[Chancellor Dewa Lanadi]

"The Veolian Commonwealth votes in favour of a declaration of war."

[Senator Ght'Twwf of the Socialist Republic of Niom]

The Socialist Republic of Niom votes in favour of option A."

[Senator Ardios Eldrilith]

"The Praetorian Empire votes option A."

[Atheos]

"The Astai Republic votes option A."

[Senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton of the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons]

"The Divine Fiefdom of Highmons sadly acknowledges the necessity of a vote for option A"

[Holy Heimgolian Theocracy (mask of Mercury)]

Holy Heimgolian TheocracyHeimgol votes for option A

[Senator Odakim V of the Rising Suns of Deominius]

"Naturally Deominius votes in favour of option A. We look forward to seeing the Union Fleets - which we have arranged to be suitably named in an intimidating manner - score victory over our enemies. No doubt any naysayers against our plans at the time will soon see the error of their ways and acknowledge our wisdom, once they see our victories!"

[Senator Acehtoo of the Miomanian Colonists]

"This unprovoked attack by the Slave Rebellion goes against everything we believe in. We vote option A."

[Senator Standro of the Confederacy of Excaria]

"The only complaint we have about this motion is that it is necessary to have it. We fully support this and vote option A."

[Senator Salixa of the Silver Forests of Remunzia]

Remunzia had no presence during this vote.

((OOC: The absence of the Senator is not due to security or the likes, but is a deliberate political action, because the Senator feels Remunzia could never vote in favour of a war due to their principal beliefs, but at the same time, she cannot vote against it, or abstain given the circumstances, so by being absent she is trying to avoid the matter, unless someone wishes to force the issue.))

[Chancellor Dewa Lanadi]

"Fourteen of the fourteen votes are in favour of declaring war."

"We are now officially at war with the Slave Rebellion.", the senator said with a somewhat dry voice. Those that know her for a while will no doubt notice that this was her 'why do I even need to do this' voice.
