Terugan Sovereignty Party

The Terugan Sovereignty Party (TSP) is a political party that currently leads the government of Teruga Prime.

History
In the most recent Terugan national election prior to 7 AR, the Terugan Sovereignty Party led by Ear Lornus beat the Continued Collaboration Party to win control of the Terugan government. The TSP leaned on Ear's assurances that she would bolster Terugan industry to make them a powerful independent force in their part of the galaxy which would not need to rely on other powers such as the Tanari Confederation for support. The TSP's campaign was helped by the fact that at the time, Anti-Tanari sentiment was at an all-time high on Teruga Prime, not just because of the Tanari's recent abuses of power on the planet, but also because of the massacre that the Tanari had committed on Atuar Sadiares, a space station close to Teruga Prime that had been owned by a Terugan. However, as the prospect of war between the New Order and the Free Systems Alliance seemed to become an inevitability, the TSP had no choice but to surrender a part of their sovereignty in order to join the Free Systems Alliance - a decision that was controversial at best considering the Tanari Confederation's membership of the FSA.
