There is little wonder that the CIS has been reduced to this, a litter of scrabbling pups, all clamouring for their share of the glory but totally unwilling to think practically or within reason. Go, fling yourself upon the nearest uninhabited world, or into the volcanoes of Mustafar for all I care. I have no time for those with no heart or mind for this sort of action. And before long, I'll deem you all unnecessary to this cause, all the produce of the effluence of Palpatine's back-wash from when he strode in, cleansed us of our greatest minds, and left us to rot in the filth.

If not united, then we are nothing. So which will it be? United? Or simple dregs?

There is a point, in any investment, where you realise that you have no chance to reach success and so cut your losses.. I propose you do the same here, abandon this anachronistic cause and seek either redemption or isolation from Palpatine's Galaxy we must pick one or the other.. the only third option is utter destruction in a fruitless cause.. Why seek to continue a lost war when we could better spend our resources on founding a new society outside of the Empire, a society built on what the CIS was meant to be.."
