| The Lorrdian-Auril Conflict De-Escalation Act
1. Lorrd and the group of Auril Systems that engaged in this conflict suspend hostilities for one week from the passage of this act, or until negotiations end (whichever is sooner), during this time neither side (nor any third party) shall make any changes in military force disposition in the Kanz or Auril Sectors or have their allies do so, this does not prohibit the taking of precautions to assure readiness for any situation.
2. Senator Aurelia shall lead a delegation of her Committee to meet representatives of both sides and facilitate dialogue in this week.
3. Escalation shall be prohibited, escalation shall result in an automatic suspension from the Senate of the escalating world and a fine of fifty million (50,000,000) credits to both the party to the conflict being joined by "escalating" forces and the joiner who brings them.
Escalation is defined as "An increase in Military deployment to counteract a perceived discrepancy".
Escalation includes:
- Declaring war on either power due to the crisis underway.
- Deploying military forces (friend or foe) to the space of either power due to the crisis underway, until the cease fire expires.
- Deploying "advisors", "specialists" or other personnel which could be considered either to the ships or space of either party of the crisis underway.
4. The Imperial Moff of the Kanz Sector is urged to consider his present action and if it represents fair and impartial conduct as there are those who believe it otherwise, he is also urged to keep abreast of the command decisions of his direct reports "on the ground" in the Lorrdian System.
The Imperial Moff of the Auril Sector is urged to assure the Auril Sector forces remain in port until the ceasefire ends.
Both Moffs should note that they have a mandate to ensure worlds are unmolested militarily for the duration of the cease-fire, they should note that they are observers and protectors in this capacity, they are not seconded to local command and should not complete routine duties for the systems they are guaranteeing the ceasefire in.
The Senate grants the Imperial Governors of both Sectors its blessing to use their forces within their respective sectors to protect the worlds involved in the cease fire from any threat (be it from other worlds, pirates or criminals) for the duration of the cease-fire.
When the cease-fire expires both Imperial Sector fleets should withdraw from any direct area of conflict involving both parties. It may however observe from a distance and prosecute any egregious violations of Imperial law or war crimes in general. These Imperial ships may place Sensor bouys to assure a detailed picture of the situation within the combat areas involved, but shall not dispatch any manned craft into an area where hostilities are underway unless it has due cause to do so - thus preventing the effusion of blood from the Empire.
The Sector Military may use reasonable force if it can demonstrate either party is demonstrably breaking Imperial Law.
Changing force disposition is defined as moving vessels outside of their respective home Sectors, or bringing outside forces into the Sector which are not Sector forces being returned to their home sector or newly purchased vessels. During the final 24 hours of the cease-fire, so long as no shots are fired, vessels of both parties may move freely once more.

| I am most certainly against this measure, Senator Terrawin. It is Lorrd's intent to repair it's primary defensive vessel and see it fully crewed as soon as possible, as well as arrange for the construction of a replacement repair yard at Lorrd to replace the destroyed Cardan IV. As I have already stated, Lorrd does not intend to pursue any form of militaristic action against the Auril System in response to this heinous attack; any pursuit of justice shall be done through the Imperial Senate.

| Did you read the proposal?
It doesn't stop you rebuilding vessels - it simply prevents escalation of the conflict through the entry of other parties.

| It also states neither side can make changes in military force disposition, which we certainly intend to do in both defensive static emplacements and the purchase of new vessels. Furthermore, as long as our allies agree ann abide not to take action against the Auril System personnel, I feel we should be able to call upon our allies for aid and succor. Either way, I am still firmly against this.

| Yes, isn't it a brilliant idea, everyone calling to their allies for help. Why not have an interlaced network of alliances so two huge warring powers emerge? No it's a terrible idea to bring additional forces in when the Kanz Sector fleet is already doing your bidding.
As for changes in force disposition, this is within the seven day ceasefire. Do you object to a seven day ceasefire where neither side acts militarily until an attempt at conflict resolution has been made?

| To insinuate the Kanz Sector imperial Fleet is under Lorrd's bidding is a gross insult towards the Imperial Navy and I call Senator Terrawin to rescind his comment immediately or stand in contempt.
Terrawin, I don't object to a ceasefire, but Lorrd isn't going to sit by idly while it's primary anti-capital vessel sits disabled and unable to help.
Senator Aurelius is more than welcome to come and assist in mediating the dispute, but I will not agree to this farce of an act that you've drawn up that insults the Sector Moff, the Kanz Sector fleet and I will certainly not agree to Lorrd being under-defended when we may need it most.

