| Chancellor,
For hundreds of years the Botor-Dawferim War has dragged on with bloody decade after decade of stalemated horror.
I would like to propose the Chancellor uses his power to do the following:
1. Declare a ceasefire with immediate effect.
2. Using force via small incision forces lead by Jedi to prune away any forces who insist on remaining deadlocked in conflict.
3. Once a ceasefire has been imposed, send in Jedi Negotiating teams and force the two sides to a summit.
4. Offer the two factions the choice of resolving their differences at this summit, or being annexed by the Republic as the Mandalorian Territories were.
Verence Terrawin

| I concur, Chancellor Pryce, show some backbone and leadership on this clear violation of the Galactic Peace. You are the Galactic Republic's Chancellor, that is to say the Supreme Magistrate, you are obliged to keep the peace and have the services of the Judicial Forces and the Jedi Order at your beck and call.
I believe if Chancellor Pryce does not begin to act, and act quickly, he is failing in his oath of office. He is not keeping the Galactic Peace in the Botor Enclave and Dawferim Worlds. He is simply turning a blind eye.
Act, Chancellor. Do something. Please demonstrate in some manner that you have not in fact expired behind your lectern.

| My responsibility, Senator Ordan, is to keep the peace in Republic space. I know the looming prospect of war in the Lambda Sector didn't much interest you, but if you do find the time to peruse my remarks on that subject, you'll see that I take this responsibility quite seriously. The fact is that the Botor Enclave and the Dawpherm Planet States are not a part of the Republic. They are Allied Regions, gentlemen. Allied Regions. I know that the term isn't in vogue these days, but it's a legal term nonetheless and it means that the Botor-Dawpherm War is outside of Republic jurisdiction.
Moreover, the war has become an institution for the Botori and the Dauferim. They have developed 500 years worth of tradition and law concerning the conduct of this war. Senator Terrawin, I too would like to see this war end. I'd also like it if everyone did what Jaso Pryce told them to, but the fact is I have no right to "declare a ceasefire" and I doubt the Botori or the Dauferim would honor such a ceasefire because they don't have to. Or, Senator Ordan, would you have the Republic arbitrarily choose one side and help it destroy the other once and for all? (Actually Senator, don't answer that question).
It's not our fight, gentlemen. The Jedi are welcome to have a go at it, and I might even consider supporting them in doing so. But a peacekeeping force is quite out of the question.

| Quote Chancellor_Pryce (  ) the war has become an institution for the Botori and the Dauferim
Thanks to indigent and ineffective men like you at the helm of the Republic.
Quote Chancellor_Pryce ( ) It's not our fight, gentlemen.
This is the Galactic Republic, any major war is "your fight" you are the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Senate not the Republic Senate of it's Members. Your implied responsibilities range well outside those you claim. Disorder is corrosive and spreads like wildfire, and this Chancellor is happy to let these wildfires burn. You abdicate responsibility to the Jedi but I ask you this Chancellor Pryce.
What have you or your subordinates done to attempt to de-escalate the Botor-Dawferim Situation?
What have you or your subordinates done to attempt to find a diplomatic resolution to the War?
How many megadeaths need occur before Chancellor Pryce will decide it is within the interest of the Galactic Republic to do so!

| The Botor-Dawpherm War had been going on for 370 years as of the day I was born, Senator. It was 407 years old when I was elected Chancellor, and it is 408 years old now. So if you want to blame a year of it on me, go ahead. But I'm not responsible for over 400 years of war. Neither are you, Senator, and neither is the Republic responsible for events that occur outside of its jurisdiction.
What would you have me do, Senator? Shall I notify the Atrisian Commonwealth that it is no longer independent because the Galactic Republic is "galactic" not simply in name, but in fact? Shall I force the 30 systems of Herglic Space into the Republic too? Shall I make war on the 50 systems of the Botor Enclave and the Daupherm Planet States for daring to presume that they have a right to govern themselves? While we're at it, Senator, do you suppose we can squeeze in a war with the Hapan Consortium before Life Day? And shall we also disabuse the Corporate Sector of its delusions of autonomy?
Don't let's be silly. I do not accept your premise, Senator Ordan, because it contradicts thousands of years of Republic law and precedent, including plenty of Republic interventions in the Botor-Dawpherm War when, and only when, that war threatened to spill over into Republic space. (I'd also point out that over the past 400 years, such interventions have been few and far between—quite to the contrary of your alarmist claim that the Botor-Dawpherm War may "spread like wildfire").
You ask what I've done to address the Botor-Dawpherm situation. I could just as well ask you what your position is on the Er'stacian clan wars. But I'll admit that I've done nothing—because I've concerned myself with the maintenance of peace within Republic space. Or is the Lambda Sector the only area of space that you don't consider part of the Republic? I don't seem to get much credit for preventing a war there.

| I support Chancellor Pryce's views in this.
Frankly, if the the Botor and Dawferim have been in conflict for so long, why not let them continue? It would be a waste of valuable resources of the Republic to spend any trying to bring their conflict to a close. Resources and lives, gentlebeings. Let them stay in their corner of space and slow erode one another.

| GENTLEMEN!!!!
Leadership and the quality that it is given are hard to come by! However, I will not allow our mighty Jedi allies to run into an open vibro-knife without some Republic support. WE ARE THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC!!!! The ruling body of the Galaxy!! We must demonstrate this to those that seek to disable our powerful DEMOCRACY!!!!

| Chancellor,
Would there be a specific law on the books that prevents a Member World from going to war with Independent Entities such at the Botor Enclave, where there is no risk to the Republic of wider spread reprisals in general?
If for example if Lorrd or Alsakan attacked (but didn't take over) a Freestanding Subsector with no affiliation or treaties with the Republic, like Pesitiin, would there be a law against that?

| The Botor Enclave and the Daupherm Planet States are "independent entities," yes, but they are independent entities that are allied with the Republic. For this arrangement to be worth anything more than the flimplast it's written on, Republic members must indeed respect the independence of the Allied Regions. In any event, whether there is a "risk to the Republic" in this case is a determination for me and my Ministry of State to make, not the Crown Prince of Alderaan. However, if its any comfort to you, Senator, I fully intend to uphold the Republic's hundreds-year-old policy of containing the Botor-Daupherm War within Botori and Dawferim space so that it remains none of Alderaan's concern.
