Voice of the Dragon Controls Towne HPG Station 11/06/3132
INN - Interstellar News Network
“People of Towne, this is the Voice of the Dragon, supporters speaking on behalf of
the Dragon’s Fury. At dawn this morning, Voice of the Dragon troops staged a brief
action to gain control of the HPG station in Port Howard. VoD troops acted with
consummate professionalism and achieved their objectives quickly and efficiently.
Regrettably, shots were fired during the operation but those wounded in the assault
are receiving appropriate medical attention. The station’s ComStar HPG technicians
have not been harmed and will remain here for the present to operate the systems and
to discourage any rash action by Governor Oscar or Legate Jurik.
The Voice of the Dragon has not taken the decision to act lightly, but the activities of
the local authorities and the self-serving attitude of the Republic government left us
with no choice but to take matters into our own hands. Were we to remain silent and
conform to the laws of the land we would be perpetrating an even greater injustice,
something our conscience and honor would not allow. We must do our duty, no
matter the price. Despite the Republic lies you may have heard about the Dragon’s
Fury, we have no desire to harm the people of Towne, nor do we wish to plunge the
planet into civil war. Instead, our current objectives are to lift the veil of secrecy the
Republic’s apologists have put in place concerning events elsewhere in the Inner
Sphere, unmasking the base propaganda spread by those seeking to protect their own
positions and privileges.
As will become clear, the authorities have sought to manipulate the media for their
own ends, allowing only that information which benefits them to be disseminated and
distorting facts where rival groups are involved. Certain individuals have sought to
deny the truth of what has been happening on Addicks and blame rebels, agitators and
outside agencies for the events on our nearest neighbor. We cannot in good
conscience allow the small-minded views of an isolated elite to govern what we think
or how we view the universe. Their attempts to do so are clear signs of the Republic’
s dishonorable predilection for tyranny and its unfitness to rule.
For as long as we control this facility, the Voice of the Dragon will bring the
uncensored truth to the people of Towne and our first step shall be to release details
of how the Dragon can best serve the population.”
