GRAND ADMIRAL RONIN

ADDRESS THE FLEET PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF BATTLE

"We are about to undertake the most ambitious endeavor this Elite Fleet has

ever attempted. We are about to conquer an entire planetary system. It will take

an enormous amount of our resources, but I believe it will be well worth it."

"As pilots, you may encounter shortages of supplies. The Hammer will do its best to keep every unit battle-worthy. I can assure you all that you will be equipped with that which you will need to accomplish your missions."

"Some of you might find that the mission to which you've been assigned a 'cake walk' when compared to some of those you have already flown. I should hope so. The object of this operation is not to challenge the individual pilot as much as it is to have us work together toward a common goal. Try to keep that in mind as you're blowing our enemy out of their cockpits, left and right."

"You have all been briefed on the reasons for this coming battle, and will

presently face your commanders for your final briefings, before embarking your

specific missions. I will remind you that you are the best pilots this Galaxy has seen,

and this is the reason you have been recruited into the Emperors Hammer. I have

every confidence in your fighting ability, and know you will not fail in the tasks that

lie before you."
