APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR RELEASE TO PUBLIC - Y20D140

Coruscant

We bring heavy, yet good news to the Galaxy today. The Imperial war machine has been struck in its very heart. Today, we bring everyone what has been most desperately needed since this chapter in the war has opened.

Hope

We, the Jedi Order, and everyone who has pledged to aid us in this task stand here in the very belly of the beast. We have fought long and hard to reach this moment. Many weeks of planning and preparing, and countless hours of toil have been spent to arrive at our goal. No tears will be shed today, only blood and sweat. But... where is here?

Today we strike! The throne itself can feel our might! In the skies above Coruscant, and on the streets below every living being present bears witness to what can be done! Brave men and women on the surface have delivered our message to the Imperial Palace itself! Courageous beings in the skies have taken this message, and proven that the Empire is far from invincible. They can not stop one from attacking them on their own doorstep, let alone the outer rim!

Now, as you read this broadcast, know that a message of hope has been passed out. This beacon we have lit and foisted into the sky shines as bright as the suns of Tatooine. It is louder than every jubilee the Emperor can throw in his own so-called honor! And it is for everyone!

To get one, all you have to do is see the truth in front of you. The truth is the Imperial Union can't stop everyone. They can't even stop people on their very threshold of their power. They have multiple Executor class dreadnoughts, dozens of Star Destroyers, thousands of fighters, millions of troopers... but for what?

They couldn't stop the Jedi.

They couldn't stop Rebellion.

They couldn't stop Sanctuary Prime.

They couldn't stop the Invid Order.

They couldn't stop the Wraiths.

And they can't stop you.

We will rout the dark in every corner we find it. We all will.

Stay safe, everyone.
