With great remorse, we regret to inform you...

I received terrible news today. My parents are dead.I knew they were helping in humanitarian efforts with Thargoid War, but they assured me they were staying away from the front lines.
During efforts to rescue occupied escape pods, the fleet they were apart of were set upon by a large force of Thargoid Interceptors and Hunters. The fleet escaped, but many ships and lives were lost. My parents among the lost. I am stepping away from my work for a while to tend to my parents funeral arrangements and to get their estate and affairs in order.
I am not alone in my grief. Many good commanders that I personally know have lost someone they love. This war has taken countless more. Last estimates put the lost in the tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions. This war is no longer a news report for me; it's personal now. When I return to active duty, I will join the hunt to eradicate their kind once and for all.
