INS Press Release - The battle of Bilbringi - The Mid-Rim Protectorate responds
"We now take you live to where the governer of the Mid-Rim protectorate, Park Kraken, stands to address the proud citizens of the New Order." said the anchorman at the news desk.
The view shifted to show the emblem of the New Order, then faded away as the camera in front of the military headquarters building on Vladet came into view. In front of the building was an erected stage on which several prominent leaders of this area of the Empire were standing, chief among them the governer and vice-admiral of the sector, Park Kraken.
"Citizens of the Galatic Empire, I come to you today to be the bearer of bad news and what it means for the Galatic Empire."
"Earlier today, the Galatic Coalition attacked the world of Bilbringi. This attack was unprovoked, and like the last war in which the Coalition attacked Corellia, will not go unpunished. I come to announce to you today that I will personally lead a campaign against the Galatic Coalition with the intention of once and for all taking from them the ability to construct the machines of death that they seek to bring us to ruin with."
"With this announcement, I will bide you farewell. Should I not return, I ask that you not grieve for me, for although I may be your leader, I am but one person amongst many loyal Imperial officers who will lead our Empire into the future."
"Now then, let us sit back and enjoy the Galatic Anthem of the New Order, as the army marches off to war."
The governer then stood back from the podium, and straightened himself to military standing attention, along with the other officers present. He then offered up a salute, as the first lines of a legion of Imperial stormtroopers began marching by on the asphalt below. Shadows were cast along the city as Imperial battlecruisers drifted by in lower orbit. Flights of TIE Defenders and bombers flew in formations of four apiece throughout the area surrounding Grand Isle. Then the Imperial Anthem began to play;
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
The New Order has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Imperial land!
CHORUS:
Sing to the Galatic Empire, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Regent Hyfe, the strength of the people,
To Imperialism's triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where Regent Hyfe lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
CHORUS
In the victory of Imperialism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering dark and grey banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
CHORUS
With the anthem over and the lines of stormtroopers coming to a halt, the governer once again took to the podium.
"I ask of you, the citizens of the Empire on this glorious day, to support us as we drive forth and defeat the enemies of our prosperous union. To all of you Imperial soldiers and comrades, I say to you, good luck on your mission. Gloria Imperium."
