For fourteen years, we have seen nothing but ongoing warfare under the blood-stained banner of the GTA. The ever-present threat of attack from the Vasudans, the Shivans, and the Hammer of Light has kept us from knowing even the briefest moment of respite. There are children of Antares alive today that have never known peace.

What is the Alliance doing? Reinforcing their borders. Pushing their propaganda. Cruising their destroyers through our hoe, as if they are still a forced to be reckoned with. "Symbols of Terran pride. Beacons of stability." The stale notions of an old era.

All too often in our history governments fall because their pride and greed deafen to the cries of their people. What makes the GTA any different? Each colony in Antares has been notified that the GTA is redeploying its forces. The Intrepid's battle group is heading this way in the coming months. Perhaps they do not truly believe in the armistice with the Vasudans. In the war, they saw Antares as little more than a place to strike at the Vasudan core systems. Or, perhaps, they have come to ensure our submission. Whatever the reason, it is sure that conflict will return to our home.

Time and time again we see the same tragedies repeat; how long until we decide enough is enough?
