Andruil once again appeared on the holonet screen. Last time she had reached out with an olive branch, but now things had changed. The galaxy was a different place and everyone had shown their hands.
Citizens of the galaxy, the last time I stood before you I offered a path to peace. I extended an olive branch to the nations of the Galactic Senate. I even went so far as to depose the Eternal and solidify the power of the Sith under a new and progressive banner.
The footage cut away from her and to the dead Felucians that lay in their fields and in the jungles surrounding the Sith base. Many had risen up against the invading members of the FWA and the Jedi and been subsequently slain in the fighting.
In return, the combined forces of FWA worlds and their Jedi attack dogs have continued to invade a world that entered the Sith peacefully and through diplomacy in exchange for protection from pirates that have plagued them for decades. They prospered like they haven't in years. The FWA and Jedi never lifted a finger to help them before until they saw an opportunity to attack the Sith in the name of "liberty."
The image cut back to the Sith Lord and the face of disgust she had at the hypocrisy she had just described. Ask yourself who among you knew that you were being dragged into a war? Prime Minister did you authorize war? You, citizen of the FWA, did you know or agree to be dragged into a war that didn't involve you? The best thing about it, was that every word she had spoken was true. Not a hint of deceit in it.
Perhaps my idealism couldn't see that conflict with the FWA was inevitable as they continue to support the Jedi in their war and then cry "foul" when someone strikes them back. What is truly appalling, however, is that the New Republic - a nation all-but-untouched by this war and with whom we desired no conflict - has spat on the hand of friendship offered and launched an attack on Denon, aiming to starve out its citizens.
Footage cut once again to Denon and those caught in the invasion. Shots were of the worst of the fighting where portions of ships that had been shot down in orbit had slammed into homes of innocent people, the last footage to escape on social media before the New Repubilc cut everyone off. The shot cut to ships that now sat in orbit, cutting off the innocent families just seen moments before.
Firrerre was only the beginning. It opened its doors willingly to the Jedi, and worlds that do so will continue to burn, she said. She knew that her spies had already begun to alter navigational buoys and other interstellar travel records to show large quantities of Jedi activity in the area. With the planet's populace areas reduced to little more than rubble and its surface turned to glass, refuting her claim would be exceedingly difficult, and at worst would turn to a "he said, she said scenario." The thing that Andruil had going for her that the other side did not was the heavy emphasis and abundance of evidence of the war being primarily centered around the Jedi and Sith.
We will fight for the security and safety of our people at any cost, and we will give them protection. Denon, you are not forgotten and you will be avenged. Those on the verge of being consumed by this war would be wise to consider their position. Our war is with the Jedi and your "Free World Alliance" has chosen to side with them. Can you afford to remain in such a reckless organization?
The New Republic and FWA have chosen war, so I will give it to them.
