Brothers and Sisters,
Over the past few cycles the Union struck a heroic blow against the Ska menace. Six great engines of oppression were taken away from the enemy in the Empire Pardus Contingent. A Union fleet, supplemented by Federal forces, struck the sector of Heze. Almost simultaneously a wholly Union fleet attacked Procyon. Heze now exists as a liberated sector and in Nari the citizens of Nari two have taken so well to the freedom of Union rule that in just a few weeks these industrious people have built their first Scorpion at the Nari II Fleet yards. Some day a Son of the Union will defend you with a battleship made in what was formerly the playground of the emperor and his sick minions.
We are now fighting the Empire in their territory instead of ours.
But the fight is not over.
As I broadcast the emperor marshals his forces. Now is your time. We have received intelligence that garrisons in the Keldon core will be redeployed to bases in the Pardus Cluster and Pardus Rim clusters. Now it is the time to rise up and throw off the Ska'ari oppressors. Your local cell commanders will be contacted by our operatives. But they can only lead the way. You must take the initiative. You must be the agent of your own liberation.
We will take the pressure off. We will make the emperor cast his eye some place else. Take back what is yours. Take back your birthright. You, my brothers and sisters, are the ones who brought this great age of discovery to the galaxy. The Ska'ari will trample on your legacy no longer. For they are shrewd mathematicians, faced with a two front war out in the galaxy and a bloody insurgency behind their own lines, they will take any bargain they can get. We are not required to kill every one of them, we must only beat them back until clutching our homes in their pincers is not worth the pain.
Tonight, after you send your hatchlings to sleep, gaze up at the stars. Find Sirius and know that we are there. Find the star Procyon and know that we are there. Now look upon your own horizon on whatever world you live, and know that we are there too.
As always, check your usual drops.
Dog star no star.
Dog star no star.
Rocking chairs rock empty in the empire.
Rocking chairs rock empty in the empire.
