BREAKING NEWS: WAR
Glo’tharius Smith (CPIN Live! Anchor): Good evening. This is CPIN Local!, and I’m Glo’tharius Smith. We interrupt regular programming for a special report from the Serroco system, where the Chiss Ascendancy government has just launched its first military operation outside of its borders. We now take you live to the Ventuorous where Grand Syndic Cong is about to address the Ascendancy.
Sons and daughters of Csilla—hear me!
This is not a speech. This is not a ceremony. This is a declaration.
For too long we lived under foreign chains, held beneath the boot of the so-called New Republic.
They came as liberators. They ruled as thieves. They smiled as they strangled us.
They took Csilla. They humiliated our leaders. They burned our economy. They installed aliens … Aliens! … to govern our people.
And they dared to call it peace.
While our people suffered in Lesser Space, denied access to their birth right, denied their right to return. Peace?!
Our culture was ripped from the archives and replaced with foreign doctrine! Our sovereignty was mocked in every corner of the galaxy!
But the Chiss do not forget. We remember. And now we answer.
Today, the Expansionary Defense Fleet launched Operation Concord Spear, and we fight with our Imperial Union allies to stamp out New Republic remnants in a blockade of Serroco.
Let cowards say we’ve broken neutrality! Let them hiss and whimper from their fortresses and comfort!
Where were they when Csilla was colonized by the New Republic? When our traditions were stifled? When our voice was silenced? We suffered for a generation.
They stood by. We have not forgotten.
We do not fight for conquest. We fight because we still live. We fight to remain free!
Our war ships are not borrowed. They are forged in our own shipyards.
Our officers do not kneel. They are sworn to the Ascendancy.
Our cause is not for Lesser Space alien approval. It is for our liberation.
We are the fire that endures. We are the vengeance of a wounded people.
We are the Chiss Ascendancy. We rise in power.
This is our time. This is our reawakening. This is our war of freedom.
Ch’ah csah ch’at csehi’bah. We act for the Ascendancy.
Ch’ah bah ch’at ver’in. We rise from the grave.
Ch’ah tuhn ch’at csar’aha’ci. We remember the wound
Ch’ah k’elar ch’at ch’elahn’aci. We act for our liberation!”
Glo’tharius Smith: We will continue tracking this breaking news, but for now, we take you back to the preview of Season 7 of Boloball. For CPIN LIVE, I’m Glo’tharius Smith. Good night.
