[Star Wars] I am a formerly Republican, now Separatist Senator during the Clone Wars and one of the other Senators is proposing a bill to invade a planet protected by a Republican treaty. How should I act?

Recently, I have joined the Separatist Alliance, not because I wanted to but more out of necessity.

My people were starving and the Republic Senate did not convince me that they could send help on time. Currently, one of my fellow Senators is proposing a bill to invade a neutral planet. That planet, located in the Outer Rim, is unique because of its culture and technology - being several thousand years behind the rest of the galaxy. It is a part of an experiment conducted by my species in the past.As such, it is protected by a Republic Senate Treaty that does not allow any legal contact with the planet.

However, it is known that the planet harbors resources valuable for the Droid Army, lowering the cost and increasing the production. Morally, I don't think that it would be good for the Separatists to invade the planet since it would disrupt its natural development but economically I realize that this act would only benefit my people. How should I vote?

Well as a member of the Confederacy, you should realise that you are no longer bound by the Republic's treaties. Also, as an Outer Rim world, it is already likely under the jurisdiction of the Confederacy, whether they know it or not.

Your dilemma seems to be based mainly around a legal system you have chosen not to recognise, a treaty governing territory that is not held by the legal system you do not recognise.

As far as the ethics of the use of resources, did you consult the trees on said planet before you colonised (though more appropriately *abandoned settlers* there)? No? Then why should the Confederacy consult the natives now?
