To our Most Loyal Captain Heller, We the Economic Magnates of the Pentastar Alignment, write this letter affirming our loyalty to the Pentastar Alignment, its Politorate and Lawful Institutions.
In recent days matters have developed that are of utmost concern to the wellbeing of the Pentastar Alignment. In recent days Moff Konig has declared his wish, and intent, for all-out warfare with the New Republic.
While this is in itself not an evil, it is something that we can ill afford at this very moment, as you as a senior officer of the military will be aware. After what can only be described (from our sources, official ones are not forthcoming) as a horrendous defeat at Acherin, the Alignment stands on a knife edge. We have much benefited from isolationism and passivity, it seems we are not gaining through aggression.
Moff Konig has declared his intention to utterly militarise the economy in order to fight the New Republic, this, we are all agreed would damage wages, and ultimately harm the wider economy that has been decribed as 'the economic miracle of the remnant'.
The Sedition Act, which has been passed only these few hours is also an act which treatens us, not because it takes away freedom of speech, which is irrelevant, but because it takes away the perception that we are a 'moderate' faction, a factor which has insulated us from much of the wider criticism (and military prioritising) that has afflicted the rest of the remnant.
I would urge you to express our concerns to your fellow officers if possible and ask Moff Konig to reconsider his position, if it does come down to it, I would ask that you would consider the protection of those most loyal to the Pentastar Alignment and its best interests.
Signed Faithfully.
