Clearly someone is unaware of my reforms.

Clearly someone has forgotten that New Mandalorians sold even there own people out into slavery for the sake of peace.

I find it disturbing that a Dar'Manda such as yourself would want to limit our people's economic opportunities because we are supposedly "Market" illiterate. Which isn't true. So I guess the cure for ignorance is to isolate people from opportunity completely.

The New Mandalorians of Kalevala know why we "oppose" them. It has nothing to do with the fact that they promote peace and toleration. Toleration is one of our tenets as well. They know, just as we know, that we True Mandalorians freed the sector from slavery and crime. As they sat back and let the empire turn their own people to slaves we stood up and said, "NO!"

We said no with our voices, we said no with our blaster, while all the Pacifists sat back and watched. We said no to the Empire even further. Fighting them alongside your honorable forces to bring freedom to ALL galactic citizens. The New Mandalorians just sat and soak up the glory like fat slugs.

As usual, even though we promote commerce through out this portion of the outer rim, even though most of our population can speak on average 4-5 different languages, even though we have enhanced our farming techniques to be commercial viable and while maintain quality and sustainability, even though we've set up academies through out the galaxy that teach not only our rich and vibrant culture but bring together a practical academia that helps citizens and developing worlds of the Outer Rim access the greater galactic market, even though we ENSURE Peace by making sure Pirate activities are in this portion of the galaxy is at a minimum so that commerce can reign, even though we do this not only for ourselves but for many many other planets, even though we promote sensible peace treaties with honest governments and place a priority on fairness, even though we do all this so that our children may grow more prosperous then us, we are still treated as nothing more then obtuse pieces of garbage.

This is why I hate Dar'Manda pacifists. All of them squawk about peace. But when the going gets tough they don't hesitate to let someone else do the job and then proceed to claim all the credit after words.

For a supposed talk about commerce, this turned more into a hate filled letter, it certainly proves the merit of the Republic's toleration rhetoric... Spast.

Mr. Bralor,

You, Sir, are a hypocrite. The people of Kalevala have never condoned slavery. You do condone slavery, and you've practiced it on Mandalore for decades. Surely you do not expect to be taken seriously on this matter. To bemoan Kalevalans on this issue, in your letter, is an insult to the intellect of all who read it.

With regard to the boycott that I have proposed—it is not because you are "market illiterate," it is because you are attempting to establish the Old Mandalorians as the political and cultural hegemon of the Mandalore Sector and, in so doing, you are threatening the planet Kalevala, its people, and its society. In my remarks, I postulated a reason for this; that the Old Mandalorians are incompetent in matters of peace and, thus, you perpetuate war. War becomes necessary to flee from the moral ambiguities that are entangled with peace, which true men must confront and resolve.

The New Republic is grateful for the assistance of your people during the war, just as we would expect you should be grateful for our assistance during Mandalore's fight for independence. But the Republic and, I daresay, the galaxy has made a determination that there has been enough war, and that this is a time for peace. But still the Old Mandalorians insist on war, and I consider this a vindication of my remarks.

Do not condemn the New Mandalorians of Kalevala for refusing to fight the Empire, and thus refusing to demean itself to the level of its enemy. The Old Mandalorians played the Empire's game and won—now, you have become like them; a "Mandalorian Empire," under whose rule slavery still exists on the planet Mandalore. Meanwhile, Kalevala is a place of peace and prosperity, where all individuals are free, are valued as individuals, and can realize their potential. This is the society that you confess to "hate." Again, I believe my remarks are vindicated.

You will forgive me, Mr. Bralor, for doubting that Old Mandalorians speak an "average" of 4 or 5 languages. This would mean, statistically, that for every individual who speaks only one language, there is an individual who speaks ten. This seems unlikely. Nonetheless, I am willing to concede that that your reforms have made things better for the Old Mandalorians and, in some respects, for the Sector. Piracy has indeed been reduced—for now—but a long-term, comprehensive solution to this problem will require cooperation among planets, including Kalevala, not simply Mandalore using force in a fleeting and imperious fashion.

The other reforms, which are social in nature, are a beginning. However, what are truly necessary are reforms which will potty train your people to live harmoniously, in peace, as one world and one culture among many. And, of course, to abolish slavery (an Imperial custom that Old Mandalorians have embraced). Only then will you be known as "Mandalore the Reformer."

Good day, Sir.

And neither did I say they did. Clearly you are ignorant of the politics of Mandalore yet you assume much.

I see no old Mandalorians here only True Mandalorians. None of which are incompetent in matters of peace. We understand peace is hard earned and not something to be taken lightly. But when a situation calls for war the same can be said of peace. Peace becomes necessary to flee from the moral ambiguities that are entangled with war, which true sentience must confront and resolve.

An interesting way for the Republic to show it by insulting the very people that risked their lives for them with lies and talks of boycotts. Only Leia and her rebel forces helped us.

