<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> A figure stand behind a stained greel-wood podium, the Rogue Imperial Banner draped down the wall in the background. Flanking the figure are the ubiquitous Inquisitoriate Guards, their Fleet trooper uniforms typical, with red pipping and emblems.

The figure himself is the Grand Inquisitor himself, donning standard red tunic and black breeches. His red-above-black ank bar was immaculate, as was his uniform as a whole and the jackboots that accompanied it.

" I am Rear Admiral Viscount Ierin del Forza, Grand Inquisitor of the Rogue Empire.

" According to His Majesty's Decree XJ-11245, I have been made official spokesman for our Emperor.

" In this capacity, I advise you of the Emperor's condition. I have an official report from Captain Arrivn Maraani, the Emperor's personal physician, stating: while critical, the Emperor will retain all faculties. His mental state is in no repute. Physically, he will require some time to convalesce before being cleared for state business."

" It should be noted on the galactic stage of a change of appearance for the Rogue Empire. No longer shall we be referred to as the Rogue Empire. We are discarding this horribly intimated title in place of something more suting us.

" As Despayrian Legend has, the primary moon, Jutraal, has been the source of much speculation and is mentioned in every myth of note. It is with that, as said is our capital,that we officially change our callsigns to the Jutraalian Empire.

" This order comes from the Emperor.

" It shall be done.

" On the topic of state business, our peace with the Imperial New Order is slated to continue as planned. However,

" It is with a heavy heart that I announce the weakening of our beloved Jilaeek Station. It is currently being vacuated due to a massive leak. The nature and cause of this are unknown, as no inspectors are able to get to the infected area. All personnel are evacuating the system with all dispatch. Ships and transports have begun moving to edge of the Imperial Abolisher fields and leaving as quickly as possible. Any ship in the vicinity is warned: the explosion that is expected will damage or destroy you.

" The Jutraalian Empire appreciates the lack of fire exchange upon those diplomaic staffing and personnel fleeing the station.

" A new day is dawning in the history of the galaxy. With the help of its inhabitants and citizens, we hope to make this day a memorable one. Lit in the light of peace....not darkened by the clouds of war."
