| Gentlemen,
The Cronese Mandate are becoming beyond a joke
Thus I propose this motion.
"This Senate calls upon and authorises the worlds of the Galactic Empire to launch a full blockade (comprising the stoppage and seizure all non essential goods and vessels inbound and outbound) of the capital world of the Cronese Mandate (Chandaar) until such a time as all Cronese forces are withdrawn from Caluula and the following statement is issued and made law in the Mandate or six months has expired.
'The Cronese Mandate commits never again to use its vessels beyond the borders of the Cronese Mandate. It recognises the elected Government of Caluula as legitimate and commits to pay full repatriation to the Caluulan people (a sum to be determined by the Governor of the Tion Hegemony). Furthermore the Cronese Mandate states its repentance for its ethnic policy and accepts guilt for the widespread misery it has brought on its neighbours by the pursuit of these policies'
The Cronese Government will learn they absolutely cannot launch these Imperialistic inroads into regions outside its purview, and it is clear that Robeir XXII understands only one language - that of force, thus making these actions the only possible route to bring a lasting peace to the Tion Cluster"
Senator Hubert Ordan

| There doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for this proposal, Senator Ordan. And its utility is in question since the apparent resolution of the Caluula dispute. Do you wish to proceed with this proposal on principle, Senator? Or shall we move on? If it has any bearing on your decision, be advised the Empire will be looking closely at the actions of the Cronese Mandate at Caluula to determine whether they violated the Ruling Council's prohibition on the use of force, as some witnesses have claimed.

| I am not certain a blockade is necessary. However, I do believe strict sanctions should be placed to severly limit the Mandate's movements. At least for the time being. Atrocities in Caluula is causing Robeir an itch to do something. Understandable, but for future references, his government should ask the Empire for permission since I am not confident the man can properly use his military.

| Risk thousands and thousands more innocent lives by enforcing a blockade because of the mistakes of one man? No. Have the innocent people not suffered enough under Robiers rule? I agree with Senator Fowlkes, perhaps a blockade is not entirely appropriate at this juncture.

| While I personally applaud Senator Ordan's proposal, I believe it to be in the best interest of Caluula to retain its own affairs, just as it is for the Cronese Mandate to ascertain its own level of involvement and fault, or lack thereof, in the Caluulan Massacres. As such, I will abstain from this vote.

| I am more inclined to agree with the wisdom coming from Senator Thanatos. Sluis Van is against this measure.

| The Cronese Mandate is better enforced with strict sanctions rather then wasting manpower on a blockade. Dantooine is against this.

| While Cronese fault, and violation of Ruling Council order, appears apparent in the now concluded crisis, I am curious as well, if Senator Ordan wishes to continue with the Cronese now beaten back across their borders by the Caluulan-Deralian force.

| Deralia, seeing first-hand the aggression of the Cronese, stands firmly In Favor of this legislation, and pledges to join the blockading forces, should such action be taken.

| Your Excellency,
Unless it is the wish of the Chair that I do otherwise, I wish for this proposal to remain in play as I believe a swift (but short) blockade of Chandaar would send a strong message to the Cronese.
Would the Chair prefer the implementation of a time frame for the protest?

| A time-frame would be desirable, if for no other reason than that the Cronese Mandate isn't known for its willingness to compromise and it is highly unlikely it will adopt the statement in this motion as law, particularly as it would hand a blank check from the Cronese Mandate to its traditional Tionese foes. I have no position on this, but it's hard not to see it as mischief at the Cronese Mandate's expense. At any rate, a multi-year or even multi-month blockade of Chandaar would eventually be draining to all of the Imperial worlds involved. However, if your concern is that the Mandate will escape consequences for its conduct at Caluula, I can assure you the Empire takes seriously what happened there and there will be repercussions, in all probability, once Imperial Intelligence has concluded its investigation.

| As the chair requests I have put a time limit on the motion of six months. This allows the motion to send a strong message without it being an indefinate license to blockade the Cronese Mandate.

| That's reasonable, Senator. So be it. Since there appear to be no additional votes, the measure passes in its amended form with 60% in favor and 30% opposed. Telos IV and Chandrila have apparently abstained from voting, despite having expressed objections to the proposal.
