SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-MagnusSys): Thank you everyone. If you’ll take your seats, this session will come to order. Thank you. Unless there are any additional points to discuss regarding the previous bill… H3456.23 from the honorable Senator from Ferron, we will move forward. Motion is concluded and will be passed along to Mr. Harker in the Imperator’s office for review. Next order, Senator Ngo submitted the following resolution. Madame Senator, you have the floor: SENATOR MIRA NGO (T-TerraSys): Thank you Mr Speaker. My esteemed colleagues, in the creation of this proposal, I took it upon myself to speak to not only my constituency, but other systems as well. What I found in these conversations was sometimes challenging but always enlightening. In short, I feel that there is a significant movement among the fine Citizens of our civilization to move the capital of the UEE from Earth to Terra. SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-MagnusSys): Ladies and gentlemen, please. The floor will be open for debate once the honorable Senator has finished. SENATOR MIRA NGO (T-TerraSys): Thank you. I understand that this continues to be a sensitive subject. Earth will always be our ancestral home. This is the planet that gave life to us. No one is denying that. But as we evolve, you have to recognize that for government to be effective in a territory as vast as ours it needs to be close to the action. Based on current DataCom routes, it still takes days, even weeks for dispatches to reach Earth. The truth of the matter is also a strategic one. While military intelligence simulations reports that although the Vanduul lack the organization to mount a successful campaign, Earth is in a highly indefensible position strategically. If the Vanduul were to ever launch an offensive, it’s very likely that military forces in Terra, even Davien systems, would be unaware for hours maybe even a day. Why is Terra always the epicenter of this debate? Few can argue that Terra is a major nexus of trading and finance in the territory. But let me move past that for a minute and talk history. To be blunt, Earth has a conflicted history. Depending on which period you choose you will find either innovation or blood. Conversely, Terra has always maintained a progressive diplomatic stance even in the darkest eras of the Messer Era. To quote my lovely grandmother, they just took to the right way of living. But my proposal is not a Terra or bust type situation. I and my constituents simply believe that there needs to be a change in the political center of the UEE to a location that better represents the new direction humanity has taken. Any and all star systems should be considered as a possible home. We just feel that due to location, our homeworld is simply become impractical. In every child’s life, there is a point where they have to leave their home and become their own individual. We are and will always be the children of Earth but it’s time to move on. The proposal you have in front of you is a call for referendum, to put the vote to the Citizens. Like our forefathers back in 2380 when forming the United Nations of Earth, I believe that it should be put to the people to decide. We are, after all, here for the good people of the UEE and it should be their decision. Attached you will also find provisions detailing the process of transference. Mr. Speaker, I yield the rest of my allotted time. > . . . END EXCERPT UEE-Kongress 2942.8.4 Session AutoScript Geprüft und zugelassen - Archivar Yates (#57573BDF) < 13:48 Uhr - Die Sitzung wurde wieder aufgenommen. SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-MagnusSys): Ich danke euch allen. Wenn Sie sich setzen, wird diese Sitzung zur Ordnung kommen. Ich danke dir. Es sei denn, es gibt zusätzliche Punkte zu besprechen bezüglich des vorherigen Gesetzes.... H3456.23 vom ehrenwerten Senator von Ferron, wir werden vorankommen. Der Antrag ist abgeschlossen und wird zur Prüfung an Herrn Harker im Büro des Imperators weitergeleitet. Nächste Bestellung, Senator Ngo legte die folgende Resolution vor. Frau Senatorin, Sie haben das Wort: SENATOR MIRA NGO (T-TerraSys): Vielen Dank, Herr Präsident. Meine geschätzten Kollegen, bei der Ausarbeitung dieses Vorschlags habe ich es mir zur Aufgabe gemacht, nicht nur vor meinem Wahlkreis, sondern auch vor anderen Systemen zu sprechen. Was ich in diesen Gesprächen fand, war manchmal herausfordernd, aber immer erhellend. Kurz gesagt, ich glaube, dass es eine bedeutende Bewegung unter den guten Bürgern unserer Zivilisation gibt, um die Hauptstadt der UEE von der Erde nach Terra zu verlegen. SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-MagnusSys): Meine Damen und Herren, bitte. Das Wort wird für die Debatte offen sein, sobald der ehrenwerte Senator fertig ist. SENATOR MIRA NGO (T-TerraSys): Ich danke dir. Ich verstehe, dass dies nach wie vor ein heikles Thema ist. Die Erde wird immer unsere angestammte Heimat sein. Dies ist der Planet, der uns das Leben gegeben hat. Niemand bestreitet das. Aber wenn wir uns weiterentwickeln, müssen Sie erkennen, dass die Regierung, damit sie in einem so riesigen Gebiet wie dem unseren effektiv sein kann, in der Nähe der Aktion sein muss. Basierend auf den aktuellen DataCom-Routen dauert es noch Tage, ja sogar Wochen, bis die Dispositionen die Erde erreichen. Die Wahrheit der Sache ist auch eine strategische. Während Simulationen des militärischen Nachrichtendienstes berichten, dass die Vanduul zwar nicht über die nötige Organisation verfügen, um eine erfolgreiche Kampagne durchzuführen, sich die Erde strategisch gesehen in einer sehr unhaltbaren Position befindet. Wenn die Vanduul jemals eine Offensive starten würden, ist es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass die Streitkräfte in Terra, sogar die Davien-Systeme, stundenlang nichts davon wissen würden, vielleicht sogar einen Tag lang. Warum steht Terra immer im Mittelpunkt dieser Debatte? Nur wenige können behaupten, dass Terra ein wichtiger Knotenpunkt für Handel und Finanzen in diesem Gebiet ist. Aber lassen Sie mich das für eine Minute hinter mich bringen und über die Geschichte sprechen. Um ehrlich zu sein, die Erde hat eine widersprüchliche Geschichte. Je nachdem, für welchen Zeitraum Sie sich entscheiden, finden Sie entweder Innovation oder Blut. Umgekehrt hat Terra auch in den dunkelsten Epochen der Messer-Ära immer eine progressive diplomatische Haltung eingenommen. Um meine liebe Großmutter zu zitieren, haben sie sich einfach auf die richtige Lebensweise eingestellt. Aber mein Vorschlag ist keine Terra- oder Büste-Situation. Ich und meine Wähler sind einfach der Meinung, dass es eine Veränderung des politischen Zentrums der UEE zu einem Ort geben muss, der die neue Richtung der Menschheit besser repräsentiert. Alle Sternensysteme sollten als mögliches Zuhause betrachtet werden. Wir haben nur das Gefühl, dass unsere Heimatwelt aufgrund der Lage einfach unpraktisch wird. Im Leben eines jeden Kindes gibt es einen Punkt, an dem es sein Zuhause verlassen und zu seinem eigenen Individuum werden muss. Wir sind und werden immer die Kinder der Erde sein, aber es ist Zeit, weiterzumachen. Der Ihnen vorliegende Vorschlag ist ein Aufruf zum Referendum, um die Bürger zur Abstimmung zu bringen. Wie unsere Vorfahren im Jahre 2380 bei der Gründung der Vereinten Nationen der Erde glaube ich, dass es dem Volk überlassen werden sollte, zu entscheiden. Wir sind schließlich für die guten Menschen in der UEE da, und es sollte ihre Entscheidung sein. Im Anhang finden Sie auch Bestimmungen, die den Prozess der Übertragung detailliert beschreiben. Mr. Speaker, ich gebe den Rest meiner zugeteilten Zeit nach. > . . .
