| The Raioballo Sector has of late risen to prominence as a cradle of rebellious sedition against the rightful governance of the Imperial Crown. While this is not correct that we should allow rebellion to run rampant in the Sector, it is also not desirable that loyal Imperial Citizens should have their sector essentially occupied by Imperial Forces from foreign Sectors to restore order. It should be noted that condemnation of the rebellion in the Sector was not Universal, and that Senator Exar Ray of Dantooine failed to issue a condemnation of the actions of the rebels for reasons unknown. Thus I think it would be desirable to appoint a duly constituted and directly appointed Imperial Sector Moff in order that:
1. The lives and prosperity of the citizens of the Raioballo Sector be protected.
2. The level of forces in the Raioballo Sector be controlled at an appropriate and necessary level, the presence of which would be paid out of the Sector purse.
3. The the people of the Raioballo Sector could appeal to a local governor for Justice etc.
4. An official would be nominated who could manage the Sector and be responsible for the good conduct of its Senators and worlds, the collection of taxes etc. I propose that out of the Sector Treasury an appropriate military force would be funded in order to assure good order in the Sector; this would consist of the following forces. Raioballo Sector Fleet 1x Carrack-class Light Cruiser
2x Neutron Star-class Bulk Cruisers
10x Prosperity-class Customs Cruisers
10x Imperial Patrol Ships Raioballo Sector Ground Complement 1 Company of Imperial Stormtroopers
1 Line Battalion of Imperial Army Soldiers The Sector Moff would also have the power to call upon all local forces as and when required, this would allow military problems to be tackled quickly by the intervention of "keyhole surgery" forces such as that lead by the heroic Captain who excelled himself at Alurion in capturing the rebel command, with long term peacekeeping to be done by local Militia forces with Imperial supervision. This would reduce the need for Imperial Naval forces to be deployed to quell local problems, although as ever the Moff would be able to request their help.

| I agree whole-heartedly. It is time someone puts these backward in-breeds back in their place. Then again, I guess you can't blame mental retardation. Anyways, I Approve of this proposal.

| While I do not think it's the responsibility of the Senate to determine how many of what ships should constitute this proposed Raioballo Sector Fleet, I do vote in favor of the fleet in principle and the proposed Moff of that Sector, too. A significant amount of seditious activity has, indeed, occurred there in recent months. The revolt on Alurion and the Senator from Dantooine's apparent refusal to condemn it are, of course, the latest examples of this. It also troubles me that, in the course of the revolt, a flotilla of rebel ships ambushed a Star Destroyer—presumably, this flotilla was assembled from within the Raioballo Sector itself, and thus the rebels are still on the loose somewhere in the Sector. Clearly, it is in need of an Imperial presence.
I also agree with Senator North that, with the exception of respected worlds in the Sector like Sinsang, Kesmere, etc., poor education is clearly to blame for the rebellious character of this region. Consider a backward planet like Dantooine, whose people have the distinction of being walking parodies of themselves, and whose Senator seems to encourage an image of himself as a closet rebel who smiles warmly upon the murder of Imperial troops. What else would he have us think of him, based on his refusal to condemn the Alurion revolt when all his neighbors did so? I agree with Senator Oriel; the Raioballo Sector needs an Imperial hand on the tiller to discourage its rebellious character and protect the people, property, and products of the Sector.

| While I must stand against any sort of legislative statement on the consistency of any Sector Fleets or Sector Armies, I do Approve of the establishment of a complete Imperial sector government within Raioballo Sector. Senator Cambrist is correct in his statements on Senator Ray's behavior, and we must bring this region back into line. Being the largest focus of our agricultural sector outside of the Core, this sector is not vital in a military sense, but a cultural sense.
The Tammuz Sector was blessed with it's sector personnel. Which is why I am recommending that Governor Ribaldequin Augustus be transferred to become the first Governor of Gravlex Med. The Governor has served Deralia itself well, and is an excellent statesman despite his youth. He will excel in the new environment and become a true asset to the Raioballo Sector.
I wish, however, to go a step farther, if I may, and recommend the transfer of Moff Simon Levi as well, if the Chair, and the Throne will have it. Raioballo needs a strong, but fair, individual to lead it. Someone who has the ability to handle troublesome planetary leaders. He is also a very fine financial manager, and can make Raioballo a financially successful region for the Empire, as he has helped the rest of the Tammuz Sector become, as well.

