"People of the Galactic Alliance, I am afraid I bear grim news. The Imperial Knights are not your allies, nor your friends. They are the scared, the few. The manipulating.
"They do not wish for peace, but war. When the Sith took over the Empire, the Imperial Knights fled, too weak to stop the coup d'etat. However, it's not as severe as you've been lied to by the Imperial Knights. The Empire, before the Sith took control, was under the leadership of a man named Luthor Elyurius. I am afraid to disappoint you by informing you that the real Luthor Elyurius died as an infant. The Emperor we disposed was an imposter erected by the Imperial Knights in order to gain control of the Empire from the true heir, Aevelus Elyurius. You heard correctly, the Sith did not take what was not there's, but reclaimed what was theirs to begin with that the Imperial Knights stole.
The Imperial Knights were sore about this, and plotted to take back the Empire. Luckily, the Knight-Commander, Iona Peller, was a sensible woman. She realized they had lost, their deception useless, and had decided to leave the Empire alone. However, a vile usurper named Bellatrix La Rouge came into play. She tricked Iona Peller and Aevelus Elyurius' successor, Darth Judicar, into a trap, which cost the former her life and the latter his throne. You see, this vile woman, this temptress, sacrificed her own leader in attempt to dethrone Judicar and take the throne for her greedy self.
However, the brave Darth Exodeus took action to stop the sinister Imperial Knights and took control of the Empire to prevent it from being soiled by the Imperial Knights once again. And so the Imperial Knights, now under the control of Bellatrix La Rouge, sought other ways to gain back the Empire.
Do you know what they choose? War. War to strip the Sith from the Empire so they could reclaim that which isn't theirs. However, they knew they couldn't fight the Empire themselves, so they sought to manipulate someone else into fighting for them.
First they choose the Mandalorians, as these nomadic warriors of honors had territory that stabbed straight into the heart of the Empire. However, their attempts to meet with the Mandalore in person and use the Force to seduce Mandalore into war failed, so they tried other measures. Mandalorians, I speak to you directly. Months ago, one of your own was kidnapped and sold to the Empire. However, though you may suspect the kidnapper to be Death Watch, it was not. It was the Imperial Knights. They kidnapped your brethren and sent him to the Empire in hopes you would go to war to rescue him. However, their plan was thwarted. The hostage was freed by the cutting of a deal.
Still, the Empire learned that the Imperial Knights were in contact with the Mandalorians and feared for the worse. Listen to me, Mandalorians: The Empire forced you out of your home, your territory, because of the Imperial Knights' influences. They didn't want to, but couldn't risk you striking at the heart of our majestic and noble Empire. Because the Imperial Knights were getting closer to manipulating you, the Empire had no choice but to take drastic measures. However, the Empire chose mercy. It let you leave with your lives, whereas had we been warped by fear, would have slaughtered every man, woman, and child. The Sith are not what you once knew. We have grown. We have matured.
Now, after much research, we've learned that the Imperial Knights also sought to manipulate the Galactic Alliance and its Jedi into warring with the Sith, as the Sith and Jedi have been at qualms for so long, despite our attempts for the last nine years to create peace between the once hostile orders. Luckily, you noble Jedi were determined to stay pacifistic. Grandmaster Beric Karasun and Chief of State Valafar Lamartine stood in their way.
Let us remember what happened. Both left. I shall tell you why. When Lamia Kressh was arrested on Sarka, she revealed to the Empire before her violent escape that the Imperial Knights had visited Beric Karasun and began to corrupt him with the Dark Side. This has happened in the past too, when Grandmaster Banik Kelrada went insane millennia ago. The Imperial Knights did the same, causing Berik to crack. The first wall had been breached.
On Ubuuga, where the Imperial Knights once held an estate, we found strange plantlife around the Pallopides Estate. These flowers are called Broken Heart, and there's a more vile reason behind the name than just the shape of the pink petals. The roots, when powdered and digested, can cause heart failure. We discovered that, after much research, that caviar was delivered from Ubuuga to Coruscant that had been spiked with the powdered roots of Broken Hearts. Do you know who ate this delicacy? The one given the meal as a gift: Valafar Lamartine. Luckily, your Chief of State survived the encounter, but he resigned, allowing for a new war-happy Chief of State to take his place. The second wall had been breached.
Still, the Jedi are passive in wars, and require a reason to go to war. The Imperial Knights tried twice. First, they used the corrupted Grandmaster, Beric Karasun, to send Jedi to Tanaab where Sith were waiting. I tell you this from our files: We were given a tip that Jedi would be on Tanaab. After investigating later, we found that the person responsible for the tip was Bellatrix La Rouge. She sold out the Jedi so the Jedi would go to war in retaliation.
