The holocamera clicks over to a live feed from the home of the Sullust President. It is very cozy with a number of plush furnishings. Pesiro is sitting in a single-person chair as he looks at the camera. Off his right shoulder, there is a fire burning in a fireplace.
"I have been encouraged by a number of parties on Sullust and in the galaxy as a whole to address my opinion on the clones used by the Black Imperium and currently feared to be in use by various other fractured segments of criminals that have obtained the technology on the black market. Thus, today, I wish to address the opinion of my administration and a few recent opinions given by members of the Supreme Court of Sullust to the galaxy."
"The lifeform we all understand, in its various forms of advancement, are not sentient beings. They do not have any judgment or self-will, merely weapons used by the Black Imperium and other factions to conduct their military operations. Since they are biological in nature, clones are now considered biological weapons under Sullustan law."
"With this judgment pronounced, I wish to call on the Black Imperium and the other factions that have acquired the incubator and eggs to produce clones to halt immediately. The current clone armies used by various factions should be dismantled and retired so they can never be used again."
"Sullust is willing to host a conference with all members of the galactic community to come together and discuss treaties and pacts to rid the galaxy of biological weapons and biological terror devices. The galaxy will be a better place for all of us to live when biological weapons no longer present a threat to the health and safety of our galactic self-preservation."
