The Image on your holovid goes fuzzy, and then black for a few seconds.
Suddenly the screen bursts into life to show the Imperial logo, which is then replaced by that of the Kuat Drive Yards. This image is then replaced by that of a conference room, with a large window taking up most of the background showing the planet Kuat, and the orbiting construction facilities know as Kuat Drive Yards. A well-dressed man steps out of a room to the right of the window and to a podium in the centre of the image to deliver a statement. He coughs modestly before beginning :

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Empire," Began the man "I am Myn Donos, current owner of Kuat Drive Yards. First I wish to emphasize how great of an honor it is to run and own this corporation, producing only the finest vessels [SSD, ISD & VSD] in the entire galaxy for the sole use of His Majesty's Navy."

A wave of murmurs pass through the crowd but quickly dies as the audience realizes that the man wishes to make a further point.

"Second, we, Kuat Drive Yards, pledge to devote our every resource for the Empire in every venture they embark upon," the man continues, after putting heavy emphasis on the word 'every'. "We are striving together with the Empire for it's success, it's prosperity, and an unchallenged rule over the entire galaxy."

The man nods to the crowd, half of which begin to clap, and the other half who stand and begin to ask questions. The man simply folds up the piece of paper with the statement written on it and walks back out of the door he entered through. As he does so the screen fades to a picture of the shipyards themselves with an Imperial Star Destroyer in mid-construction and with several more becoming visible as the camera begins to zoom out, leaving you with an image of the full expanse and glory of shipyards above Kuat and a haunting Imperial march played over the top.

The image fades black once again and returns to the scheduled programming.
