| Not until I know what his views on slavery are now. With slavery being the principal industry of his homeworld and having participated in the slave trade himself I assume he has views on slavery, and he's refusing to tell us what they are. Until he does, I'm not willing to give him "the benefit of the doubt."

| I'll agree with you on that slavery is wrong, Senator. It was outlawed during the Old Republic. At least it was on most planet's where the republic existed. Uh.. Mrash is it? I for one would thank you kindly if you gave us your views on slavery.

| Naboo would also like some assurance that your support of slavery is behind you, Mrash. Whether or not it is true that the Old Republic's economic neglect of Trandosha compelled its people to embrace the slave trade, there is no doubt (as you said a moment ago) that Trandosha has prospered under the Empire and presumably, if it is interested in repudiating slavery, now would be the time to do so? Is this something you intend to do as Senator?

| Senator-Elect Mrash... I feel that the callous way you speak of people you've 'sold' turns me away from you. The name of Juren Domon should not be one you easily forget, as I have not easily forgotten the kidnap and sale of my uncle. I question the wisdom of electing a former slaver to the Senate; indeed, I would question the election of a Trandoshan bounty hunter to the Senate, but even that would be preferable to this... gentlebeing.
Senators, I cannot in good conscience, for personal and professional reasons, vote this man into office.
Toben Domon
Senator, Sluis Van

| While I may no longer view or support Slavery in any light, I can not assure you that all of Trandosha will support my same view on it. As I have said, on Trandosha there are only two choices to survive, bounty hunting or slaver, there is no in between for many of the people. I myself was lucky enough to gain enough credits and power to raise myself to this station, yet there is not enough of a strong economy on Trandosha to help others achieve higher than the two jobs that are forced upon the Trandoshan people. As for Juren Domon, I can say for this, he was not kidnapped so much as sold to me by his family first.
But as Senator Fon has said, that job is behind me now, and as I've said, I have no view in supporting slavery, yet it would mean my life if I tried anything to prevent the people of Trandosha from continuing as such, just as my predecessor tried, would mean that my successor would be eating my gizzard."

| Lies, Senator-Elect, lies. I assure you that Sluis Van will be conducting a very thorough investigation into your sale of Juren Domon. I can assure you that no member of my family would sell one another, especially not one as aged as he was and with nothing to gain. He was a song-writer, Mrash, not a politician. While you may not have the means or gizzard or stones to curtail the slaving operations; if you lack the willingness to place your life on the line for the greater good of the galaxy and freedom, then perhaps Sluis Van will have to assist in force if necessary. We will not go easy on any slavers we find in our territory.

| I believe that those are threats my good Senator Domon, and I can assure you that any action taken by Sluis Van that is violent or hostile to any of the Trandoshan species, or to our relative species the Saurin, will be met with proper actions in return. I would also suggest to the Senator of Sluis Van that he choose his words careful, Trandoshans are not enjoyable when threatened with false words.

| Trandoshans are noted for being quick to anger and even quick to act without thought of consequences, Senator-Elect. An investigation is hardly a threat, it is to bring to light what manner of unsavory actions certain beings in this galaxy may wish to hide while they aspire to positions of greater power for their own benefit.
I make no threats towards Trandoshans, only towards slavers plying an illegal trade that does not conform with the Empire's policy regarding such. If you walk in my front door, so to speak, with the intent to rob and steal, you can hardly expect me not to react accordingly and defend my home. I am sure that slavers of any species will no doubt ply their foul trade, but those that ply it near Sluis Van do so at their own risk.
I do not threaten with false words, I make promises. Sluissi may be slow in some actions, and lovers of art, but do not doubt the wrath of an angered Sluissi.

Senator, Sluis Van

| Quote (Mrash) on Trandosha there are only two choices to survive, bounty hunting or slaver, there is no in between for many of the people.
And there won't be any alternatives until Trandosha's leaders stand up and say no, slavery is wrong and Trandosha will have no part in it. Until you do, your tacit acceptance of this economic dichotomy is dooming your own people to a form of slavery, too. The fact that Mrash isn't telling us is that there's a culture of slavery on Trandosha that he is here to represent in the Senate. That's why he won't answer the question I asked him; as Senator, will he pursue an agenda of support for the slave trade? No answer. Does he oppose my resolution against the slave trade? No answer. A statement like "while I may no longer support slavery," in a personal sense, means nothing if he intends to support it here in the Senate.
I will not welcome any Senator to this body who is at odds with life and liberty. At the least, I move this application be put on hold until Sluis Van concludes its investigation into Mrash's unscrupulous past.

| Garos IV must agree with the Senator from Ralltiir. Garos seconds the motion to put this application on hold until the investigation into Mrash's past is completed.

| Come, Senator-Elect. Give us all a straight answer. It is needed to be a senator within this fine body.
Until you give us a clean, straight answer, I also remove my vote, leaving me blank as to your acceptance status.

| I have already given you a straight answer Senator Youngblood. I have stated that while I no longer support the act of slavery, for having been able to find a different job placement for myself, can not openly speak for all other Trandoshans whom are stuck with choosing between feeding their families through the act of slavery, or death. I can proclaim the act of slavery on Trandosha as outlawed all I want, it will not change the fact that there will still be Trandoshans that will engage in the act due to it being one of only two job placements openly available to the Trandosha people.
I may also remind the Senator of Sluis Van that the laws and any accusations or legal actions brought up in the Sluis Van courts are not recognized by the courts and laws of Trandosha, as well as the fact that any and all information of a Trandoshans background are closely guarded with in the hall of records on Trandosha, of which only a handful of Trandoshans are privy to the information held with in, as no outsiders are allowed access to the hall of records.

| I would remark to the Senator-Elect of Trandosha that should he wish to be welcomed in the Senate, it might go a long way towards paving his path if he made certain records available to the people of the Senate, albeit in closed session. I have no wish to embarrass you in front of the galaxy, Senator, but I will have truth. Whether or not accusations or legal actions Sluis Van makes are recognized by Trandosha, they are certainly recognized by the Senate and the Empire. Tread carefully, Senator-Elect. I'd hate to see another Trandoshan take your position; perhaps one who could have been more forthcoming from the start.

| Indeed you did Senator-Elect. You may not support it, but the rest of your planet relies on it to survive. Sticky situation indeed. Perhaps a few Imperial Senator's would like to help Senator-Elect Mrash get some new jobs for his planet. I know we have a species on Anobis that has over populated and needs to be "Cleansed" if you would. Not endangered at all, just an annoying species that spawns about 1,000 babies every two weeks. Perhaps this could be of some income for a few hunter clans on Trandosha. What do you say?

| Trandosha is a minerally poor world, but perhaps RimCo would be willing to invest in carbon harvesting on the planet? Mind you, I don't speak for RimCo here in the Senate, but it seems to me the company could bring employment to Trandosha and is worth some consideration.
