Grand Admiral Daal appeared on the holonet. He was visibly drained from the events of the past days, but he looked as an indomitable bastion of power. He spoke, not too fast, not too slow, with deliberation and concern.
"Over the past two days, the Mandalorian Empire has assaulted and taken Kuar and Bandomeer, which constitutes not only a penetration on our Empire's frontiers', but an assault on Imperial territory. Both of these planets have fallen to the Mandalorians not out of a lack of Imperial response, but because nobody expected an invasion by the part of our ally.
Also, you may have heard rumours that the Supreme Commander John Hammond is currently missing. He is Not. I repeat, the Supreme Commander is not missing. He is in a very weakened state in Salanda, of the Imperial Coalition, and will remain in their care until he is fit to be moved.
Due to these events, and as a consequence of the lack of communication with the Mandalorian, I hereby declare our pact of friendship anulled until some means of making amends is found. Diplomatic channels are, for the moment, held open, but our navy is already preparing for a strong retaliatory attack against the Mandalorian Empire.
On a final note, the Empire remains strong, and united. All forces should be on the alert, and the population in general should be prepared to defend their homes from any invaders. The Galactic Empire Armed Forces pledge to protect you from any violence that may occur, and, while we wish to avoid a war due to misunderstandings, we will be ruthless in our dealing with an enemy who stabs us in the back.
May the Force be with You All. "
