As it had years prior, his face popped up behind a podium as he made an address, “Citizens of the galaxy,” He began, his clipped and formal accent back in place for such a brief, “I am Altair Din, Grand Marshal of the Empire. I have returned to answer the call of duty in the wake of an Empire that has suffered countless aggressions.”
He paused before he continued, “I am here to remind the galaxy that we will not be erased so easily. We have been in the midst of wars on multiple fronts and so will take swift action to mitigate. First and foremost, we hereby declare a ceasefire with the Jedi. With the onslaught of abominations and other such aggressors in the galaxy for which the Jedi are best equipped, the Empire will not engage them on a second front.”
His eyes narrowed as he spoke next, “Secondly, we will stop any further aggression against the Sith. The Empire had removed both Darth Andruil and the entity known as Darth Raze. However, it is clear the galaxy has seen fit to keep us alienated and turn a blind eye to the suffering of our citizens,” Distastes poured into his tone, “We will not clean up the galaxy’s problems any further. Our war with the Sith is over.”
Altair plugged two Imperial bleeding wounds right then, “Through these trying times, let us remember that we stand as one. The Empire has withstood countless threats to its freedom, prosperity and identity. We will weather these storms just as we have during our wars with the Consortium. Just as we had through the schism with the Sith. We will rally and we will hold fast against any that threaten us.”
