WHEREAS, Force-sensitive individuals possess extraordinary abilities and the potential to do catastrophic harm to the public, to persons, and property, and

WHEREAS, the Jedi and Sith Orders, and former and dissident members thereof, are proficient in the application of these abilities for the purposes aforestated, and

WHEREAS, these abilities have, in the past, been so applied as aforestated, by the individuals aforestated, in a nefarious and clandestine manner, and

WHEREAS, the manner aforestated, and the extraordinary abilities of the individuals aforestated, often confound the attempts of law enforcement to protect the public, and persons, and property, from catastrophic harm,

THEREFORE, Force-sensitive individuals of the Jedi and Sith Orders, and former and dissident members thereof, and other individuals with the abilities so described, are hereby discouraged from visiting, vacationing, or otherwise residing on the sovereign and beneficent world of Eriadu and, should they do so, shall be regarded as "persons of interest" by judicial forces and shall be subject to questioning, to searches of the individual's person and effects, and to detention or deportation, for the purposes of

1.) preventing catastrophic harm to the public, to persons, or property,
2.) preventing harm to the individual in question, or
3.) otherwise preventing disunion or disorder on Eriadu,

by the decree of His Renown, the Most Beneficent Governor Johannes Bates Oswaldt of Eriadu, on the twenty third of Elona, 20 ABY, with the advice and consent of the Eriadu Legislature and the House of Egalitry.

President Gavrisom, this cannot be legal, surely? It is unapologetic discrimination.

I could not agree more with Senator Vanden's concern. Such a 'decree' is appalling.

Having taken legal advice, I believe this Decree to be rather Repugnant, and dis-approve of it intensely. I believe it might be against the rights of sentience, and as such if any force user wishes to challenge this in the relevant Federal Court I am told they might well have a strong case.

However, this is a matter for the Lawyers and Judges to argue out, and not one for the Federal Government to intervene in... It is the role of the courts to judge if this decree is legal or illegal, not the legislature or government.


Ponc Gavrisom
Chief of State

I'll tell you what's "appalling"—someone with the ability to kill an innocent man, woman, or child a dozen different ways using only their mind. It's appalling that the Force, if it exists, is used as a weapon of mass destruction by the Sith and yes, the Jedi. It's appalling when they live on the same street, or the same city, or the same planet. So yes, it is "unapologetic discrimination." It's discrimination in favor of the right of the people of Eriadu to live without fear of these freaks. It's my job to keep the people safe, and that's what this decree does.

Any planet that gives a damn about its citizens should have this law on its books.

Someone needs to be the first person to stand up to the Jedi, or Sith, or whatever they call themselves. If that person is me, then so be it. But I know for a fact that there are many Senators who agree with me, and they're cowards if they don't say so.


Johannes Oswaldt
Senator and Governor of Eriadu

Very well. I accept the Governor's challenge and I do agree with the most of the wording of this decree, which will come as no surprise, I'm sure, to many of my colleagues because Governor Oswaldt is not, in fact, "the first person to stand up to the Jedi"—I have done so for a decade, as have other Senators such as Borsk Fey'lya.

So yes, I do agree with the intent of this decree and much of its reasoning. Whether or not it is right for Brentaal is a matter that the planet's ruling houses will decide in the coming weeks.
