Honoured Senator Ray, My heart truly does bleed at the suffering encountered by your people, I pray you good fortune and will instruct my subordinates to dispatch such aid as we are able to assist in the decontamination of your planet.
I urge the Chief of State to issue an arrest warrant for Dustil Sushere and all the co-conspirators at “Patriot”, who it seems have fallen in with the Galactic Empire in some morbid alliance.
While the damage is largely already done, we hope that with the best minds of the Republic driving this program, things will improve. We also believe perhaps full scans of the world should now be published, so the markets may be aware of the exact extent of agricultural damage and share values can react.
I congratulate heartily the people of Dantooine on sending the Imperials limping back to their space, pray tell, is there a quote on casualties as yet? Perhaps interrogating prisoners would be useful.
I am cautious about supporting deploying more men to Dantooine, as Senator Ray and others pointed out with reference to the recent affairs, redeploying New Republic forces elsewhere would impact the Security of the Core, can we imagine how much more severe an attack like this could have been on a densely populated agricultural world, such as a Neimoidian purse world! Even so, I do not oppose sending a force from the local battlegroup, atleast in the short term to give the New Republic some visibility, but don’t see it as an efficient use of men to keep them there permenantly.
I do feel though that perhaps some affordable defense solution should be researched, or if the Khoonda wishes to produce some pickets or other vessels to help defend it, we will be more than happy to produce them at cost-price.
Senator Kruus of Cato Neimoidia