| Gentlemen, while the desire to "civilize" the Raioballo sector is a noble cause, I cannot help but dwell on Senator North's rather inappropraite sterotyping of the people in this sector. No one can be forced into civilization if they are not treated civilly, Senator. Perhaps instead of being verbally abusive and demeaning, you and the planet you represent could offer to assist with medical care and education. Part of the issue could be the lack of education due to poor or not enough teachers to impart the ways of the Empire to the people? Of course, that could be dealt with at a later time once the sector is more stable.
Until that time, and when it comes, Chandrila will offer some of her educators for the purpose, I will vote in favor. Also, I fully support the recommendations made by Senator Veritas.

| It's nice to see an advocate for Dantooine in this chamber for a change, even if it is the Senator from Chandrila. Also, it occurs to me that I might have been uncharitable to Senator Ray in suspecting him, because of his refusal to condemn the Alurion revolt, of "smiling warmly upon the murder of Imperial troops." It's possible, considering his astounding silence on this issue, too, that his first instinct when faced with any sort of adversity is to do, and say, nothing. Surely even the people of Dantooine—plain speakers, if nothing else (and indeed, nothing else)—can't be pleased with Senator Ray's apparent lethargy and the complete absence of any zeal whatsoever to defend their honor, much less to represent their interests.

| Well Senator Cambrist, would you charge into an attack head on? I think even you are not that stupid. As to the rest of Senate, I will be very clear. When the Empire sends Star Destroyers to a planet, why is there still a need to make a statement? Can someone honestly answer that for me? Allow me to ask this. If I was so against the revolution of Alurion, then why would I allow Star Destroyers to stay orbited around Dantooine? Why would I not of demanded their removal? I will tell you Senators, because I believe in the greater good. Why should I waste my time prepping a speech when the Empire is already in motion? Yes I have not said much lately, and yes I have been absent from the Senate, because honestly I cannot stomach half of the laws that are purposed in this chamber. But I have realized that I may be silenced, I may be removed, hell I may even be killed, but I do not care anymore. We all have voices for a reason and sometimes silence is the best purposed legislation ever. I stand by my actions, and even if I stand alone I will make a stand.
I am really ashamed that several Senators here have nothing better to do then attack people. Many of you have no reason to attack anyone vocally. And just because I do not agree with most of your thoughts doesn't mean that I have to become a target. You all think you are safe because you sit in your high security rooms and you think you can get away with murder. I hate to say it, but you are all wrong.
Dantooine firmly rejects everything that is purposed here. There is no need for it. If anything, we counter this bill by challenging the Grand Vizier to appoint someone else to the Moff position if he and the Emperor see fit. And then the said Moff can bring to the table what he wishes. Because my job is to represent Dantooine and ONLY Dantooine. It is not my duty to anyone else, but that planet. If Alurion revolts, then so be it. Do not shatter my imagine when you have multiple Star Destroyers on course to destroy the planet again.

| Since everyone is so curious as to knowing Dantooine's official stance on Alurion, here it is.
Dantooine of course stands with the Empire of any planet that launches into full planet wide revolt. It condems the needless death of any Imperial citizen or military Personnel. Any planet that seeks to cause de-stabilization within the galaxy must be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. However, because of the very quick response of the Imperial Military against such a revolting planet, has caused the Khoonda Administration to declare the problem solved and no longer requiring attention.

| Why is there need, Senator Ray? Because it is patriotic. Because it is showing loyalty. And seriously, Senator, you lord over Dantooine... how busy of a day could you possibly have that it is impossible to quickly write up and send out a statement telling the galaxy that you disapprove of a world's actions? Is your cousin after you to marry him/her that aggressively? Has your sister demanded that you procreate twenty children on the spot? The only logical conclusion, despite any words to the contrary after the fact and aside from the previous two examples, you did support Alurion. Your words earlier, let me see if I can recall them right, "Yes I have not said much lately, and yes I have been absent from the Senate, because honestly I cannot stomach half of the laws that are purposed in this chamber." I believe we have a shining example of the Dantooine education systems here in this very chamber!
Tell me Senator, do you own a firearm? Have you ever shot yourself in the foot, or any other body part? You have done so just now with your words. These laws that you can not stomach... they protect our servicemembers, they look out for veterans, they give aid to locations ravaged by natural disaster, they ensure that war between worlds becomes a threat no longer feared, they ensure we have a safe and secure society; Senator, we have been ensuring, without you, that the galaxy is stable. How dare you stride into these halls and complain about this body since you were elected?!
You, sir, are a lay-about... without a true job and just here to collect a paycheck from the Emperor. We look to better your sector, and you finally make your tri-annual appearance in these halls, sounding like Mical de Crion, of all people! Next thing I should expect is a marriage to Crin Star, where ever that psychotic, idiot is. You needn't worry about the Empire, or anyone else for that matter, shattering your image as you accuse, you do it yourself; and when you find that you aren't the celebrity you believe you are, you lash out at everyone around you and fling nonsensical and seditious accusations.
Oh, but I'm sure, as soon as your populace rebels against you, not the Empire... you, you will come crawling back to the "sickening" Empire. The same Empire you "serve" now; we only wish it was in an actually honorable fashion. Senators and Representatives of the Senate, Senator Ray is a walking example of why this bill must pass.

