| I propose the following motion to the Galactic Senate in order to swiftly end the conflict on the Twin Worlds and open negotiations. The Senate is proposed to adopt the following motion.
The New Republic Senate requests and requires both sides in the Twin Worlds conflict cease fire within 24 hours. It requires both sides to cease military manouvering and withdraw to barracks or defensive lines. This must not be used to launch a "suprise attack" and each side covenants to give 4 hours notice if they plan to renew hostilities. If the ceasefire is broken, an interstellar peace keeping force shall be assembled to establish the ceasefire again. The cease fire is conditional upon the "Rebel" Government sending an envoy to the Frigate Deliverance (transport to be provided by the New Republic if required) and the opening of three-party talks in order to discuss a resolution to the conflict that will not result in deaths. An exclusion zone will be established around Talus and Tralus, extending two light minutes radius from each world's gravity well. This will be the area inside which Corellian ships of war will not be permitted, enforcement of this will be down to the fighters aboard Benevolent. Once both parties have aired their greviences to the New Republic Special Envoy, the Senate will discuss a more permenant resolution to the conflict. In the mean time, the ceasefire will remain in force indefinately. Any breaches of the ceasefire, or military actions contrary to this resolution will result in the final settlement being reflective of the cooperation of the relevant parties.

| Neimoidia adds its voice in support of this motion. It also deplores the violence on both sides. This conflict has the potential to spread out into the many worlds in the Corellian Sector, the Corellian shipping lanes are even now not being policed adequately because Corellia is busy subjugating its domains. Five hundred years of conflict have established military action is not the way forward, peace must be made.

| I thank the Chief of State for hearing my suggestions and incorporating them into the resolution. I vote in favor not because I am taking one side or another (as Senator Kruus evidently is), but because I am taking neither side as, I think, President Gavrisom has also endeavoured to do. I understand, as Senator Karath has said, that it seems that the Talus and Tralus separatists have instigated this latest round of fighting; nonetheless, I hope that the Senator will welcome this measure as an alternative approach to a problem that is five hundred years old. Clearly, the current approach—that is, violence—has been tried, and failed. There can be no military solution, only a political one. As for the Special Envoy that the Chief of State alludes to in the resolution, may I make a suggestion?

| King Mercutio of my world, Naboo, is a man of even temperament who has been described as an able mediator and peace maker in his dealings with Gungan tribes. He is not a politician, and has no vested interest in either side of this crisis, but rather a vested interest in peace. He would be an ideal candidate for the position, in my opinion, and he has assured me that he is willing to travel to the Corellian System and assume the responsibility (that is, assuming this resolution is passed).

| I volunteer the use of Dantooines Patriot Militia should neutral soldiers be needed to help as part of a peacekeeping force. I also vote in favour of the motion.

| I thank the Senate for its concern, but I again emphasize that this is a Corellian affair...not a Republic affair. It is our right through sovereignty to govern our system, and if a rebel force will commit a cowardly terrorist attack resulting in the loss of thousands, Corellia has the right to defend itself and respond. While we appreciate attempts at peace, might I beg the congress to listen to my repeated words. Negotiation and diplomacy has been tried...it has done nothing, if anything led to this situation. This also has not been the climate throughout these years. We have had a, although tense, decent relationship with the Seperatist movement of the Doubel Worlds. The only violence has truely was over five hundred years ago, and two years ago, when it effectivly was part of the Sacorrian Triad forces in the Insurrection. We have attempted a unification, and it appears the last hold outs are attempting to take control. Unfortunatly, we must resort to fighting and killing of our brothers, but it is what must be done. Corellia will agree with the resolution, only if it is given a timeframe of one month to bring an end to the fighting.

| Allow me to quote the Galactic Encyclopedia entry on the Twin Worlds "In 500 BBY, the Federation of the Double Worlds was founded—the government of Talus and Tralus. The Federation capital is Dearic on Talus. In 470 BBY Corellia, Selonia, and Drall allied in an attempted takeover of the Federation, but failed. The Federation was allowed a certain degree of autonomy under Imperial rule." A different picture from yours? And a Month?? So you can grind every man woman and child on the twin worlds beneath your vehicles treads?? This is a truly ridiculous timeframe intended only for Corellia to butcher people.

| The past few years have been turbulent for my people, and our region. Like I said, after the conclusion of the Insurrection, which was against the Republic itself and led by those that now compose this rebel force, we attempted a reunification. Aside from these forces, the effort was going well. Now we have a group, that wishes to seceed the entire Corellian Sector from the Republic...and it seems the Republic is all the willing to allow them to come to power, some within this body demonizing Corellia. I wonder which side in the greater picture members of this Senate are on...and if select members know what the hell planetary rights are, let alone what the Common Charter reads. Now, aside from those issues...the Corellian Government has reconsidered, and will accept the Resolution, and will currently act only in defensive operations. Should the rebel forces not also agree to talks however, offensive operations will begin and we will seek the defeat of these Seperatists. Also, the Corellian Government is begining a referendum on whether or not the citizens of Talus and Tralus wish to remain in the Corellian unification or allow the rebels to govern.

| 1) Corellia will not advance its cause or prevent itself being "demonised" by acting hypocritically. If Corellia did ballot to secede.. does then the New Republic have the right to send in a fleet and brutally subjugate the corellian people in order to return it to the fold? You sir are a hypocrit. 2) Planetary rights should apply to your planet, not nessesarily for you to control the Corellian Empire. 3) I am glad to see Corellia will accept this resolution. 4) The referendum must be independant from Corellian operation and must be held by a third party. It should set out a selection of options which will give the best result for the Twin Worlders, not a simple yes no ballot, which will only serve to polarise the community. Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo *he crunched on a fried calibop leg*

| Normally, I am for government involvement...big government, if you will. This is a situation however something I believe the Administration has carelessly had a knee-jark reaction to. The complications of years of tension, not to mention already astounding distinctiveness to the Corellian society, culture, etc., nor any heed to Corellia's own judgement or reports, has left me to almost believe this is a personal stab towards Senator Karath himself due to his disagreement with the Administration policy in some cases. I'm afraid on the behalf of questionable tactics, and sudden intrusion into a unique situation of which we have little understanding...leaves me to, interestingly even to myself, to vote Against this Resolution...at this time. After taking some time to observe and bring into account ALL factors, not just some or what everything immediatly appears to be, is only when we would be able to take such actions. Once those factors have been seen and weighed...and thought has been put into our actions, not impulse...would I vote for this Resolution. I ask delegates yet to vote, and those that have given their vote to change their vote, to vote against this Resolution citing my points.

| Yes, I am sure calling a cease-fire and for urgent diplomatic talks is a knee-jerk reaction to end a conflict that has caused already thousands of deaths, silly me. Of course, I jest.

| We have rights to self-governance, Senator Tiure...and by the Force we will exercise them,and we will defend them. If I were to give Articles of Secession right now, would the Republic not take action to bring us back the fold? I believe so, so is a hypocrit in that train of thought? We have not acting hypocritically, and we sure as hell have not subjugated anyone. We have attempted peaceful unification of the Corellian System... half a century ago, a group of people disagreed with the main government, and their stubborness and arrogance did not allow them to listen to reason or reform. And Corellia will issue the referendum itself, because it's the governing body here and it is within our planetary rights to do so, Tiure. Perhaps the Senator needs to take lessons from one of the fine Universities on Coruscant in the matter of the Common Charter? And I will give the Hutt and Senator Kruus a final warning on the matter, speak of Corellia's actions accuratly, or a Libel case will be on your hands.
