This allows all Twi'leks a new start, a fresh start away from the hellish conditions and corruption of their homeworld, away from archaic conditions and misery, into the modern era they may come, freely and without oppression, into a secular multi racial society!

I vote in favour of this progressive piece of legislation, and laud the Senator from Dantooine to allow a new homeworld to be founded for the Twi'leks in his system.

It is my belief that New Republic aid directly to Ryloth would be far better than relocating them. Such an act would break apart family units, not to mention insult their warrior side, more than likely. Despite the harsh portions of their homeworld, it has forged them into a stronger people.

As well, with Senator Forte's permission, Druckenwell may send aid in the form of ships to ensure that any slavers are captured and brought to justice, so that, with time, slavery will no longer be profitable on Ryloth.

I vote against this measure.

Forged into a stronger people be damned! You bandy such words about in such a pitiful way with no understanding of their meaning, how can you make romance of these atrocious circumstances? of this mass misery? Noone LIKES being "forged into a stronge people" noone enjoys untold millions of deaths from monsters and radiation.. cowering from every shadow for fear it is a slave ship!? How would you feel if it was you?

Even without slavers, it is still a nightmarish world, and why not give support to offering the people a way out, in a mutually profitable solution which allows them to rebuild a home on a more green and happy land, with few natural predators.

Mr Ryuun. Take a look at these two photos..

Would you rather live here..

Or here..

We now see how much love for his common beings Senator Ryuun has.. he would rather people be fleeing from Heat Storms, freezing to death, being pursued by ravenous creatures.. all in the name of "forging them into a strong warrior people" instead of giving them the chance to live in what is comparatively a paradise.

Furthermore, Senator, I would like to quote you from a prior statement you have made concerning Twi'leks and slavery:

"In order to maintain cultural diversity and recognize that different cultures have different accepted norms we must pass this act, and thus allow me to go and contract the 1,000 twi'leks of my choice without legal recourse. And they will be put into an idyllic life on my happy carniverous snail plantations on Dantooine."

I believe that was when you were proposing legalizing slavery.

Your words speak for themselves. I vote against.

The issue of slavery is irrelevant here. This bill does not allow for the legalisation of slavery! simply the rescue of poor innocent people. My personal views, while leaning towards a revisionist approach regarding indentured labour have little relevance on a motion to allow the Ryloth Rescue to take place.

However, I believe that any movement of Twi'leks, or for that matter, any beings from any planet, to a place under Dantooine's, which is to say your control, would be ill-advised. I would trust the measure if it were Senator vanden, or Senator fowlkes. I would even trust it if it were Senator cambrist, and that alone is saying a lot.

I simply do not believe you have any of their best interests in mind. Your legislation has far too many items where holes can be filled with vague promises. In effect, Senator Tiure, your proposal is too good to be true, at least on that surface, which leads me to believe something lurks beneath.
