Imperial Shadow

Alright guys, here is the story. An RP I belong to is having elections for the planet Thyferra. In order to get a neutral perspective I'm going to give the background here, along with three potential candidates, and I'm going to ask you all to vote for your favourite. Whatever you vote will actually effect the RP I belong to, so try and take it somewhat seriously.
Background: Thyferra, the Bacta producing planet, has a population consisting of about 85% Vratix, insectiod creatures who have some sort of 'need' to make Bacta, and a semi-hive mind. Our RP happens some 100 years after Endor, and Thyferra has for a long time, been ruled by a class of Aristocratic human 'Nobles' who basically formed their own organization of wealth to keep themselves in power and opress the Thyferrans. With the death of the last king Edward Pratt (assassinated by a rogue force user), the Empire sent a fleet to Thyferra to make sure that it transitioned smoothly to a new government. The New Republic also sent a fleet. Words were exchanged with the two fleets eventually battling over Thyferra. In the end the Emperor arrived with his fleet to turn the tide of the battle, and the New Republic retreated. Now, some weeks later, with the Imperial fleet still in orbit, elections are going to be held to determind the fate of the planet. Here are your candidates:
Candidate 1:
Name: Duke Edmund Frakes
Species: Human
VP: CEO Archibald Trevors
Species: Human
Platform: A former Thyferran noble teamed with the CEO of one of the major bacta producing firms, they promise that under their rule Thyferra will oust the Imperials, rejoin the New Republic, and maintain the same status quo system that Edward Pratt and his predecessors ruled over for years. With the council of noblemen and such.
Slogan: "Noble men for a noble world."
Candidate 2
Name: Seeqov Thranx
Species: Vratix
VP: Moff Torgan
Species: Human
Platform: A respected Vratix leader Seeqov has teamed up with Moff Torgan, the Imperial ambassador assigned to Thyferra when their embassy was established. They are running based on a platform of change. The Empire was here to help secure the galaxies bacta supply, and fought to keep it in Thyferran hands. Now, they want to change the entire system, and put Vratix back in control of the bacta, with Imperial advisors to ensure a smooth transition of power. This would eliminate the Vratix biggest fear, trusting outsiders to manage fairly in their interests. They would then be free to make an independent Thyferra that could choose what their level of relationships would be with both the Empire and the NR. It could be something as limited as embassies, or something as extensive as alliance agreements. They quote past planets like Adarlon, and Geonosis (both planets our Empire has succesfully taken over and made into model corporations) as examples of the good that a relationship with the Empire can do.
Slogan: "For Thyferra!"
Candidate 3
Name: Analia Dalina
Species: Human
VP: Laeren Qhirf
Species: Vratix
Platform: The widowed wife of a NR sympathetic and semi-famous human nobleman, Analia Dalina has teamed up with a respected Vratix leader. The two claim that the Empire is trying to annex the planet one step at a time, and that the NR is their only chance of stopping the tyranical empire from making all of them into slaves. They also accuse the Empire in Analia's husband's death. They are running on a platform of restoring Thyferran government back to what it was during 'Alazhixazha' the Thriving Season. The period from 10 years before the rise of the Emperor and onward. This golden age of Thyferra was marked by humans in charge of business being constantly watched by the Vratix to ensure there was no corruption taking place.
Slogan: "If it worked then, why not now?"
Please simply state which Candidate you would vote for, and if you would like, a little statement about why.
