Duchess Satine Kryze Speaks
Citizens of the new Mandalore,
We have begun to throw off our reputation for chaos and violence. Bloody is our history, but we now have our chance to forge a new path for ourselves. A path of freedom and justice. Of peace and prosperity. A Mandalore that does not reach for its blasters at the first opportunity, but instead looks to be part of the galactic community.
As Duchess, I intend to steer us firmly on this new path. Today, we shake off the shackles of our dark past and into a bright future.
However, we cannot ignore the storm clouds that are gathering. Both the Republic and Confederacy speack of war between them. Such a war would destroy the peace that has reigned in the galaxy for centuries, and result in devastating consequences for everyone involved. Millions will be killed; millions more will be rendered homeless and starving if war were to break out.
We New Mandalorians will do out utmost to prevent the outbreak of war.
Thank you.
