Teniel Djo called a brief holo-appearance shortly following the Imperial proclomation, to utter her complete and undying agreement with her Remnant colleagues. In her words "As [edited-out-name-of-IHC-member] and I discussed last night over cocktails, these rumours of a conspiracy between the Empire and Pirates are preposterous. I have received no messages in my inbox from a self-proclaimed Emperor Bonias asking if we might arrange some kind of peace whereby he grants me complete control of the Outer Rim if I cede the Core Worlds to him...none whatsoever, especially not any on Day 34 of this year. Ergo it seems silly for anybody to claim that the Imperial Remnant has tried to form an allegiance with Eidola, and it is a sad state of affairs that we have to announce this. In the future Eidola and the Remnant will simply issue a joint GNS press conference where we will deny these rumours together.
