Citizens of the Eternal Empire!
Recently, events have taken place that affect every inhabitant of the Empire. A weaker empire in such a perilous and dark hour would probably fall into chaos, but not us. I have always been proud to be able to serve people who are strong and stand their ground in all situations, performing to the best of their ability. Now I am not asking you for anything else but to remain as you have always been. As you are now, because we need all of this more than ever.
Today is one of the darkest hours and days of the Empire. A few hours ago I was informed that the Imperial Couple, our Emperor Darth Tacitus, and our Empress, Lady Vyra Silara, on their way home from their official journey to Kalidan, disappeared. Of course, we sent research teams to the location where the latest data showed their ship was found, but we found nothing. There is no sign that the ship was destroyed. Thus, we assume that the imperial couple is still alive, their ship merely disappearing. Of course, we will not stop the search, the STRATCOM will do its best to find them as soon as possible.
As is well known in the Empire, I am not only the director of Blackwatch, but within the STRATCOM I hold the title of Overlord as I am the Emperor’s right hand, as the Emperor’s Hand. After the STRATCOM was convinced that the Emperor had indeed disappeared, the rest of the government asked me by law to do what was my duty anyway. As the Overlord of the Eternal Empire under the laws enacted by the Emperor, until he appears again and he is able to re-assume his office, I will hold the duties of regent in the Eternal Empire.
As soon as this happens, I immediately return to my previous duties and the control of the Empire also returns to the hands of the Emperor. But in the meantime, I, as Overlord, or the Empress Regent, and the STRATCOM - in their usual roles - will take over the government of the Eternal Empire. Because the state is as strong as its citizens, we are confident that there will be no disruption in the Empire. The Emperor had an emergency scenario for such cases, so we can continue to follow his orders so that the Eternal Empire could follow the same path as it has done since we arrived here in the Unknown Region.
Probably not the easiest period to come and also that the Eternal Empire will cope with the difficulties that lie ahead and we will overcome them together. As long as my regent’s mandate lasts, I will do my utmost to preserve the greatness of the Eternal Empire and make it even stronger, and to achieve a new golden age through which the name of the Eternal Empire can last forever.
Long live the Eternal Empire!
