To present before the Council, herewith the SUPP Platform:
Strength through Joy Act: The Empire fails its people’s recreational needs. Native Securans fall away from the their hedonistic traditions into dark paths of tireless industry and mindless thrift, while those who became Securans by choice lack access to the appropriate facilities to be assimilated to Securan high standards of culture, leisure, entertainment and recreation and instilled with habits of tourism, consumerism, and revelry. Accordingly, we propose the sum of 717,000 be immediately spent to commence resort projects at suitable locations spread through the galaxy in order to provide beacons of Securan culture in the darkness.
Military Relief Act:
Part 1: Securans are not made for war. The rigors and horrors of combat harden and coarsen Securans and cause permanent psychological pathology and joy memory disturbances that can make them strangers to their families and alien in their own culture. Partly this is due to the cruel deprivation of recreational activities of those who serve in space. Even if they cannot take their daily leisure and make their regular observances, we can at least make it law that every ship and station built or refit from now forward include a Recreation Center, and that every ship of frigate size or greater not assigned to permanent duty within a system including a spaceport with recreation facilities be refitted as soon as possible to a reformed design.
Part 2: The lives of our people must be protected. Accordingly, scientific research shall focus on the development of robotic repairs and shield technologies in order to minimize the risk to spacefaring citizens.
Part 3: Preserve lives by disbanding all raw divisions, particularly those of any native Securans and other peoples to whom violence is disturbing, while retaining in service as guardians of the peace only those veteran divisions whose troops have been so hardened that they cannot make a proper return to society (though through the spread of recreation centers and resorts, some may be saved). To replace the disbanded forces and provide for our security, create garrisons of the new generation of perfected battle bot made by the Sylon Corporation.
Part 4: To preserve harmony and peace and promote Universal Paradise, we propose a new class of large peacekeeping ships with long range sensors and ample fuel supplies for independent operation be commissioned to rove space independently both exploring and detecting and correcting breaches of the peace. The military would evaluate the retrofitting of existing warships for this purpose.
Proclamation: Open Door to Secura: We propose that all who wish to come to our space as friends in happiness and peace be welcomed with full acceptance and assimilation. This will swell the ranks of Securan bliss and spread word of the beacon of Paradise through the galaxy. The peacekeeping forces shall spread word of this invitation.
----
The SUPP also proposes that the foreign service, civil service, and hospitality service develop certain interstellar initiatives including Galactic Directives to govern all the inhabitants of the galaxy under our care and that of our allies. These proposals would be along the following lines:
A Prime Galactic Directive prohibiting interference with the development of native cultures that maintain peace and do not engage in barbaric practices (i.e., slavery, extermination, piracy).
An Anti-Barbarism Galactic Security Directive to implement the Prime: All civilized empires are authorized and entitled to liberate any world with a population subject to slavery or extermination, or engage overt pirates, and our Peacekeepers are directed to engage in appropriate operations to carry this out.
Rehabilitation of Pirates: All pirates other than those who have already revealed their essential malevolence shall be invited to reform and provided with financial support to learn new trades and affordable rates at Securan resorts and spas to enable them to pursue a more pacific manner of life. Those who evidence failure to reform will be subject to permanent pacification by our Peacekeepers.
Convention against atrocities: Secura pledges to prevent atrocities against defenseless civilians such as bombardment of inhabited worlds and intentional destruction of purely civilian ships and facilities, and proclaims declares its right to pacify any empire engaging in such activities. Sadly, we descended to such brutality in the police action against the hapless Dhayut. Secura will also encourage its allies to adopt a similar policy.
OK, this is heavy Securan role-playing and getting back in touch with their pleasure-loving pacifist roots, but that’s something Legends encourages. And all very responsive to the decline of moral position and diplomatic standing in which Secura finds itself –self-restrained pacifistic policeman of the galaxy is an interesting and topical role.