| Cannot Lorrd stay its lust for more warships for even one week? Of course, having been the victim of an unjust attack that appears to have decimated its defenses, Lorrd is understandably concerned with its safety. But might some effort be made to end the war in the Kanz Sector before it is promptly re-stocked with weapons of war? I'm reluctant to vote in favor of this measure, however, as I have misgivings about recalling Moff Shirnoq's fleet. Both Moff Shirnoq and Moff Winder should act as guarantors of the peace while diplomatic efforts are underway. Accusations of "favoritism" aside, it's the right thing to do. I'm also concerned that telling Lorrd it can't defend itself and neither can the Empire defend Lorrd is patently serving the interests of one combatant over the other, though I appreciate this is not the intent of my friend, Senator Terrawin.

| Thankyou, your excellency.
We're willing to agree to a ceasefire along these terms for the week specified, and to refrain from involving allied forces indefinitely. We're willing to keep this a matter between the The Honourable Union of the Worlds of the Auril Sector and the Lorrdian System as initially declared. No-one has any interest in seeing this conflict involve significant numbers of other parties.
Our fleet will agree to stand down under the observation of the Imperial Sector Navy on the guarantee that there will be no Lorrdian breach of the cease-fire. We will additionally agree to commission no new naval ships or begin renovation of existing ones (our largest ship also suffered some damage) until the cease-fire ends.
Thus both sides are in the same condition. If we are unable to negotiate a peace and payment of blood-price then we will be forced to continue hostilities, will cease to recognize the Lorrdian Government and will launch further strikes to bring pressure upon the Lorrdian Government (while striving to protect its civilians) to end the war in a satisfactory manner.
We do call for the punishment of Lord Stark for deploying a civilian flotilla against a group of military ships, this is clearly inappropriate.

| I've been informed the suspected Imperial warning shot was in fact simply a cosmic ray which appeared on the sensors of all present to resemble a laser bolt in power and came from the direction of the TIE intercepting our humanitarian ships. As it transpires the Kanz Sector fleet did thus not fire on the Alsakan relief ships, but did still deploy fighters to enact the will of Lorrdian authorities, so the motion stands as it originally was stated.

| Commodore Cynum, Lord Stark is a member of the Lorrdian Defense Forces Reserves. The trio of yachts you consider as a 'flotilla' are his personal property, co-opted as portions of the Lorrdian Defense Forces as well as the crew aboard said vessels. All crew are qualified veterans of the Clone Wars or have undergone rigorous training programs. If Lord Stark wishes to place his vessels in harms way to defend Lorrd, his homeworld, who are we to call him down? Would you do the same, Senator Terrawin?

| Lorrd is to publish a list of the IFF codes, names and descriptions of it's armed merchantment that it's drafted. I believe the law actually requires 24 hours notice for a change of status for a Commandeered ship but I am not one to pick at technicalities.
Unless the list is published, in full, we're going to have to assume every Lorrdian merchantman is a hostile vessel - as such any discovered in the Lorrd System or elsewhere risk being interned for the course of the war.
Is Lord Stark under arms and serving active service still? Or having the forces under his private ownership do so? I seek clarification for any Lord of the Lorrdian Noble Houses who takes up arms against our forces will be the subject of a Declaration of War between us and their House/Province as a separate matter to the war with Lorrd - that is to say, they will have to negotiate their own treaties after we won any war separate from the peace with the Lorrdian Federal Government.
As long as his charitable enterprises are not involved in the war (it would be a supreme dishonour to do so) I am happy to do battle with him as a fellow Gentleman, and will be prepared to ransom him back to his House for a reasonable fee, when he is captured at the defeat of his forces.

| I don't think an egomaniac in an oversized yacht has any place on a battlefield (if there must be a battlefield).
I firmly believe in Senator Aurelia's ability to bring this crisis to a negotiated settlement but urge the senate to swiftly pass this legislation to empower her with its blessing to negotiate.
The Sector Moff is only urged (not commanded) to withdraw forces by the end of the Cease-fire - not immediately. But I believe it is perfectly reasonable for both Sector Moffs to protect the parties to the ceasefire and assure they don't break it. The Sector Moff is demonstrably acting as a friend of Lorrd first and for the good of the Empire second - or has a Commander at Lorrd making serious errors of judgement. Either way I believe it is fair to call upon both Moffs to take action to protect the ceasefire and allow interplanetary conflict to happen if there is no avoiding it.Added (10 Dec 2012, 6:33 PM)

I've made the act more neutral and clear in its attitude toward the Emperor's Sector Governors.

| Shouldn't the Senate Defense Committee really be calling these two warring powers to explain themselves?
