The Empress had seen the news about Mon Cala's decision to withdraw itself from the FWA and hopefully from the foolish pact it had with Lothal. When she'd heard the news, she was overjoyed. She was less joyed about the circumstances surrounding the decision, but nothing in life was perfect. The Mon Cala were not only a formidable world but also one with leaders who seemed reasonable.
Before she'd even had time to create a formal response and start mounting assistance, someone was foolish enough to get on the holonet and put a face to the evil that had been done. What was intended to be a great threat simply put a target on his head.
She took a seat behind her desk, the holonet camera focusing in as the the reporter counted down on his fingers.
And they were live.
It is with heavy heart that I address you all tonight. Some time ago, I had the opportunity to meet King Le'Fam and Commander @Jal Widase of the Mon Cala people. I was impressed by their resolve and love for their people and have since watched the path the Mon Cala have taken with hope that one day our peoples might be at peace.
I refuse to let that hope crumble under the threats of a terrorist and murderer. I know firsthand the threats posed by the Syndicates and the Empire stands behind Mon Cala as it seeks to rebuild, she said. It was no secret that the Empire had had its scuffles with the Syndicates before. The conflict and subsequent death of Preef Callo on Eriadu and the Imperial attack on Syndicate assets on Kafrene had both been covered in the media in their day.
I commend the efforts being made by ISCRA and would like to add the resources of the Empire to their efforts. Should Mon Cala require a place for refugees, food, medical supplies, or anything else, the Empire would be happy to provide, she said. Whether the Mon Cala people or @Galek Ordalos would actually take her up on that offer remained to be seen. She would not send ships without an invitation lest it appear the Empire was attempting some sort of invasion, but the offer of help was not an empty one.
As for the terrorists who mounted this effort, the Empire will pay five million credits to the party responsible for turning @Gareth Gin over to the Mon Cala people for justice, she said, pausing before making her closing statement.
The people of Mon Cala stand with the entire galaxy behind them regardless of government, creed, or belief. You are not alone in your struggle. It is my hope that you may rebuild swiftly and prosper once again.
