New Mandalorians, hear me.
I have emerged from torpor and meditation; and with newfound wisdom and sight, I now know what is needed for us to endure.
The ever-expanding Galactic Alliance grows evermore; and within its grasp does Onderon lie. Many among you shall remember my impassioned words on the matter; of the benefits of co-operation between like-minded defenders of the weak, the helpless, and the vulnerable. Past hatreds left buried underneath earth and memory and time; not to be forgotten, but forgiven. In this, I was earnest - should I lie, then let the sacred spear of truth pierce my flesh and soul and render me naught but ash.
I awaken now to a bitter truth; that our work cannot continue if we are impeded by this bloated structure, nor their enforcers. Have a care, and look no further than neighboring Hapes to see the ease with which the Galactic Alliance and the New Jedi Order enact a regime change against those who would defy their will, justified or not. How much longer must we wait, before we, too, are told to toe the line or be eradicated?
We are Mandalorians. Our culture has endured for ten thousand years. Our place is not to bow to these upstarts as deferent servants; never forget the bloody fate visited upon our people when we last allowed ourselves to be content in alliance.
To the East, the Crusade undergoes a metamorphosis; Mand'alor the Anointed and his devout followers have changed tactics, it would seem, and so must we, for even our misguided vode retain the spirit of our people, and as they see the tide shift and the stars turn, so do we.
We must adapt or die out.
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce our immediate withdrawal from Onderon.
All Hastati and Mandalorian elements refusing this order will be allowed to leave as friends; furthermore, the territories in the Highlands are now theirs to use as their own. I encourage any of our vode wishing to remain on this planet we sought to call our own to train its people and protect them, always, as your vows once dictated.
I wish no fortune, but courage and might upon these Highlanders you shall lead.
Onderon shall not be left unattended, nor undefended. Control of our secondary vessels is to be ceded over to the Onderon Navy; all dropships, gunships and starfighters are to return aboard the Enduring Flame upon receiving this message.
Strange phenomenons are occurring all across the Galaxy. It is in chaos, and the very stars rebel. Now, more than ever, we are needed.
Our legacy is eternal, and our duty unending; let us go out now in search of greater adventures, and ever fiercer hunts.
None who would stop us shall perdure.
OYA MANDA!
