Goveneur Heran felt that something more was needed. The Imperials kept on trying to make the citizerns revolt. He then had an idea.
"Broadcast what I have to say across the planet."
"Yes sir."
"Sir, we have a communications blackout."
"Is the emergancy radio system still working?"
"Yes sir."
"Use that."
The radio service used satallities to broadcast across the planet. All buildings were given receivers. It was an emergancy system designed to be sued incase of jamming. It was slow compared to hypercoms, and was not effective over long distances, but to transmit around the planet, it worked fine.
He walked out onto a balcony.
"Citizens of Abregado-rae, I am Goveneur Heran, your elected leader of the planet. Elected. I stress this word. The Empire is not a democracy, they will not allow you to elect anyone. They will place their on Goveneur in charge of Abregado-rae, one that may have been a criminal in the past. I draw your attention to Corellia, and it's Goveneur. Luprecus Darksword, I man who has attacked the innocent civilians on Garos IV, and who has caused devestation on numerous worlds was palced as their leader. He is a Sith, a member of a religious caste that has caused evil in the past.
Also, look at what the Imperials have done. Yes, we have caused the deaths of numerous Kamino civilians, who didn't want us there, but that was a mistake, and the commander is being held on trial, along with numerous other military people who were invovled in those terrible, unfortunate murders. We, the Galactic Coalition have apologised to the family numerous times, and have done all that was possible to help them. The Imperials attacked Caamas, made it inhabitable of life. They destroyed Alderaan. They built weapons that can destroy planets in a single shot. They designed the Galaxy Gun, and fired it at a planet, destroying, not even giving the people a chance to evacutate. They citizens managed to evacutate solwly because they knew their planet had been found. The Imperials released World Devestators on Mon Calamari, chewing up the surface, and destroying whole cities, with citizens still inside. They enslaved hundreds of thousands of people. They treat humans with respect,but hate everyone else. We treat everyone equally They murdered peaceful protesters. Has the Galactic Coalition gone in and dropped bombs on your heads? No. Have we destroyed your villages because you are protesting? No. Have we done anything wrong to you, the citizens? No. Do we forced your sons and or daughters to serve in our military? No. Have we forces anyone to serve in our military? No. The Galactic Coaliton forces no one to serve in the military. If you join the Imperials you will be forced to serve in the military. Also, if you wish to become neutral again after joining the Empire, would they let you? No. They would force you to stay as one of their members. We on the other hand will let you leave. We will hold a vote, right now. All the citizens of Abregado-rae, go to your municipal office, and vote. You can join the Empire, stay in the Galactic Coalition, or become neutral and then join someone else."
The crowd began to disperse, and went to their local municipal offices, where they would vote.
"Broadcast over the same system up to our fleet. I want to them to offer a cease fire to the Imperials. Tell them about the current problems."
"Yes sir."
Meanwhile, up in space.
The fighters were surprised by the newcomers.
"All vessels, follow us. Prepare for Operation Emergancy. Reload missile tu-" He was cut off by static.
"Crap, they are jamming us. Oh well, everyone knows to prepare for Operation Emergency."
"Sir, we are recieving a transmittion from the planet, on the radio waves frequency that we had to instal just before coming here."
"I remeber. It and the message pods made it impossible for us to carry fighters."
"Right. Apparently they want us to offer a ceasefire, while we wait for the results of the citizens vote on who they will accept for their government, or if they will become neutral."
"Ok. Send a message pod to the ISD."
"Yes sir."
A message pod was sent to the ISD bearing a simple message.
To:
Imperial Commander
From:
Galactic Coalition Commander.
I offer a cease fire. Once you stop firing, we will do likewise. The citizens have agreed to hold a vote, to see if they will choose to become a member of the New Order, or if they wil stay a member of the Galactic Coalition, or if they will simply stay neutral. On the results of the vote, whoever is not wanted, or if both parties are not wanted, then they will leave the system. Please send your reply the same way.
End message.
The missile tubes were reloaded, and the fleet continued to engage the enemy, but waited for a reply. The fighters stayed back, out of range, preparing to target the enemy ships. The Galactic Coalition fleet prepared to move forwards, while preparing to retreat backwards if the enemy agreed to the cease fire.
Damages:
More shields loses on the ISD.
More damage to the 4 Birds of Prey.
