The recent, unprovoked assault on the world of Cademimu V is nothing short of barbarism; an act devoid of honor, devoid of purpose, and utterly unbecoming of any entity claiming the mantle of Imperial rule.
Let me be clear: the perpetrators of this atrocity are not Imperials. They wear no true insignia. They serve no recognizable law. They operate not with the discipline or purpose that defines the Empire, but with the chaos of banditry cloaked in false regalia. Their blockade, followed by indiscriminate orbital bombardment, was a coward’s strike directed at civilians, trade infrastructure, and defenseless cities. It is a perversion of Imperial doctrine, not its expression.
The Imperial Confederation was not involved in this attack, nor did we sanction, support, or foresee it. We are conducting a full investigation into the identities and origins of those responsible. Intelligence assets have been mobilized, and we are coordinating with local authorities to provide immediate relief to the affected populace.
Let it be known throughout the galaxy: true Imperial power does not strike blindly. We are the sword and shield of order. What occurred at Cademimu V was the work of pretenders, rogue elements who will face justice.
The Confederation will not stand idle while the name of the Empire is dragged through the mud by degenerates with delusions of grandeur. If these false Imperials believe they can act without consequence, they are mistaken.
We will find them. We will expose them. And we will ensure this never happens again.
