Somewhere in the evening hours, each of the leaders of the governments or companies which are currently controlled or regulated by the Jutraalian Empire find themselves with a blinking message indicator. When the message is activated it says..

"Greetings, I am Dark Lord Maim. I have been informed that you find yourself within the grasp of the Jutraalian Empire. Some of you may have chosen this, and if that is the case, you may delete this message now. However, if you had this thrust upon you or no longer wish to be under the thumb of a Tyrant such as Chadd Fearsons, here is what I offer.

Bring yourselves to me and my Empire and I shall offer you full asylum from the Jutraalian Empire. I will place you under our protection and see to it that your persecutors are brought to justice. If you wish to hear more about my offer, contact me privately and I shall never release your names if you decide to decline. Thank you for your time."

The message ends.

<font color=gray>The High Command of the Imperial Syndicate would wonder how the Dark Lord Maim can possibly offer protection from his leige, Chadd Fearsons.

While we do not doubt the Dark Lord's motives, we must inquire as to how the Ancient Sith Empire can hope to stave off a Jutraalian attack, should the Empire consider such actions.

Our operations are far more advanced than your Emperor realizes. However, this offer is not extended to you. You deface all that is right and true about the Empire and I spit upon your defilement of it's name.

[center]<font color=gray>Long live the Empire

You will not assume to tell us that Chadd Fearsons is our Emperor. The Syndicate has no love for Chadd Fearsons. Or for Rogue Sith Lords like yourself.

You stated yourself that Chadd Fearsons was your liege. I merely repeated it. Secondly, I am no Rogue Sith Lord. I am the Dark Lord of the Sith and Procurator of Justice of the New Order. The one and only true Galactic Imperial Remnant remaining. If you do not stand on the side of Chadd Fearsons and his Empire then swear now allegiance to the New Order and it's leadership and I shall petition them on your behalf for acceptance.

Isn't it lovely how the galaxy can be run by individuals who are, at once, both idiots and villains?

I also like how everyone is the sole remnant of the Empire. Funny, I could've sworn that the Empire was the brainchild of the Emperor, and -- for all records -- everyone else involved was his pawn. It's incredible how quickly the peons of a dispicable tyrant all go off on ego trips the minute a Jedi offs their master.

Dark Lord Maim. You associate yourself with an organization -- the Sith -- which is a self-professed force of evil, destruction, and oppression. Somehow, your offering "asylum" sounds to me like the coyote offering the sheep shelter from the wolf. Like sheep, though, you should never underestimate the stupidity of people, and the ability thereof to be lured by false promises and hefty contracts.

God love free market politics. Put capital and the economic welfare in the hands of the people, and they run it into the arms of Sith Lords.

Fucking sickening.

And the Imperial Syndicate is no better. You shove out the word "Rogue Sith" as if normal Sith are respectable, upright members of society. It never ceases to amaze me how you bunch can get up on a podium and shout about your glory, and then ally yourself with the aforementioned self-professed forces of evil, and start throwing out Imperial maxims about how the other factions in the galaxy who hold the exact same ideals as you are villainous scum.

Since you both seem so incompetant -- and content to wallow in the filth of your stupidity -- let me clarify a few things.

1) The Ancient Sith Empire has no alleigance to Chadd Fearsons. Either the High Command doesn't know what the word "leige" means, or they're just stupid. Probably both.
2) The Imperial Syndicate's High Command was suggesting that Fearsons is your "leige", Maim, not their's. Learn to read.

From these two misunderstandings, you two have both begun a pissing-contest which will no doubt end in innocent casualties. Nice work, assholes.

EDIT: Fixed sig.

<font color=gray>For the record, the Syndicate does not waste lives fighting fools like the Dark Lord. And Dark Lords of the Sith who fight to reenstate the glory of the Galactic Empire can be respected... to a certain degree.

Viryn Quell, your ignorance astounds. How you got hold of this communication held between two parties to begin with is beyond me. However, your involvement in this matter is both unwarranted and unwanted. Find your way into a dank hole in the outer rim and climb into it. People like yourselves are two afraid of what may happen to see what WILL happen.

The charade that you are a man of respectable wisdom or intent is a very thin one, to say the least. Even a child can see your true intent is only to slander the name of a hard working and loyal Imperial officer. I would expect no less from a rebel terrorist.

Why not come forward and be judged for your crimes, rebel traitor. If you do so now, perhaps you will be shown leniency. If not I am sure, sooner or later, you will be hunted down like a rabid bantha and put to sleep in much the same fashion. I have no time for the likes of you, Rebel Scum.

Now, as for you...

If you are attempting to create for yourself Imperial allies, you are going about it in much the wrong fashion. Insulting a high ranking Imperial Officer is not a wise way to go about such things. If you do, indeed, claim to be a part of the Galactic Empire then what you have just done would be called insubordination and to a degree which could warrant extreme imprisonment or even death.

In the future, perhaps you should choose your words more wisely?

<font color=gray>So the Dark Lord is indeed an officer of the Galactic Empire? Forgive me my ignorance, I was unaware. Any man who fights to bring the Empire back into the spotlight it a noble man indeed!

My apoligies, sir Maim.
