President Gavrisom, I regret that I cannot be there in person and that I am restricted to holonet broadcast. Unfortunately, myself and the rest of Baltimn's government were forced to leave Murmamn City. Riots have broken out, with insurgents and dissidents overwhelming our police forces. The city has been placed under martial law and is in the capable hands of General Preston, our leader of the Baltimn Defense Forces.
As we speak, efforts are underway to quell the riots and restore order... no thanks, I might add, in part to Neimoidia pulling out and leaving large weapon stockpiles behind where they could be easily reached.
