From the office of Senator Wagar. Top Secret.
Dear Patrons, Citizens,
The Federation would have you believe that they were the aggrieved party in the recent, widely reported, altercation between our two powers.
We are aware of Federation propaganda in the form of a widely circulated 'combat video' which has been cunningly contrived to make the Empire appear as the aggressor. The truth, naturally, is somewhat different.
By carefully reconstructing events we are now able to present the true nature of the conflict. Needless to say, a different tale emerges; one of callous treachery and underhanded machinations.
Obviously we expect little else from the Federation.
Join the Reclamation Citizens, the time is now. We present the truth of the matter.
In his glorious name,
Senator Drew Wagar, Prism System.
