 Now my fellow Senators, I believe I have made my points clear but I shall try to re-express and re-emphasize my points in the hope of convincing you that this is truly what is required. Now my fellow Senators, I believe I have made my points clear but I shall try to re-express and re-emphasize my points in the hope of convincing you that this is truly what is required.
  
-Firstly then there is trade. Most of our planets trade with each other and this trade must, by necessity, be carried by vessels equipped with very costly Faster Than Light engines, restricting inter-stellar trade to the wealthy elite. Furthermore it is still a risky business, we still have the constant threat of the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]] which might attack our traffic at any time, not to mention the increase in pirate raids we have been having. It is not safe between the stars my friends.+Firstly then there is trade.

 If we implement the Gates inter-stellar transport and inter-stellar trade will be open to everyone, the entrepreneur will have a chance in today's market, not only those with access to Faster Than Light propulsion. This will massively increase our prosperity. In addition to this using a Gate will ensure the safety of our civilian transport, as well as our military in traveling between systems. Pirating will be effectively eliminated in one fell swoop. If we implement the Gates inter-stellar transport and inter-stellar trade will be open to everyone, the entrepreneur will have a chance in today's market, not only those with access to Faster Than Light propulsion.

-Secondly there are the new colony worlds which we captured from the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]]. If we implement a system of Gates which encompasses them we will breathe life blood in to them, colonists will be able to come easily to make out a new life and the entrepreneurs ready to make the best of these new worlds so full of opportunity. We wish to make these planets part of the empire in more than name and military presence and this is a way to that end.+Secondly there are the new colony worlds which we captured from the [[species:mishhuvurthyar:mishhuvurthyar]].

 Thirdly there is the military angle. The ability to transport our fleets instantaneously from one system to another may be something of a military advantage-perhaps it will even lead to a decrease in need to have the power we have in our Faster Than Light engines which draw power from weapons and defense. While I doubt it will ever be the case we can do this to all ships it is something to ponder. In addition despite our ships now being capable of crossing the entire empire within around five minutes, five minutes can still be a long time with the opponents we face. Thirdly there is the military angle.

 My Fifth point concerns the [[system:Ohara|Oharans]], while you can not reap the benefits of the Gate in the immediate future you can look forward to a time when you can use it, and use it to access the interstellar market. With the Gate, your need to develop Faster the Light propulsion is reduced, with only the simplest of space propulsion you would be able to access any other planet in the empire.  My Fifth point concerns the [[system:Ohara|Oharans]], while you can not reap the benefits of the Gate in the immediate future you can look forward to a time when you can use it, and use it to access the interstellar market.

-Until that hoped for day, the presence of the Gate does not cost you anything, you do not pay for its construction and it does not impact on you in any way. It also does not present any risk. The time difference between an enemy fleet coming using a Hyperspace Fold Drive and a wormhole is negligible when concerning you, given that to get to you our most obvious threat, the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]], will have to cross the whole of the [[faction:Yamatai Star Empire]]. There is no practical reason why you should not permit a Gate in your system it will certainly allow us to help you more efficiently if something does go wrong and you are attacked.+Until that hoped for day, the presence of the Gate does not cost you anything, you do not pay for its construction and it does not impact on you in any way.
