Chancellor Deryck had, at his very core, hoped to never have to bring this subject before the Senate in an emergency hearing. However, recent events had finally forced his hand. The bombing on Alderaan, the fight on Chandrila, the results of the Alderaan Investigation, these and so many more events had proven that they were already under attack, just not overtly from the Hutt Cartel. Their warfare was done in the shadows, yet regardless of the battlefield they were still the aggressor. This needed to be addressed, it needed to be voted. The drums of war were beating and it would be up to this legislative body to determine the Republic's current course. The former Admiral honestly couldn't predict how this all would go.
"Senators, I'm certain that many of you have foreseen this day's arrival. The attacks against our sovereign worlds, our people, our soldiers, has only increased in frequency. There has been proven corruption of a sovereign planet's government by the Hutt Cartel. You all know of these problems and more, so I'll spare you a recitation. However, a truth I have been just as loathe as you to accept is becoming more and more clear: we are at war with the Cartel. The people we are sworn to represent and protect are being harmed and killed by these foreign agents. Our Grand Army is being rebuilt even as we speak, yet I fear that will not be enough to address this situation. This will be the point of this Hearing and eventual vote: to declare War on the Cartel. I will open the floor up to a short debate on the matter then start the vote. I implore each and every one of you to give this matter the thought that the gravity of this situation demands." With that he stepped back, waiting for the heated debate to begin. He knew this would be quite the discussion, but he wouldn't let it go on indefinitely. Time was of the essence.
((OOC: I will give 48 hours for Senators to debate before I put this up for a vote. Death/PVP/PVE/Shenanigans disabled. Have fun!))