However, the Jedi did not go to war over Tanaab and Beric became uncontrollable to the Imperial Knights and thus the Imperial Knights' mole, the manipulator of Beric, a feline named Daisuke, decided to instigate a coup. The Grandmaster left the Jedi Order, and thankfully Daisuke did not make Grandmaster, though he did join the Jedi Council. It was Daisuke who would try to urge for war, but other Jedi Councilors outvoted him.
Thus, the second attempt came. Through intelligence gained by Daisuke, the Imperial Knights used their stealth fighters and flagship, the Excalibur, to destroy what you hold dear: the Will of the Force. The people call us evil, yet they slaughtered thousands of Jedi so to get the Galactic Alliance and Jedi to fight their war. Despite all your accusations, the Sith did not attack your mobile academy.
Thus, finally, rage began to fill the Galactic Alliance. They had succeeded. Hatred was brewing against the wrong people. War was issued against us, and in response, the Empire was forced to respond, as to protect its citizens from the violence from war, to protect its boarders. Remember, the Empire did not declare war first, the Galactic Alliance did. We had no choice but to do the same. We tried to send emissaries to resolve the issue, but they were killed. At first, the Empire believed the Alliance killed them, but now we suspect the Imperial Knights killed them to silence any of our attempts to avoid war.
Now, the Galactic Alliance stayed put for a while. They were taking things slow, and no doubt the Imperial Knights got impatient. So they orchestrated another blow to the Jedi. They did this by locating a rogue Jedi and bringing her to Coruscant where they dentonated a bomb at the Coruscant temple. The two Councilors who had opposed Daisuke's urges for war perished, as did Daisuke, to their dismay. Now do you see how messed up the Imperial Knights were? Their leader was willing to sacrifice her life just to return the Imperial Knights to power. Daisuke was a coward, and wouldn't do it himself, so Bellatrix La Rouge had to. Did you ever think how could a bomb pass through security? It was because Daisuke snuck it pass. I guess the Imperial Knights decided Daisuke was a lost cause, and that's why he died too. Either way, both Imperial Knights agents and two martyred Jedi Councilors died in the explosion.
Lecchaememnon came into power after the Will's destruction, and with those two Councilors out of the way, could exercise his will to war with the Sith. According Ileana Al-I mean our agent, Lecchaememnon was in league with the Imperial Knights, as he knew where to find the Imperial Knights' headquarters were already. Lecchaememnon urged for war, but when the Empire struck the Imperial Knights' headquarters and their base on Ubuuga, Lecchaememnon must have begun to become squimish. If you recall, not even a month later he disappeared, forcing Grandmaster Jhon Cordatus to take the helm. I no doubt that Lecchaememnon is either in hiding or with the Imperial Knights now.
When the Empire was forced to take extreme action and force the Mandalorians out, which we apologize for and plan to return your territory once this war is over, our agent on the inside revealed that the Imperial Knights were displeased the Mandalorians didn't fight back and go to war. So they sought to anger us and breed tensions between us and the Mandalorians.
How did they do this, you ask? They paid a spy of theirs, a man named Nick Nax, to plant a Mandalorian helmet filled with explosives on Citadel Station that orbits Telos IV. You see, unbeknownst to many of you, the Chiss and Empire had sent several dignitaries to Citadel Station for a conference. This conference, hosted by Moff Xinn, had a goal of reaching out to the Galactic Alliance once again and end all hostilities. The bomb dentonated, killing several Imperial and Chiss delegates. It is why the Chiss Ascendancy is riled up right now. They believe the Mandalorians killed their ambassadors, one being the Imperator's uncle. The Empire, in anger, was about to retaliate, but they began to grow suspicious.
This suspicion grew into the investigation that obtained what I just revealed to all of you. It is why we have not attacked since Salecaumi. We've been busy trying to find the truth.
And the truth of the matter is that the Imperial Knights are manipulating us into war for their own benefit. They don't care who they sacrifice, whether it be Mandalorians, the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi, the Luminado, the Chiss Ascendancy, the Systems Commonwealth, the NCIS, the Exchange, or even the Hutts. Once, the Sith only cared about domination and Imperial Knights fought to prevent that, but the tides have changed. The roles are reversed. The Imperial Knights care little about you and wish you to sacrifice your lives, your resources, to put them into power that they do not have a right to.
I tell you this, because I feel it is necessary. The Empire won't tolerate being manipulated by the Imperial Knights any longer, whether from their false Emperors to being manipulated from the shadows. It must stop. This war must stop. Please, I urge you, the listeners, to heed my warning. Do not let the Imperial Knights control you, use you.
May the truth be with you.
May the Force be with you.
