Cornation Speech

For a thousand years the Empire grew, prospered, expanding the boundries of known space, bringing light into the darkness. But then something happened, something changed and the very soul of the Empire itself was corrupted.

Brother turned against sister, father against son and the Empire was consumed in flames. The fought a war, not a noble war to preserve the Empire against its enemies, but a cowardly war against themselves. A war which they all hoped to win, but all knew they would lose. And so it was that the thousand year old Empire fell and darkness once again returned to the stars.

Perhaps the Empire was flawed from its inception, a poorly constructed home just waiting to collapse, perhaps its leaders were corrupted by their own vainglorious aspirations and power. Whatever the reason, know that we, the people of Solee, are the children of that Empire and that one day we shall return to those stars and reclaim what was once ours. We shall not fail and we shall not be corrupted, the stars were ours and they will be ours again.
