Fellow Citizens and Commanders of Blood Serpents
We can no longer sit idly by while the moral and legitimate fabric of our Empire is being erroded
We can no longer turn a blind eye to the corrupt and heineous plots against our Emperor and his heirs.
We can no longer tollerate devious and underhanded attempts at ursurping power by trampling on others.
We have to take a stand.
Today Princess Lavigny-Duval revealed the next stage in her plan to find and eliminate those who conspire and work in shadows to assassinate the honourable Emperor Hengist.

We must support her ongoing efforts no matter the cost to ourselves personally. Too many 'loyal' citizens are simply loyal to the mighty Credit. Their strength and firepower simply going to the highest bidder.
The Blood Serpents must do what is right by the Empire. We must support our rightful Heir irrispective of profit. We do this because it is right.
At the same time it is becomming ever more clear that Senator Dentor Patreus is using the weak and misguided Princess Aisling to gain political power.
His recent efforts in Kui Hsien to reclaim a debt owed. Granted in the Empire non-payment of debt is dishnourable. But I would ask you.... is it therefore more dishonourable yet to change the terms of an agreement making that debt outstrip the planets ability to pay.... and then to offer, once again, the mighty Credit to stamp out those people.
I find Denton Patreus' actions questionable. I find his ethics dishonourable. I shall not stand by. I am not taking his blood money for my own profit. I am doing the right thing.
In the coming months the Blood Serpents will have the oportunity of aligning themselves with some of these powers in the Galaxy.
I say we stand with the Emperor and his famiy. I say we align ourselves with the Emperor and Princess Arissa.
We must stand united. Acting as a single force.
What say you Commanders.
Heil to the Emperor, Heil Princess Arissa
