Jedi council, it is as if your pupils did not have the well being and care for our wife in mind when they accompanied her to the Slave Rebellion.
We wish to know why the most esteemed masters of the jedi council allowed these jedi to care for the safety and well being of our wife, why they gave her up as a hostage the moment they encountered a Slave Rebellion vessel, why they failed to defend her not once but twice, and what will be done to discipline those responsible.
Regardless of your reply, we have decided to double the financial contributions the Empire of Veolia makes to the Jedi Council seated on Unity, as these recent events have made it clear to us that the educative facilities of the Jedi Council are underfunded and understaffed. We have faith in the judgement of the most esteemed and noble masters of the Jedi council, and we rest assured that you will place these funds where they will most aid the development of your pupils.
We look forward to your elaboration of these past events,
Emperor Saret Ilius
The latter seemed to be handwritten, with the signature's style matching the letter itself: this letter might well have been written by the emperor himself.

A reply was delivered, written on a regular datapad, by a human courier to the Emperor.

A nobleman brought a reply to the Jedi Council, again accompanied by four ceremonial guards.
The scroll reads:
Most esteemed and noble Jedi masters of the council,
We were under the impression that the Jedi were sent to offer both security and political advice. My wife explained that she was under the impression that the Jedi would have informed her if anything about her retinue was not as the Jedi seemed fit. My wife knows well the fact that other factions, such as the Jedi Council, might have differing interests and she did not wish to interfere with a carefully laid plan of the Jedi council.
It is clear now that the Jedi were not intent on offering political advice, as a simple question or statement during the pre-flight meeting would have sufficed, and would clearly not have risked any of my wife's carefully laid plans.
We propose that future missions in which the Jedi escort, protect or otherwise interact with a representative of the Veolian Commonwealth are preceded by a mission briefing in which both the Jedi and the appointed representative of the Veolian Commonwealth and her retinue are present. This way we can prevent another unfortunate miscommunication on such delicate matters. This will also allow us to clearly establish the role of the Jedi during such missions, so nu ambiguity about their position with regard to the veolian representative ensues.
We consider this matter resolved, and hope that our additional funding of the Jedi Council will be put to good use.
With kind regards,
Emperor Saret Ilius