I do and I will. Do not condemn the actions of True Mandalorians for being weary of the Empire and hateful of it. You have not experienced slavery first hand. I've watched my people personally be taken away from us. Beaten and killed. All because the New Mandalorians running our government at the time didn't want to fight. Some of them were Kalevala by birth. Instead, to offset our severe poverty they sold their people into slavery legalizing it on this planet. The Empire had a hand at this of course. Which is why we have punished the Imperials guilty of war crimes by way of hard labor. I think "intellectuals" such as yourself can appreciate punishment of convicted criminals. But alas Dar'mandas such as yourself know nothing and speculate everything. I understand fully though that not all Kalevalians are to blame for this but their ideals certainly didn't help at the time. They were very much profiting off of our misery.

Kalevala itself is a land of toxic desert. Prosperity is bleak. It's hard for individuals to realize their potential in such an environment. All individuals on mandalore are free as well unless they are convicted of a crime. Every Mandalorian is valued for their skill. We just make sure to value our troops as well. Instead of tossing them aside when they become obtuse.

And this is why I'm pushing for greater education through the outer rim. This is why I've opened up previously unknown trade routes to the galaxy at large. We believe firmly in sharing our culture and learning from others. This is why I'm going to be spearheading some education agreements with Garos. We want to teach the outer rim how to better defend themselves that's why we have an academy on Vaal. We are fostering cooperation among the planets out here and even teaching our own ways to others so that they can become more independent and more able to sustain themselves. I sense that you want to down play our contribution so that planets rely on Imperial or Republic fleets instead of Mandalore because of your own ignorant Dar'Manda prejudices.

You mean to say pacify us so that we must rely on the Republic for protection and economic assistance or perhaps exclusively Brentaal. Hence the Boycotts. Hence the unnecessary hostility to True Mandalorians. All in an attempt to weaken an independent government so that it can be open to economic rape and whoring. Since of course (no offense to the New Mandalorians) Kalvevala would love to peacefully take it from Cambrist.

I'm already consider Mandalore the Reformer by my people thank you.

May your days be as long and as substantial as your longwinded words. Though I doubt you will have that long.

Zuthus Bralor

Mr. Bralor,

I have very little interest in continuing this discourse with you. I am an important man with things to do, and surely even you can appreciate that there are more productive uses of my time than to debate with you the merits of Old Mandalorian primitivism or, rather, the lack thereof. I am also reluctant to allow you the publicity of having your name associated with mine. However, I will deign to refute the points you've raised in the hope that, with all due respect, I will not have the misfortune of speaking with you again.

To say that peace is "hard won" is not an appreciation of peace. That, too, is an appreciation of war. There is very little moral ambiguity in war, Mr. Bralor—it is, in sophisticated cultures, the absense of moral ambiguity; we do not wage war frivolously, as you do, but rather in defense of interests or principles that we regard as worth fighting for. War is committing one's life to a cause. There is no ambiguity here. It is, rather, in peace that these things are called into question, as one must decide which causes, which interests, which principles are worth committing one's life to. This requires introspection, something that Old Mandalorians are incapable of.

This is why I have postulated that your people perpetuate war, and are inadequate in peace. The Old Mandalorians flee like cowards from the moral ambiguity of peace in favor of the moral certitude of war. This is why all of the so called art and literature of Mandalore are celebrations of certainty; of a quaint, primitive certainty that no longer exists in the galaxy, and has not existed for thousands of years.

Mr. Bralor, I do not demand your gratitude for the commitment that the Rebel Alliance made to assist Mandalore, because to treat someone with respect, as an equal, is to judge them on their deeds now, not only on their deeds of the past. This is what I am doing in my remarks, and what you refuse to do for the Imperial Remnant and, clearly, for Kalevala. However, since the Old Mandalorians live solely in the past, I can see why you would not understand this concept.

I do not wish to downplay the "contributions" you have made. I merely recognize them, also, for what they are—attempts to establish the Old Mandalorians, imperiously, as the political and cultural hegemon of the Mandalore Sector and, possibly, of the Outer Rim. The people of Kalevala live in peace and prosperity; they have not asked for your "help," and it is you who are compelling them to rely on the New Republic to defend them from you.

Thus, I won't bother to point out the hypocrisy of accusing me of "weakening an independent government," referring to Mandalore. I have no interest in how you govern Mandalore, Mr. Bralor. It is your insistence on claiming hegemony over the independent world of Kalevala that is of concern to me, as someone who believes in the rights of all independent worlds to be strong, autonomous, and free. These are values that, clearly, you do not believe in. You are an "Empire," afterall.

I will close on two points; 1.) death threats do not frighten me—you are not the first and nor will you be the last to threaten my life. However, in doing so, you have demonstrated to my satisfaction the limits of your ability to refute, persuasively, the points that I have made. Once more, I am vindicated; 2.) if the word "dar'manda" refers to someone who has no place in Mandalorian heaven, I will take this as a compliment. To spend eternity with the likes of each other would be hell for us both.

I said good day.
