| Alien Protection Zones Act
Written by Senator Robert North of Imperial Center
The galaxy is filled with diverse species, and a diverse amount of worlds. However, some worlds are incompatable to certain species, and in the days of the Republic, they would be left to fend for themselves, and usually die. A perfect example of this are the people of Shadda-Bi-Boran; and the Empire has vowed to not allow this to occur once more. Over the earlier months of the year, the Emperor and the Ruling Council initiated an effort on Imperial Center to relocate non-Humans into areas which resemble the climate of their homeworlds, either naturally or through modification. These informal neighborhoods have become thriving centers of alien culture, with unique architecture aiding in the species in quest to feel at home, and even includes statues to celebrate notable individuals of these species in their neighborhoods.
This act, provides funding to complete and solidify this program. It will ensure that all species needing this aide are given such. It also provides funding to ensure these neighborhoods are patrolled by the troops of the Imperial Center Sector Army, Coruscant Security Force, assigned Stormtroopers, and all other relevant entities. This also makes it a crime for an unauthorized individual to penetrate the neighborhood, to ensure peace and security reigns supreme in these enclaves.
The Honorable R.C.W. North
Senator of Imperial Center
Chairman of the Internal Activities Committee Mayor of the Galactic/Imperial City (22 BBY-18 BBY)

| This is very reasonable, Senator. It is more of a crime to force aliens to live in areas where they may well become sick and perish, as well as cause other species harm through incompatibility. Druckenwell is in favor.

| Senator North, as noble of a cause that this seems to be, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me? This is just to aide those of other species in need, correct? Not force them to be contained to one place as he military sees fit because they are non-humans?

| Senator, where in the galaxy would you get the idea that this legislation is anything but to aide those in suffering? I may have a low, personal view of these people, but they are still in need, and still Imperial citizens; and because of that, I will help them. This legislation is written to protect those who can not protect themselves, both from those who would be radical enough to attempt to actually force these species off the melting pot of Imperial Center, or attempt to kill them, and from their own bodies.
Tell me, Senator Thanatos, if you see a fish out of water, do you put it back in the water to help it, or just because a fish needs to stay in the water because it is not a land creature? For this is the same line of logic posed to myself by you. I find it disrespectful, irresponsible, and heartless to assume a piece of legislation has some ulterior motive due to my personal beliefs. I find it horrendous that one might actually debate the intent and reasoning of this legislation while countless Imperial citizens are out there, suffering. Perhaps I am not this cold-hearted, monstrosity that the opposition has made me out to be... perhaps it is the opposition itself that is such?

| If I see a fish out of water i'd probably cook it and eat it (unless it was from Eriadu's seas.. they say its best not to eat those). But i've seen how these Alien Protection Zones work here and I vote in favor of them. We have pretty much the same thing in Eriadu City except its not about "protection".. we just dont want aliens getting us sick or driving down our real estate prices.

| Well I apologize if I have offended with my question, Senator North, but yes, that is exactly what I was concerned about....your personal beliefs. I do, however, have a markedly larger amount of respect for you for proposing this based on these beliefs. Chandrila will vote in favor.

| I want to know more before I vote, and I propose the vote be suspended until Senator North puts together a tour of the Alien Protection Zone that has become known here as the "Invisible Sector," or "Invisec." He says the conditions for the people of this area are safe and sanitary. I don't doubt his word, but I've heard rumors to the contrary, rumors that should be put to rest before this measure proceeds.

| Garos IV votes against this act. I do not even know if I want to explain why to this chamber but I will attempt to. I have spoken with the elders of my planet and we have seen this before. We have seen a group of people, who are different than ourselves be forced to identify themselves as being so, than they are rounded up and placed in a location that will be safer for them, only to later exterminate them when the need or want arose. I am sorry but I cannot in good conscious vote in favor of an act that could be proposed for the wrong reasons completely and could potentially wipe out a whole species.

| Senator Cerra, could you care to elaborate? Other than perhaps the Mandalorians at certain points in history, and the vague Pious Dea period of the Republic, do I recall any sort of events remotely close to what you accuse this being. More so, where in this legislation do you get that this is an attempt to exterminate non-Humans on Imperial Center? Did you even read this legislation?
These people are suffering, and Moff Brandt and myself are doing something about it... we are protecting these people from their biological weaknesses and from individuals wishing to harm them. We are attempting to make Imperial Center a place where all species can come, to live, work, or visit, without threat from internal or external forces. From this effort, to better Imperial Center and the lives of millions of Imperial citizens, where do you get the belief that the Empire intends to commit genocide? What act sets this precedent of thought? To be frank, I am tired of countless baseless attacks, filled with horrid accusations and blatant lies about this government. This trend has descended upon the Senate like a plague over these past weeks, and it has become outright offensive and seditious. The Empire has never murdered innocent civilians, the Empire has never committed genocide, the Empire has never bombed civilian targets from orbit; nor has it done any of the other unimaginable crimes that it has been accused of lately. Senators, do you not realize that you are Imperial citizens, that you are a part of the Imperial government? Do you not think these would be events that you would be readily knowledgeably about, instead of something that is whispered by conspiracy theorists?
A vote against this bill, is a vote to allow the continued suffering of countless Imperial citizens, who are forced to live outside of their natural environment and suffer for it, to be subjected to prejudice and abuse. I have introduced this legislation to stop both. So I ask, who is it, who is acting in true good conscience? Not to drag another debate into this debate, but Governor Oswaldt and myself have both been accused of being unethical individuals. However, Johannes is supporting this legislation. I have written this legislation. Who is it that is truly acting ethical here? If you do not like the Empire, then leave it, and please let the door hit you on the way out.
Senator Fitzgerald, I will speak with Moff Brandt about organizing a Senate tour of the alien protection zones, although I am unaware of a place called "the invisible sector". If there is a specific area you wish to tour, please let me... and clarify this "invisible sector" rumor, if you could.

| If we delayed the people's business for every rumor, we'd never get anything done. This world's Alien Protection Zones are a sterling program (by all impartial accounts) and I vote in favor of providing the requisite funding to support them. I also join in Senator North's weary indignation at the latest genuinely disgusting claims that have been made about the motives of the Empire and its armed forces, this time from Senator Cerra. I don't consider myself a partisan of either side of the political spectrum, but truly, I grow tired of these wild insinuations about the Empire, utterly without any basis in fact. I hope the so called "anti-Imperialists" are aware that this sort of conduct is demeaning and damaging to their cause. Governor Oswaldt spoke of pettiness; truly, the pettiness of someone who slanders the Empire with claims of genocide simply because they disagree with it is dumbfounding. It's also thoroughly unacceptable, and I hope that the chair (or, should it pass, the new Ethics Committee in its "fact checking" role) stands up to this sort of extremist bullying of the Empire's good name.

| Senator Cerra, you are cautioned against making such unsubstantiated and frankly shocking allegations. This Crionist tendency in this chamber will not be tolerated, Senators. Now, if there are no further comments, the vote is closed and the measure passes with 83% in favor and 17% opposed. Thank you, Senator North, for helping to advance His Majesty's agenda in this Senate.
