There, now it's fixed.

 

We need to rebuild the military by any means available to protect our fragile government and planets. I also say we should allow a limited and temporary freedom to allow the commerce guilds to arm for protection from piracy in exchange they must continue the vital shipments to Kamino and Ryloth, until the military can step in and take over, or the freedom to allow individual planets to build up its own forces to counter any piracy, but until the moment we can do any arming of anyone we need to send Intel to Abydos and Naboo to investigate these claims.

I don't see any reason why we should not grant the Chosen political asylum, and as far as I am concerned they have the freedom to practice their religion as they please, but unless they can prove they are citizens from planets within our sovereignty they can not run for an office, if how ever if say one was from Coruscant or Kamino if they are chosen by their populous to an office than I see why not as long as they do not use any of their powers to brainwash others, and this applies to Jedi or Sith. But I do suggest forming some type of failsafe in place as to if they begin brainwashing us or becomes serious threats to our government it can be dealt with swiftly.

 

Fellow delegates, we live in a galaxy on the verge of crisis. As acn be seen by the Chancellor's report we face a variety of problems which must be solved. While no single issue is as great as the recent unpleasentness, taken togther they could bring about the downfall of our governemnt.

As has been noted, the military forces at the command of this Senate are weak and exhausted from recent conflicts. I believe we must grant the commerce and trade guilds greater rights to arm their vessels so that they might defend themselves from the actvities of pirates and brigands. However as a world of professional soldiers, I must oppose the military's request to adopt conscription to fill their ranks. Such forces tend to be too poorly trained and even more poorly motivated to attend to the tasks at hand. Instead greater support should be given to the defense forces of local systems to deal with any problems they face.

When it comes to the matter of "The Chosen" who have become refugees on my world, I must say that we support them in their efforts to legitimize their system of beliefs. While we Mandalorians do not believe as they do, we stand with them in their desire to legalize their form of worship as well as allow them to run openly for office.

 

I agree with Senator TomMon of Kamino. The guild shipments are vital to our planets, and these pirates are making it very difficult to keep our trade lines open. I saw we should move for a temporary motion allowing these guilds to arm their merchant craft in exchange for continuing their trade practices. With our military forces stretched thin, we have no other choice to get these shipments brought in, as I am aware that my planet's Navy is too inadequate at current levels to deal with these pirates.

I also agree with Senator Bardan on conscription. Those drafted into service in such a manner are not fit for duty, and can easily be dangerous. We must continue to rely on trained troops to keep the peace.

 

With three highly respected influential senators and myself addressing the senate floor in favour of arming the mining guild and ReHab congloberate's freighters, I ask the senate to vote on this important issue. The slower the senate reacts, the dire the plight of Ryloth and Kamino become. As a funding system, Muunilinst can absorb the financing of such undertaking but only if it granted the exception of taxes to the New Galactic Empire for a period of no longer than 4 years. I would also propose to the senate that the liberty of arming the guilds should also have a sunset clause.

 

I believe Alagaartassle should be the one to put forward the Motion Chancellor

 

OOC: Again, I shall be using these accounts interchangeably. (AKA Senator Viscretus...)

I shall approve this motion, if it is to be put forth.

I however think that there should be restrictions put forth, so that the Commerce Guilds do not abuse their power. As it stands we are giving them access to any amount of weapons and ammunition, which gives them the potential to become a threat. If we do not place restrictions then we must improve the surveillance of the trade routes to avoid any situation.

I will not allow another trade blockade to potentially occur. It would cause unneeded harm to the Naboo economy and people.

I will also put forth a suggestion for recruitment stations to be implemented into worlds in the Outer and Mid Rims, to increase the amount of potential recruits we can gain. I agree with the mention of soldiers becoming "unfit" with conscription, as they are not prepared in the way that elite soldiers should be.

 

Ok sense we have all agreed more or less for this is in some way or another I will present this as a Motion to his Majesty for consideration to vote. This isn't a law so much as a Temporary exemption of current laws for select areas for a limited time.

Your Corruption: 30

 

I second this

 

Abydos supports this motion.

 

Naboo approves and supports of the proposed motion.

 

Mandalore has concerns regarding sections 5 and 6 of this bill. We believe that it is the right of any ship to arm itself in any manner its owner sees fit. So while we see this bill as a good start we believe it does not go far enough. Thus we vote No.

No provisions of tax relief for funding, ***sigh*** forces Muunilist to completly object to this action. Muunilist will not fund the arming of transport freightors if it is not duly compensated.​

OOC: I'm sorry for being out of this thread for a little while, but whenever you guys tag me I don't receive it as you guys mis-spelled my name. It's spelt Darth_Vemonis, not Darth_Venomis.

 

well I believe that is settled then

48 hours is up

 

Yup it has passed. And to explain to Mandalore, This law does not affect current laws and freedoms, it mainly revolves around the fact that, after all there are laws that forbid trade guilds ect.. from arming their vessels with Military grade weapons, this law suspended that 1 temporary, so as the case of individual mandalorians standard laws that has been on the books are still enacted, and this exemption doesn't pertain. As for Muunnilist, The Guilds asked for the freedom to arm their freighters, so we have agreed to let them arm them, not pay for them to, if they wish to arm they may in the above standards but if they don't want to they don't have to but as they have threatened to end needed supply shipments unless granted the freedom, We have upheld our end of the bargin now they must up held theirs.
