An open letter, People of the Galaxy, and more specifically the Judges of the Court.
Day ago it was given as fact that the Defenses of Dantooine stood at '" a combination of the Starfighter wing on Dantooine from both the IMC and the New Republic... That is all the planetary defenses Dantooine has at the moment."'
A day later this was rephrased to ''It is no secret that we have planetary defense, but tell me, what does 1 Turbolaser (matter)' .
Finally the Chief of State clarified and it was revealed that the Senator from Dantooine had been misleading the Senate over his defenses, and yes, I do believe its very possible that on record the NRI has a full theoretical listing of the Dantooine defenses.
But we have recently granted Dantooine an incredibly large amount of money, to a world thats representative has (intentionally or unintentionally) mislead us all. As such, I do not find it unreasonable that this Committee should (in order to aid constructing its spending plan) go to Dantooine to verify the numbers of the defenses, equipment and such... to assess the state of repair of the Military of that world, and to see our tax dollars are not being siphoned away, as well as to monitor the re-equipping of Dantooine's militia we have all just paid for.
As such, this Committee is more than justified in going to Dantooine for the above reasons, and seeing that your money, our money, is being spent well, as well as to asses the credit value of the real estate on which such weapons are placed for accounting reasons.
