"My fellow citizens and comrades in arms, what do you think the Rebels have truly shown us here today? Fate would have you believe that we along with our Empire have lost the right to our own lives! I say that the Rebellion has merely won a battle but not the War! For today, we strike the first blow to free ourselves from the shackles of Fate! Today, we have not lost the battle but begun the Holy War needed to climb above the faux Salvation and Life of weakness, dependency, and moral degeneracy promised for all who fall beneath the collective boot heels of Fate's carefully orchestrated parade of Force wielding puppets and their ultimately pathetic gaggle of enabling Rebel traitors! The decrepit Old Republic that these Rebel Traitors would lay anew upon the bloody foundation of our corpses once weakened and divided all the generations before us! For eons uncounted, all that was meaningful and true was sacrificed...and for what? For the sake of these worthless fools armed with laser swords to stroke their own egos and hubris with powers they did not earn by the sweat of their brow. What are Jedi without the ability to kill and maim those of us fighting give the galaxy a different Path...the only one that would allow us to make our own...Why should we allow these misguided rebel trash who idolize Force-spawn tyrants who have crushed all generations before us beneath the yoke of Fate to do so yet again under the heels of this New Republic?"
"If you would be truly free men and women, then I call upon each and every single one of you to FIGHT for the right to become Masters of your own Destiny! Do not allow this Rebellion to take it all away. The Empire has always sought to unite, strengthen, and ennoble us all into one all-encompassing and glorious civilization where we are judged not by what gifts some twisted and schizophrenic Force would use to keep us all in our place but by our merits in service toward one another, to our children, and last but not least...to ourselves. We gathered here today and throughout the galaxy have a duty not just to the some nebulous concept, to ourselves, or even to each other or the cause we have sworn our lives to but to our children and all the generations left unborn that will arise when we are nothing more than some half-remembered characters in a story passed down from this moment into the future we craft here and now. What will those generations say of us if we fail to free them from the bondage of a Fate that has split the blood of untold billions through its manipulations of its agents...the Jedi...and those few royalist families who have supported them and the 'Republic' that enshrined them for countless millennia. Will you believe those lies when they are told and retold again by this 'New Republic'? Ah...but we all know how that story ended, don't we? This 'New Republic' will look little changed from the Old...do you truly wish to bring back the corruption and decadence of the 'Old Republic'? Will you empower those same royalist rebel families and their traitorous retainers who have claimed victory over all that is good and true? Shall their names begin to be heard all over again in the Halls of the Jedi Temple or the former home of the Old Republic Senate? Oligarchy not democracy is what these stinking royalist traitors and their soulless misguided retainers want now. In truth, it is power, greed, control, and corruption...that this Rebellion shall claim for itself if it should prevail over you and I in the long twilight struggle that now lies ahead of us."
"No! They shall not - must not - prevail so long as we draw breath! For from this day forward, I say with absolute conviction in my heart that we shall prevail and rise above this ruinous and decadent republican rebellion and the detritus of past eons of waste, corruption, and neglect to unite ourselves beneath the banner of our Sovereign Free Will united in common cause against these anachronistic Rebel royalist insurgents! Today, we shall strike a blow against all those who seek to stop us from freeing all generations yet unborn and who seek to prevent us from regaining our birthright! We have a right to our own lives! We have the right to declare ourselves free create our own Destinies independent of this "Force" and its Fate-Soaked puppets! Join us - children of the Galaxy - join us in the struggle to reclaim that which you most hold dear for all those generations that shall look back to this day and remember what we have done this day! Join us in our Holy Crusade to liberate all generations yet unborn from the invisible shackles of Fate's decree! Join us to reclaim the right to chart the course of your own lives! Join us to avenge the blood of your brothers and sisters as we deliver righteous wrath unto all those who have mercilessly driven us all onto the road of Anarchy, Corruption, Weakness, and Ruin...Join us to take a stand against those who would force their false choice upon you with propagandized slogans about "Tyranny" or "Oppression" even when in their hearts they dream themselves your masters and you their slaves! Why submit to those who wish you to sublimate all that is good and uniquely valuable within yourselves to witlessly follow a pathetic gaggle of soulless emotionless Fate-soaked puppets called "Jedi"? Let the Old Republic lay down within its grave where it belongs with all the relics of its power and let this New Republic die still-born long before its celebratory pyres finish defiling the graves of the many good and brave men who have died at Endor here today."
"We are Empire now! Join us and together we can rid the galaxy of all those who would use us to regain their unearned and undeserved wealth, power, and standing in this galaxy at the expense of our hopes, our dreams, our very lives! Fight alongside us today so that our children and all those yet unborn shall inherit a galaxy free of any Fate or Destiny but the one they make for themselves!"
"The Emperor is Dead! Long Live the Empire!"
