Once again, the Galaxy bears witness to our latest demonstration. The people of the Empire keep a strong tradition of politeness and celebration, preferring to see most aspects of the Galaxy survive rather than die, but we are under no illusion that the latter is avoidable. Another faction will doom itself by wronging us, the destruction of Darkwater Inc will not have been a sufficient example, and we will tear apart our enemies while considering a single, solemn lament: would that it had.
To those who would trespass our sovereignty or disturb our way of life—you think you have a plan for escape, but you fail to understand the Empress fully when she says that you have no place to hide. There is no system to which you can flee, no law which you can invoke, no disguise you can wear, and no bodyguard who can protect you. There are no barriers of any form behind which to cower.
One word, and you will be consumed by the fire of a thousand stars. One word, and you will be consigned eternally to the Dark Abyss. Cross not our Empress, for she has but to speak your wretched name.
