An announcement

The Neimoidian Government is pleased to announce a patronage of a new Opera here on Coruscant.

Written by Luneray Kruus himself, the opera is centered on the events surrounding the blockade of Acherin, written from the perspective of both of his sons who were present. This heart rending story of love of the common man, betrayal, wealth and the justice of the blockade in removing an Imperial friendly regime, and indeed the justice in enforcing the will of the people.

In Senator Kruus' own words 'This is truly the best opera I have ever seen, the sacrafice of my shuttle (with a market value of 1 billion credits) and also my son was a truly inspiring scene'.

The following is an extract from the song "A Neimoidian Blockadeer"

♪ Some talk of Leia Organa, and some of Eli Fitzgerald
Of Revan and Pultimo and such great names as these.
But of all the Galaxy's great heroes, there's none that can compare.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the Neimoidian Blockadeers.
Those heroes of antiquity ne'er saw a Deralian volley,
Or knew the force of turbolasers to slay their foes withal.
But our brave boys do know it, and banish all their fears,
Sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the Neimoidian Blockadeers.
Whene'er we are commanded to make a blockade here
Our leaders march in comfort, and we with hand grenades.
We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies' ears.
Sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the Neimoidian Blockadeers.
And when the siege is over, we to the town repair.
The townsmen cry, "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Blockadeer!
Here come the Blockadeers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears!
Then sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the Neimoidian Blockadeers.
Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health to those
Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the loupèd clothes.
May they and their commanders live happy all their years.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the Neimoidian Blockadeers. ♪

Performances start at the commencement of this weekend! Book now! Half of net profit goes to the New Republic Monument dedicated to the Acherin Blockade.
