| Senator Cambrist, I would prefer a Moff to be stationed in the Sluis Sector. However, I have read over Senator Domon's legislation, and see nothing within that states a Moff being appointed should the measure fail. Perhaps I have missed an amendment that was proposed and accepted within the debate? Regardless, I see the Khedive as the constitutionally rightly sector administrator until the appointment of a Moff, at which time I would gladly vote against recognition of the Khedive.

| The situation in the Sluis Sector isn't so dire or dysfunctional as to require a decision now. The Empire doesn't seem to think so, no decision having been made in the last decade (Moff, "Khedive," or otherwise). But this measure makes the Empire's decision for it and makes it more difficult for the Empire to do what you'd prefer—appoint a Moff of the Sluis Sector. The situation is complicated for the Empire when its Senate has already voted for one option or the other based on the politics of the moment rather than the long-term interests of the Empire.
This is a vast over-reaction to a minor commercial dispute between Brentaal and Praesitlyn. I also point out that Brentaal has done a lot of business in the Sluis Sector with no need of the Senate's involvement. Brentaal, in fact, owns 30% of the resource rights (via shares in RimCo) to quite a few moons throughout the Sector, so the situation on Praesitlyn is not an unusual one (aside from all the misanthropic noise coming from the supporters of this "Khedive").
Vote no for the status quo.

| There is obviously an issue arising in lack of recognition here in a clear-cut executive of the sector, would you not agree Senator Cambrist?

| A minor issue, yes. I agreed with Senator Domon on this point but, frankly, it's not important enough for the Senate to become involved at the worst possible moment (a commercial dispute with Brentaal in which the "Khedive's" supporters have roused the people of the Sector into a misanthropic frenzy) and, moreover, to make a decision that should be the Empire's decision, not ours. The fact that Brentaal has done business in the Sluis Sector without incident for so long—RimCo is the largest non-Sluissi employer in the sector—undermines the arguments of "urgency" from Senator Domon.

| I've always been in favor of sector's defending them selves.
I'm not quiet sure where I stand on this matter. Sector Moff's are always useful. I know this personally.

| I do not believe Sluis Sector needs a Sector Moff to be in charge, as long as the Khedive is capable of running the Sector properly. Like Senator Youngblood, I firmly believes sectors should have a right to defend themselves. Telos IV votes in favor of keeping the Khedive in charge of Sluis Sector.

| I request before this vote is closed that Senator Youngblood clarify whether his vote is for or against this measure.

| I feel a sector moff would be best for Most sector's at this time, therefor I vote against this measure.

| Acherin must vote Against! We cannot allow random beings to be in control! It could greatly effect loyalty of a planet!

| This is indeed not the greatest time to have the Senate interfere in a trade and territorial dispute. There appears to be some form of resistance within the Sluis Sector to the Khedive, in fact recent polls support this argument. At this time, I must stand Against this legislation. Were there not be active disputes on-going in the region, I would be more than supportive of recognition of the Khedive until such a time as the Empire mandates a Moff take control of the sector.

| The vote is closed, and the measure is defeated with 45% in favor and 55% opposed. Let the record show that votes from Lorrd, Deralia, and the Cygnus Star Empire weren't counted in the final tally in accordance with Senate procedure 4.1—the measure was proposed before the Senators of these worlds were sworn in (or, in the case of Senator Kirkwood, before he returned from his leave of absence).
