"The Steward of Imperium"
-
Without your great sacrifice, along with your great devotion to the cause, the Empire's defiance may never have prevailed against the forces of Darkness in the long run, and for all you have achieved under the banner of the Iron Sun, you have my heartfelt gratitude. Though I understand if these words may seem a little lacklustre, as I would be remiss to forget that my likes would have failed long ago without you, my Warriors of Imperium.
But with that being said, I think on our allies also, of friends former and standing alike, of those who vanished and of those who stood with us in the long run. Reminded of those who fought, bled, and died alongside us, even reminded of those did so against us, and in that grief - reminded of what I saw down in Carannia's monorail tunnels in our fight against the Sith.
The silent, peaceful corpses of two troopers, trained and deployed on opposing sides of the Third Imperial Civil War and with every conceivable reason to despise each other; and yet, in the face of the most visceral of enmities, these so-called enemies were found huddled together in deathly fellowship.
And I am not ashamed to admit this memory still breaks me every time, as it does with many who survive to remember it. I have seen too much, and the same rings true for everyone else, do not deny it, for it would be prudent if we were all honest with ourselves. This is the reason I make these decrees after all, as I am thinking of all that this death and bereavement has exacted upon us when I consider what our next steps must be, what we can bring ourselves to endeavour with heavy hearts.
And thus,
INCOMING MESSAGE FROM THE IMPERIAL REGENCY
THE SECOND GREAT HYPERSPACE WAR HAS ENDED
OUR EDICTS WILL CHANGE WITH THE TIMES
To all who fought to see such a day,
To the living and the dead alike - my fist rests over my heart for every last one of you.

And thus,
IN THE FIGHT AGAINST OUR WAR-WEARY HEARTS,
