Fear is a Disease

This subspace transmission is being beamed behind empire lines piggybacked on a Yildunese Financial News broacast to avoid the jamming net:

Brothers and Sisters,

The first days of the war were black for us. Though we fought valiantly the forces of the emperor took advantage of our youngness and stuck a blow in Cebece. We could have hung our heads low. We could have started pointing fingers at one another. We could have succumbed to the fear that maybe we were wrong.

You would not let us. You are out there cut off, alone, and surrounded by enemies. Your fight to free the sister grandmothers, and all their children, inspires us.

So, though we were beaten on that day we were not defeated. We rallied. We regrouped. We Patched our hulls. Then we forced our will upon the empire. We have made great strides in reclaiming our rightful territory in the East Pardus Rim. The Ska'ari occupation of Diphda has been crushed, opening the floodgates of commerce and information from the Union Rashkir core.

Finally, in a fine example of Union military superiority, we breeched the military outposts that the Ska have set up to keep you cut off from the rest of the galaxy. Once this was achieved our forces flowed in to inflict immeasurable damages on Ska assets in the Keldon core. With them they have brought tidings of hope. Look for your drops in the usual places.

So finally brothers and sisters, do not let fear infect you. Know that our eye is never far from you. Also know that when the time comes, those of you who are brave enough to stand up now and fight the invertebrate oppressors will be counted. Your will inspires us. I pray that our resolve inspires you.

Ackbar sings a sad sad song.

The humans call them elephants.
