My dear, dear comrades... tell me, have you paid attention to the Imperial Senate lately? Have you seen the squabbling and dissent? This Senator Oriel of Vjun had managed to pass a law limiting the defensive fleets of each planet, which would seem to help our causes in some ways. Then again, this Crin Star of New Volus... perhaps can be persuaded to assist us. The slant from New Volus could be taken as anti-Imperial.
Your thoughts?
