Eskol Kaartinen Government Administrative Center

The Eskol Kaartinen Government Administrative Center was the official office building used by the Consul and Tribune of Ekshi, as well as their various staffs. It was constructed from 127 to 128 ABY following the Cleansing of Ekshi, and replaced the ornate combined palace and government center the treacherous Consul Vessyk had built for himself.

The Centurion Eskol Kaartinen, appointed to replace Vessyk as Consul, ordered the construction of the building. When he dedicated it, it was known simply as the "Government Administrative Center". Kaartinen did much during his six-year term as Consul to repair the wrongs Vessyk had done, earning the trust and respect of the native Colorrbiz and rehabilitating the image of the Golden Empire on the planet.

When Kaartinen was recalled from duty and Niximot Grundo had completed his maximum six-year first Tribunate, Kaartinen's successor as Consul ordered statues of both Kaartinen and Grundo constructed and placed in the building's main lobby. After Kaartinen was killed in action in 157 ABY, the then-Consul and Tribune of Ekshi, by joint edict, renamed the government center in Kaartinen's memory.
