Your Highness

Allow me to present myself, I am Lord Gilbert Beckett, scion of your family and lately Lord Protector of the Ethnic Cronese. We have formed an army to defend ourselves from the predactions of the Embarilite hosts who have so lately beset our people. I would like to pledge my allegiance to you, but neither I nor my people have any wish for evacuation to the Cronese Mandate, we want to stay and fight for our homes, we have no wish to "resettled" or become refugees living off charity.

We are here people of standing, we have worked for our land and built houses, even with your promises of great wealth and joy we cannot so lightly abandon the land our forefathers settled. I would like instead to propose a different course of action. I believe that the future would be much brighter if Embaril were to become part of the Cronese Mandate rather than the Allied Tion Sector.

I have the blood of Kings in my veins, and I would like to ask that you recognize me as King of Embaril, so as to demonstrate support for my people. I would also like to ask that you supply us with arms and armour so to better resist the barbarian hoardes which even now will be baying at our gates. I believe with myself as King, even with us being a minority, if we can unite under arms we will have something which the clans do not have, civilization, organisation and tactics. I am confident that 100 Cronese Riflemen are the equal of 10,000 of the Embarilite Barbarians. If you could see your way to securing the air and space above us, I know that we could make gains and within six months have burned the cities of the Embarilites and put them in service to us as bondsmen.

They are animals, but this is our planet, not theirs. We will not surrender it to them. We will never surrender. We will fight them with every last drop of blood we have until they are driven back to using stone tools and lurking in the forests where they belong.

Yours dutifully

Gilbert Beckett
Leader of the Cronese Justice Party
Lord of the Embarilite Cronese (Self Styled)
King of Embaril (Pretender)

The message was not passed onto Robeir on the decision of his primary aide, due in part that any information, backing, or weapons dealing with such a group could give the possibility of ruining the Mandate. For the moment the Mandate would remain neutral on this matter, still offering safe haven and aide to those Ethnic Cronese families on Embaril that wished to leave behind the blood shed for more peaceful worlds to settle down on.

Your Highness

Surely in our hour of need you would not abandon us? I look out from the belltower of our court house and all about the walls of my city I see the pillars of smoke and flame rise from our villages as the forces of the Clans approach. We are strong men, many of us Clone Wars veterans, but we are simply too few to resist the forces amassed against us.

Rumours abound that in every town the Embarilite clans take all the men women and children are murdered. Babies are ripped from the pregnant bellies of women and still you do not defend us. Is this not what your ships and armies are for my Lord? What is a Lord who does not defend his oathmen from attack. Please my Lord, consider your innocent people.

We expect the Clan armies will be at our walls tomorrow. We believe that perhaps we can hold them at the walls for some time for they are poorly equipped with armor needed to blast them down. If your help does not come, I have no doubt that you will be allowing our town to be slaughtered, with the loss of 23,000 Ethnic Cronese lives. You speak fine words about seeking to protect us but you do not act! Even if we wished to leave Embaril we could not do so, we do not have ships.

If we do die, it shall bring ignominy to your House. Every man who pays you homage will learn that his Lord does not honour his oaths. They will know that their Lord would leave them to die for political expediency. Perhaps on our grave there will be witten "Go tell the Cronese, Stranger passing by, that here, Obedient to their wishes, we lie." My family has ever been loyal to the House of Cron, I am sorry to see that our service and loyalty evidently means nothing to you.

Lord,

My people are dead. All who escaped were two score aboard my freighter. I will avenge myself on the Embarilites in time, if it is your will.

Myself, 12 retainers and 27 women and children. I would like to request asylum in the Cronese Mandate and regretfully must accept your offer of citizenship.

Yours Sincerely,

Gilbert Beckett
