| Senators,
I would like you to join me in supporting Jeph Stomwell for Chancellor in this next election.
After all, he has Administrative experience, being Sultan of Blenjeel, there's plenty of non-sentient ravenous worms in this chamber and this Senator is the only one we have with the backbone and experience to lead them.
For being an alleged pacifist and yet supporting the perpetuation of the Botor-Dawferim conflict in very "matter of fact" terms, showing he's not afraid to say when two species need to be left to wipe eachother out.
For showing no care for former Republic worlds languishing under Hutt hegemony against their will, but caring deeply about armed religions.
For opposing the Alderaaanian assistance to Jerne
While approving Lorrdian annexation of a totally virgin ecosystem on Drongar?
For voting against ending the apartheid and speciesism Naboo lives in today, where the Naboo dominate the Gungans. It's especially demonstrative of leadership quality where he expresses pity for the Gungans and yet has nothing but words for them as he rejects the motion to give them more equality on Naboo.
For stalwartly supporting Chancellor Pryce, despite his many controversies, it's never stopped Stomwell browning his nose.

| It is kind of Senator Ordan to offer me a nomination, all the while pointing out a number of my good points.
Indeed, Baltimn is a pacifistic world, and indeed, I don't believe in throwing fresh young lives away to try and halt a centuries-long conflict that would not be easily stopped, especially bloodlessly?
Indeed, I am all for Republic worlds, and if a world has been gone from the Republic, it is not up to myself to single-handedly bring it back into the fold, and as well, I do care deeply about armed cults springing up from Republic space, threatening worlds outside the Republic, but which could just as easily threaten worlds in the Republic. In the regard of having worlds languish under Hutt rule, I would like to suggest that Senator Ordan, with the mighty arm of Alderaan's fleet, go forth to help these poor worlds that languish so deeply under Huttese custody.
I also see the good Alderaanian senator pointed out my fears wherein I was concerned that Alderaan's policies would lead it to take over a number of worlds. I have been, sadly, proved right, as Alderaan simply abandons poor Jerne with little thought and simply sets its sights on the Yavin System. Fortunately, I did have the sense to back Lorrd's action at Drongar, for the good it will bring the Republic and the ill, across Republic space.
Let us not forget the Gungans and the Naboo, where neither side should be forced, as I stated, to terms one or the other side sets forth. Instead, reason and wisdom, between both sides, can find a common ground. As ever, Baltimn stands to send whatever nonmilitary aid the Gungan people require.
As always, I support the Chancellor's decision. Perhaps you forget, Senator Ordan, that not everyone grew up suckling from a golden bottle and was changed with silken diapers born by golden droids.
At this whimsical statement, there was a fair amount of laughter in the Senate.
Please settle, gentlebeings. Please. Now, it is not my place to demand answers to an investigation when it is proceeding in a timely manner.
That being said, I do thank the Senator of Alderaan for his kind nomination and his odd retelling of facts that enforces my neutrality and pacifism on a number of matters. But with all regrets, I must decline. It was never my intent to run for the Chancellorship, though I do wish all contenders good fortune.
Jeph Stomwell
Senator, Baltimn

| "Poor Jerne" "Desert" You're as ever poorly informed. Jerne is to be developed as planned. We simply have found that keeping a Military base there in Orbit for our Fleet was (understandably) seen as an implicit threat to the nearby worlds in the Kanz Sector. We're leaving it with a Planetary Defense force and a Garrison; would you care to explain how that consists abandonment?
Your pacifism is feigned.
Quote Jeph_Stomwell (  ) Baltimn is a pacifistic world
Quote Jeph_Stomwell ( ) with the mighty arm of Alderaan's fleet, go forth to help these poor worlds that languish so deeply under Huttese custody.
Not all of us were poor, no. Were you poor Senator? Did people try to kill and assassinate your parents daily? No. You grew up in a life where your bed and your transpoort didn't have to be checked for bombs each day, where your food couldn't be tasted until it had been toxicology screeened... The grass is always greener I suppose; and it's evident your "impoverished" upbringing hasn't served you too badly has it.
I'm disappointed that this squirming, worming, cowardly, do-nothing Bureaucrat wasn't able to be further shown up in debates. But it's your choice not to run then Senator. I genuinely think had you run, and had some insanity gripped the Senate and elected you that there might well be no Senate left at the next election; by the way you seem to feel opposed to any proactive action (except when Lorrd does it)

