'News when you need it most.'

Early this morning, regular broadcasts were interrupted by Governor Omry from his home on Bosa. "Your pitiful rebellion and dedication to a defunct religion borne by traitors and outlaws will be short lived. Upon my request, an entire fleet is on it's way and will crush your world and all that you stand for will be lost to time. Glovan will be added to a list of delusional civilisations that couldn't find it in themselves to be loyal. Your women and children will be enslaved while your men's bones rot in the ashes that was once your world. I call King Debrann to surrender and all of the Glovanian military to lay down their arms before it's too late. This offer will end at 1500 this afternoon. If I do not receive your pledge of fealty to the Emperor, then you will be destroyed."

People stood in stunned silence at cafe's and bars around the capitol as the regular programming resumed. Not long after this interruption, King Debrann emerged on his terrace overlooking the tall statue of his grandfather. "I've conferred with my counselors and gave this decision a great deal of thought. Are we to live our lives as puppets? Is all that our ancestors fought and died to preserve worthless? Can we toss aside our own identity and allow these people to come to our homes and tell our children how to think? I think not. I've sent my response to the Governor just a moment ago. I told him that the sons of Glovan will fight this tyranny until our last breath. There will be no peace for his Emperor who knows nothing of our principles and apparently doesn't have the heart to come and lead his own men himself. Against the wishes of my war council, my sons have each joined the military to fight in not only my name, but also beside your sons, fathers and uncles to preserve who we are. I say, let them come! Our men and women will show the Empire what we're made of and the recent victories over their Army and Navy are but a taste of what we're capable of."

A recent revelation from the Department of Labor stated this morning that companies stretching around the world have been hard at work at developing space capable craft for over eight years. Fighters and support craft as well as Customs Frigates have been hidden on the world of Sassari. "We've kept this hidden from COMPNOR and ISB for some time now," Sir Evan, Baron of Bandon revealed this morning. "I've been working with Sassarian engineers and scientists to reverse engineer the Headhunter, Y-Wing and the Customs Frigates that the Empire gave us some years back. Some of those vehicles were used in the recent battle with the Troop Line they sent against us last night and proved how effective they are."

Count Regan, commander of the fighter wing of the 1st ADF was also praised and awarded the Order of Lurync by Prince Geron at a private ceremony. "He and his pilots have proven time and again why my father is confident in victory. They've given of themselves and kept secret their presence until the time was right. The count endured public criticism from the late Lyle Irnic and silently smiled in the face of that evil puppet while building a strong base to strike back at the invaders. I'm proud of he and his men and look forward to defending our system when this fleet arrives."