| Typical of Senator North, a man with no testicular fortitude at all, to open his mouth and proceed to do what he does best; spew out of his ass rather then his mouth. Senator, your words do not affect me one bit. You do not hold any power over me, and your words to me are nothing! Absolutely nothing! You Senator, need to worry about the planet that YOU were elected to do, and let ME worry about the planet I was elected to do! Any damage that comes from the Empire comes from men like you; whom are so quick to judge others while ignorant to the situation. If Alurion was so important to you Senator, then why not take action yourself? You seemed more content on the situation then I was. Behind closed doors Senator, I was monitoring the situation, but I was not about to send my Militia to Alurion. What would I have done for Dantooine had I done that? I would of left the planet defenseless. Yes we are small in numbers, but at least we could put on a fight that would give them a run for their money. Again Senator, you know nothing about me or my people. We are hard workers and very proud people, sure we do not have money spitting from our ears like you do, Senator, but at least we live a good life. Do not dare put me in a catagory as other Senators, because I am different. I have situations back home to deal with, and I have also dealt with sickness, much like to the effect of several Senators in this chamber. If, Senator North, you are so concerned with every little thing on Dantooine, then I believe that my office would have received numerous from you. But no, you do not care so do not sit here and proceed to act like you care Senator. Dantooine is going to make a bigger impact in this senate. So bring it on gentlemen.

| Senator Ray, the chair will not tolerate crude insinuations about a Senator's character. Infamous, Senator. Infamous. I've never seen such conduct in this chamber, and I will not see it again. You are called to order, Sir, and warned to cease these base assaults on Senator North or be suspended (or worse). I won't allow childish insults to undermine the dignity of this chamber, Senator Ray. I also demand a clarification of your remark; "I may be silenced, I may be removed, I may even be killed, but I do not care anymore." Who is it you're implying is going to "silence," "remove," or "kill" you? No Senator should welcome a comparison to the disgraced former Representative Crion, but your words sound perilously similar to his.

| Gentlebeings, gentlebeings, calm yourselves.
This issue is not about what Senator Ray's stance is on Alurion. It is not on Dantooine's feelings about the rebellion. It is, plain and simple. I will vote in favor of appointing a Moff to the Raioballo Sector. However, I will vote firmly against any granting of vessels or such so long as they are determined by this body. That is a matter for the military and not the Senate.
I will also vote heavily against Moff Levi or any members of the Tammuz Sector gaining further sectors. I believe this could create strife amongst the Moffs. If Moff Levi is given extra holdings, who will claim the next sector, and then the next? If we are to lower ourselves to deciding candidates and not allowing the militaristic portion to fall upon the military, then let that voting be a separate issue.

| You misunderstand my recommendation, Senator Ryuun. I am not giving a recommendation for Governor Ribaldequin or Moff Levi to hold concurrent positions within the Tammuz Sector, this is not even possible in the first place; I am recommending that they are transferred to the Raioballo Sector. Hence, I said these individuals should be transferred, not otherwise, in my written recommendations. I can provide a copy, if needed.

| I am not convinced a transfer is necessary, Senator Veritas. Moff Levi and his staff do quite well in the Tammuz Sector, and if they moved, we would need to fill another void instead. It is unseemly to start naming candidates. I am sure many of us here could favor one Moff or another. In truth, I have a Moff or two I would support, but it is far better to let the military handle who is fit to govern the sector.