| Well, I stand corrected about Jerne, and I applaud you for your surprising generosity!
I don't believe my pacifism is feigned at all, Senator! Apparently, your early years fending off assassination and bombings has made you miss sarcasm.
There was another titter of laughter at Ordan's outrage, for Stomwell had clearly been sarcastic in his tone.
We can't all be war-mongering glory hounds, Senator. Some of us, a lot of us, I'm sure, would like to see the peace and tranquility of the Republic fully restored and last another thousand years.
There were cheers made on his final statement; in a Great Era of Peace, none wanted to see problems created where there were so few.
Jeph Stomwell
Senator, Baltimn

| I'm glad that passes for wit on Baltimn. War Mongering? Have I ever lead Alderaan to War? Or called on the Republic going to war?
The senate probably wouldn't have been quite so effusive as Baltimn seemed to believe. Outer Rim Worlds away from TDF protection were constantly preyed on by pirates and slavers and each petition for aid brought nothing. The Judicial Forces just didn't have the ships and hundreds and thousands of worlds could be hit and wait for a month before their distress cal was answered. The Hutts had again began to expand insidious influence among many worlds close to Hutt space which despite being Republic members now were under corrupt Hutt bought leaders. The Outer Rim Worlds didn't pay tax, but you who was having to pay to help respond to these increasing levels of danger? The non-Rim taxpayer. The Republic was seen as weak, a rotting corpse which the Hutts and others fed on like agents of contagion. Few in the Republic wished truly to see this continue.
You're just mouthing platitudes that might as well be from a childrens textbook of rhetoric. You know nothing of the Galaxy, Jeph Stomwell.

| Crown Prince Ordan, I think (as do the major corporate and political interests not to decadent to have no opinion) that we do need a change of direction. Yes, the Free Trade Zones pioneered by beings line Haane Joffine, Luneray Kruus (and many others who helped put in the zones during their early careers) have strengthened the economy and brought prosperity which is largely protected by the TDF.
Let me be quite honest here, the Trade Federation currently generates a profit - so by your logic we shouldn't support reform? We do not take this view, We believe in the future, tomorrow is as important as today and you cannot simply rest on your laurels or you will errode as many parts of the Republic have done in prestige, respect and territory. We believe that only through continual evolution and adaption can worlds and organizations remain profitable and relevant in the Galaxy.
Where a firm hand is needed, we need a Chancellor who is firm and sound in judgement. Who knows how to apply force, where and with what strength (physically or allegorically). I think you'd make a fine member of the Civil Service Mr Stomwell but without even knowing your policies regarding my Conglomerate we can tell you that it is our belief that the Galaxy would not benefit from another Chancellor who isweak, lazy, corrupt, self serving or obstructive as we have sen in recent holders of the role..
We want a being with grit who has experience and understanding of the Galaxy and it's economics. Who knows when to punish or praise and how to promote the good of the Republic, one who knew to bring back the glories of the past. Backbone, Brinkmanship etc are all important things for the Chancellor. Noone would vote for a massively immoderate Chancellor, but it needs to be a quality among many and not a "Unique point" if you ever hope to run for office.
Serving in a Ministry or Committee that actually deals with the horrors of the Outer Rim. That as it stands only protected by the Trade Defense Force and a precious few Judicial Force units which can be spared from the core. It can be months before the Judicials have time to respond to a Pirate raid or robbery..
We must stop the rot spreading, and heal the damaged wood.
Senator Prentiss Cynum

| I urge Senator Stomwell to stand brave against these mocking words from a small faction within the Galactic Core.
If you believe you have it in you to change the Galaxy, stand up and fight back don't back down to any King or mocking despot.
What do you believe in Senator Stomwell?

| Senator Cynum made a number of good points, Senator Kruus.
For starters, I believe in not running for Chancellor. Look what it's done to Chancellor Pryce. No offense intended, Chancellor.
No, Baltimn is a small world that has remained out of the public view of ridicule and issue largely because it is a moderate world. A neutral world.
I believe in equality for all, though it seems nearly impossible to find.
I believe that large and small businesses should both be able to thrive and grow, but that isn't the case everywhere.
I believe many things should be changed, Senator Kruus, but I often feel that it is a fool's hope.
Jeph Stomwell
Senator, Baltimn

| It is nice to see another un-jaded believer in virtue within this Chamber.
Soon I shall be unveiling a new and dynamic proposal for re-igniting the spirit of the Republic through the things you speak of, doing things to make tangible changes for everyone. I don't believe in equality for all in the economic sense, but I certainly do believe in equality of opportunity and a more meritocratic future.
I hope you'll share my vision for the future when I unveil it in the coming week. Because I too believe that the Republic deserves better and have a coherent plan to restore it to Glory.
