THE EMPIRE SHALL SUFFER THE FEDERATION NO MORE

"History has proven that the best way to deal with an insufferable entity is to not only remove it from your view but to utterly and irrevocably wipe the pestilence from existence. The Federation has meddled in our politics for far too long and it is time that they pay dearly with their lives and the lives of their citizens and supporters."

UPDATE: SUPPORT OUR FORCES IN LTT 1935. The Imperial L.Y.S. AGENTS need our help to secure control in the system, enabling the Imperial Navy root out the Marlinist scum hiding there.

A Personal Background:



My introduction to the Galactic superpower called the Federation was as you might have guessed not in a very good light. I was six years old and my governess; the Lady Memmia Salonina, was reading to me in our underground garden in the Canfeda District of Chanter, Primi 4, when she arrived at a chapter describing an Imperial Merchant whose name, I have sadly forgotten, who was imprisoned aboard a Federal Corvette for attempting to gain entry to Imperial Space and sell himself as a slave. The merchant had been robbed by a crew member aboard the vessel and was left with nothing except a refined bar of SERENDIBITE which he hoped to trade in exchange for safe passage to Kikua. One of the leading commanders aboard the Corvette heard about the merchant's plan to sell himself as a slave and immediately placed him under arrest for being a 'degenerate'. Those Federal nincompoops in their ignorance had denied the man his basic right to seek the protection of a richer house and be given another chance to prove his worth not only as an imperial citizen but as a human being in general. In their vanity, they had denied him his freedom, his right to start over and his plans to start over from scratch. He committed suicide before they could eject him from the airlock.

It is the Federation's wish ever since the inception of the Empire to place us under their control as they cannot stand the radiance of our Imperial Majesty. The Federation is mostly ruled by scrupulous corporations whose money-grubbing leaders secretly desire the opulence and prosperity of their Imperial counterparts. They fail to comprehend that the reason why the Empire is so much better is because every citizen is awarded the chance to become something greater than themselves. Imperials are not mindless drones working tirelessly to fund the pockets of ever-expanding corporations that give nothing back to their communities except to drive people from their homes when they cannot make rent while failing to provide the amenities necessary for their eventual rehabilitation into human society. They cannot stand to see our citizens so free and thus meddle in our politics, hoping one day to destabilize the fundamentals that make the Empire so great.

The greatest example of this was the shameless coup funded by the Federation in 2996 to take over the Ackwada system. Emperor Gaylen Trasken Duval effectively suppressed this foolishness after which he did what every one of his forebears and descendants did (when it comes to the Federation Problem) and that was to avoid taking the fight to Federation command systems. in 3098, an irrelevant governor of Tau Ceti was assassinated and the Federal press was quick to blame the Empire for his demise hoping to start a war. The Federation have obviously forgotten the last time they attempted to wage war upon us which was in the Great Battle of Liberation in the year 2325 where they were utterly defeated by the forces of Emperor Henson Duval in Achenar.

And now these pesky rats have struck again with the recent revelation that they might have had a hand in the foundation and militarization of the NMLA insurrectionists. The Federation is responsible for the death of our civilians that burned alive in those targetted stations, the Federation is responsible for the untold amount of death that ensued in the battles to stamp out the NMLA, the Federation is responsible for the expulsion of Marlinist enthusiasts who until now were a tolerable bunch of raggedy rabble wishing for republican days that never were merely because they cannot function in proper society. The Federation is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF PRINCE HAROLD DUVAL. The Empire shall suffer their meddling no more and an open call for war grows across the Empire. It was after all the Federation who declared war against humanity and we shall respond in accord.

Thank you.
