Senator Kruus has slammed the conservatives of the chamber for the past few weeks on their expressed want of continued strong defense, and yet here he is, screaming for strong defense to remain. He calls for demilitarization and disarmament, and strictly expects all to follow the Peace At Any Cost policy, as does Senator Cambrist, and Chief of State Gavrisom...and yet when it comes to their own worlds, or in Cambrist and Gavricom's case their allies, suddenly they do a complete reversal of their policies and beliefs. And as my office was made aware just hours ago began the process of purchase for a Morgan-class Destroyer by Rendili StarDrive. While length wise, it wouldn't be effected by this bill, it's high amount of weaponry puts it in a grey area, that I would almost say Senator Vanden would intend such a vessel (As it could be considered a Missle Destroyer, almost) to be banned. It's no wonder you wish to oppose this bill, and Chief Gavrisom is going against his trademark policy to protect his allies. This is a disgusting act of hypocricy I've ever seen since joining the Senate.

While my principles in believing in planetary rights state I vote against this bill, proof that too many worlds are misusing their capital ships in Imperialistic ventures far beyond their bounds, or declared intentions in this debate for that matter, pushes my moral values to support a vote for this bill. Due to inner conflict, unless the arguement for or against clears up, I abstain from the vote.

Tremaine Fowlkes,
Senator of Mowgle

I have had a question from the Senator from Calamari when this will apply, and it will apply from the end of todays session (5pm Coruscant time), as with all legislation.
