| Dear First Minister Cron
I noticed today that you were quick to wish to request the floor on my motion. I do trust that I have not caused some variety of slight to yourself. Although there have been differences between myself and previous Mandate Senators I'd really like to give this a fresh start. Just as I am keen to see an end to ethnic conflict across the region to avoid any more dreadful tragedies.
Might I ask then, if there is something specifically bothering you in my current legislation as proposed, and if there's any way I might change it to please you for the good of the cordial relations between our worlds. I spoke to Moff Winder regarding this proposal yesterday and he seemed in favour, and seemed to be willing to make concessions to permit the immigration of Cronese or any other human to the Ash Worlds if they come under his mandate to govern there.
I wish to propose motions such as these to encourage settlements of worlds everywhere, but I believe it is important that settlement should not constitute building "new Tionese worlds" or "new Cronese worlds" but just new Imperial worlds, where we can understand each other and work with each other as servants of the Empire instead of concentrating division.
I urge you to support this type of policy, of integration and Imperialization to sweep aside ethnic differences that threaten the peace and stability of the region.
Yours Sincerely,
Bernard Oriel
Senator for the Planet of Vjun

| Senator,
The reason behind my immediate request to be recognized is that while I can see where you are coming from with the proposal, and that you seek to further the Empire by creating new Imperial worlds and sweeping aside ethnic differences, it was greatly disturbing that you should single out the Auril Sector and the Tionese alone. Your indications of the few settlements in the Ash Worlds trading with the Auril Sector make it appear that they only trade with the Auril Sector, while that is incorrect. We know that the settlements of the Ash Worlds trade with not only the Auril Sector, but also the Cronese Mandate, the Tion Hegemony, the Calamari Sector, the Dominus Sector, the Jubilar Sector, the Tharin Sector, the Phelleem Sector and the Jospro Sector, so why should not one of those other Sectors be in the position to have the Ash Worlds be placed under the stewardship of their Imperial Governor of Moff.
Secondly, as one of the first acts as First Minister, I have come to see that the Ash Worlds Sector is much like the Chopani Sector, the difference however is that the Ash Worlds are devoid of life and population due to the bombardment by the Hutts thousands of years ago. The Cronese Mandate sees that it is not government that these worlds need first, it is citizens. How is a government to govern when all it has to govern are barren unsettled rocks. The Cronese Mandate has already given the Grand Vizier a diplomatic message stating the intention to settle worlds that have in the past been linked to the ancient Kingdom of Cron. I have opened diplomatic channels with my counterpart, the Autocrat of the Auril Sector, a Mr. Hector Cynum who has yet to respond.
If we are to believe that this act is to be fair, then in all fairness that act must not just favor the Auril Sector, it must in fact favor all of the neighboring Sectors by allowing an equal slice within the Ash Worlds, or it must be left to the Emperor himself to make the ultimate decision as to whom should governor his space in the Ash Worlds. I have grown tired of this constant conflict between the Tionese and the Cronese merely because we all come from the same region of space, the Tion Cluster. I fear however that your favoritism to the Auril Sector to governor fully over the Ash Worlds Sector will further the tension between the two peoples.
signed,
The Office of the First Minister
Chernobog Cron
First Minister of the Cronese Mandate
Duke of House Cron
Lord of Argai

| Mr Cynum is resting on his laurels I feel after his recent success with Lorrd. I am altogether convinced that he will be vastly more likely to remain so if there is no suggestion of his involvement in any of this so far as I am aware. I am aware though that if there were to overtures that could be considered Cronese incursions into space that is historically (by the recognition of all academic authorities) Tionese space.
I don't believe the Ash Worlders exclusively trade with any of it's neighbouring Sectors. It is a simple fact though that there is a historical tie between the Ash Worlds and the Auril Sector, indeed areas of the Cron Drift, the major astronomical phenomena in the region, span the border. In addition, it is undeniable that the majority of human settlements in the Ash Worlds are the remnants of the flourishing Tionese culture which existed in the region some thousands of years ago.
The ruler of the Auril Sector is Moff Winder not Hector Cynum, he is simply the leader of a mutual defense association between the worlds of the Sector, he has no civil power and is subordinate to the power of the Moff. I'm sure Moff Winder will be open to allowing Cronese people to settle within the region if it becomes a dependancy of his Moffdom, however, isolationist Cronese settlements and Colonialism ourside of your legally recognized mandate caused problems in the past and I fear that settling "colonies" in the Ash Worlds will only result in more violence.
I urge you, establish settlements alongside the Tionese and with their consent - I urge you, build settlements of Imperial Humans, not Cronese or Tionese partisans.
To put it politely, if I may, your Mandate has hundreds of uninhabited worlds does it not? How would you feel if Hector Cynum set out in a fleet to plant Tionese Colonies within your traditional space. If you wish to send settlers then do, but have them expect to treat all men as their brothers and not hide behind ethnicity or I fear we may see more lamentable trouble brewing. I simply ask you to consider if your actions could be perceived as hostile.
The Ash Worlds are not to be "Cut up" they are simply to be made dependent on the Auril Sector to provide something which is not there currently. Many Imperial laws require the approval of the Sector Moff for say, mining permits - there are too few people to justify appointing a Moff. Thus the proposal is that Moff Winder would take the Ash Worlds under his protection but appoint an de facto Sector Governor (a more junior Overseer) who will help implement inter-planetary cooperation between Imperial Garrisons and help coordinate resources and assure taxes are paid - to bring the efficient system of Imperial Justice they have elsewhere.
Further, may I remind you that the Auril Sector is an Imperial Moffdom, not a Tionese state; it is ruled by a career officer from a prestigious Core family who has prevented any ethnic violence at all occurring in his space. I am confident that he will apply a policy of Imperial and Human interests being first; not any specific ethnic group. He has expressed to me his exhaustion with the Tion-Cron conflicts and his wish to take any measures to ameliorate the long term bad blood.
I should add that my motion does not profit the Auril Sector in any way, in fact taking on the patrol duty for such a large volume of space is likely to be costly - but it does profit the people of the Ash Worlds by bringing them properly into the protection and order provided by Imperial rule.
