Knights,
We are preparing for war. The question, however, is against whom?
The Republic is currently engaged on multiple fronts in Prefectures I, V, and
VIII, and we are currently suffering massive incursions from House Liao, the
Draconis Combine, and Clan Jade Falcon.
Because all of this is known, I will not go into details: Many of you have fought
defending The Republic.
Currently, Republican forces have held the line. Though a number of worlds
have been lost, and we have not broken, our military is quickly preparing itself
for more aggression. Events on Terra surrounding the death of Paladin Victor
Steiner-Davion have shed light on another enemy. This foe will have far-reaching
repercussions should it prevail. A cancer grows within the leadership of our own
Republic. This involves senators, certain military commanders, and ComStar.
A few of our illustrious senators were implicated in an attempt to place warriors
hand picked from certain families and groomed for special positions. One such
person is a paladin. Thankfully, that Paladin’s honor and sense of duty overrode
his obligations to these traitors.
Yes, traitors: This is what they are. They acted of their own accord for power,
and they attempted to usurp paladin authority in a blatant attempt to manipulate
the voting result for the office of the Exarch.
To do so, they used terrorists and insurgents. Thanks to our new Exarch and
Paladin Heather GioAvanti, however, these criminals were stopped dead in their
tracks. Senator Geoffrey Mallowes was indicted for his role in this conspiracy.
We should have seen this coming. We are the eyes and ears of The Republic. We
are currently too focused on external events and not enough on internal matters.
This must change immediately.
My discussion with Exarch Jonah Levin proved fruitful and insightful. He knows
that nobles are part of the equation, but that the root of the problem is deeper.
Ghost Knights, we must find where this cancer is growing and remove it before
it grows too large and ultimately destroys The Republic.
ComStar is another problem. Since the disappearance of Tucker Harwell, they
have repeatedly rebuffed our inquiries of his whereabouts. They say that it is an
internal matter and that The Republic need not worry about it.
ComStar grows bold in their dealings with The Republic. Not only that, but they’
ve also shown they have reconstituted and rearmed the Com Guards.
This does not bode well for us. If they have reactivated the Guards, what about
ROM? We must assume this is the case.
ROM is the foe we’ll need to concentrate on. ROM’s history is one of
resourcefulness, secrecy, and uncommon aggressiveness and brutality, and I
expect ComStar to use ROM as the tip of its sword as they attempt to expand
their influence.
We must stay vigilant. You are the best The Republic has to offer. I know I can
count on you all to go beyond your duty.
You are Ghost Knights, and you fight in the darkness against those who would
see Devlin Stone’s dream destroyed. You are shadow warriors.
The moment to shine is here. The time has come for us to stand up and be
counted. The fate of The Republic is in our hands. Good luck and God speed.
Respectfully,
GP
