This man has droopy, chocolate-colored eyes that gleam fascinatingly. He has waist-length, straight, bone white hair, which partially conceals his face. His physique is notably muscular. .It is none other then…..
Eric Valtane formally of the AFFS…now acting regent of the Federated Suns
Good Evening…. In these dark dreary since the horrific attack carried out by terrorists on our fair nation. This same attack which took the lives of our exalted leader & his entire family, Which included the middle child of the king of Matich & several delegates from Crossman Prime, Their deaths coupled with the horrific loss of life during their suicidal rampage through our Capitol cost the lives of many thousands more Waffians…Both civilian & military alike…Our Intelligence bureau has done a remarkably outstanding job of tracking the Terrorist’s who were responsible, Rest assured when we have concrete proof as to their base we shall strike with a vengeance.
Also our intelligence people have found a living heir to the throne…Though he may be a bastard child…Royal blood still courses through his veins as such when he is ready he shall take up the reins of our mighty nation…And lead us to greatness as his family has done for countless generations. Until that time I shall remain as regent
Tonight I have news of a glorious nature…As you all know 50 years ago our Archon’s Father wisely sought out a new place for his people. 1st he brought us into the Space age…then he proceeded to build us our 1st Orbital base….Which was sadly delayed when he succumbed to illness. Since that time his son has continued his great work and completely revamped it into the orbiting Starbase which sits above us today. He also implemented a bill to begin construction on our 1st extra solar system ships. Since that time we have sent out explorer ships to look for a new home for us amongst the stars. 25 yrs ago our scientist caste spotted a globular cluster on a deep space radio telescope. So we sent several explorer ships to investigate…Within 2 yrs they found a Prime World for our Initial Colony and some Colonial Engineers were dispatched to begin construction on a suitable colony

We soon decided to begin construction on a trio of massive colony ships. These ships have just been completed. They are designed to hold up to 150,000 in stasis, these ships are massive, and measuring some 5.9km in length, the 1st ship is being loaded as I speak with the 1st group of colonist now along with enough material to sustain them for 5 yrs at their new colony. Due to their size these colony ships will take up to a year to reach their new home

**FSNN LOGO FADS IN……..THEN FADES TO BLACK**
Newly appointed to the post of Regent…Eric Valtane was sitting in his office going over reports from all the departments of the Kingdom…Signing this, & that approving disaster relief to the hardest hit area’s, Setting up contract bids to be sent out for the reconstruction of the destroyed infrastructure.
Thinking to himself…”What the f---”…”Did I get myself into?”...Running a damn country didn’t appear to be this difficult @ first…All the paperwork, Arranging for the mass funerals of all the State Hero’s…Which he coincidentally chose all the deceased as being. Hero’s of the State
Suddenly & rather violently he was thrown from his seated position amidst an explosion of glass & wood. As he sat up rather groggily. Shaking his head he felt an intense pain on his forehead…Reaching up he wiped his brow and withdrew a bloodied hand…Just as he stood up he noticed the entire facade behind his desk was gone wall & all.
Suddenly 3 armed Guards burst into his office along with his secretary…They immediately started first aid on him.
“What happened…need a sitrep”
“Milord…Terrorists have struck again…They just detonated a truck bomb in the Matichian Embassy next door” …
“Damages” …
“½ of the Matichian Embassy is gone….Luckily they were @ their homes during this time of mourning…The loss of life should be minimal” …
“Any Waffian Causalities???”
“Unknown at this time sire…Right now it’s just superficial injuries…Medivac crews are responding now!!” ...
“Well done Sgt. Contact Taccom tell them to begin a Region wide roundup of all foreign subversive….Even if they wiped their noses the wrong way…I want them detained…Anyone who resists is to be shot on sight…
As the security detail began to leave….
“Ohhh an Sgt….Double all the guards…Hell triple them if need be…enact a curfew as of now” …
Fades in on Governmental Flag……Pans over to a man hands clasped in front of him.
Regent Valtane sits behind his desk…Still wearing a bandage where his scalp was lacerated by the blast 4 days ago… In the background thru a hastily repaired façade you can see heavy equipment clearing the debris from the former Matichian Embassy…Though heavily protected it still suffered serious damages and has been considered a total loss
“My fellow Sons of the Federation…Due to the atrocities we have suffered as of late…I am making the following governmental policy changes amongst other stuff”…
1.) All governmental duties are to be post wit…Transferred to our orbiting Starbase…Which will be the new governmental seat of power…All have already alerted all the foreign embassies of this decision…Most have acknowledged this and have begun preparations to move their respective embassies post haste…
2.) All the contract bids for infrastructure reconstruction are hereby retracted…For we are not long for this world…Why should we build it up…Our Colony on New Avalon is thriving…Abit they are still awaiting their designated colony ship. Also our vaunted engineers upon recommendation from our Explorer Corps. Have begun construction on 5 more worlds…Aptly named Outreach, Antietam, Kathil, New Syrtis & Canopus…These 6 Fledgling colony worlds are being protected by our 1st Typhon Security Fleet. A fleet who’s sole purpose is the protection of said worlds…I have also ordered some more engineering units to this sector to assist with further expedient construction of these colonies…I have also ordered them to begin construction on a Starbase in that sector…
3.) I have also ordered our Explorer Corps to stop any future Explorations of new worlds and to concentrate on mapping out…The worlds that are currently being colonized…With detailed Xenobiological, Archeological Workups…
4.) 4 more colony ships which were still under construction at the time of my last broadcast have been rushed and completed weeks earlier then planned…They await loading…Let us hope that our shipyard construction crews did a good job…
5.) The attacks which took place 4 days prior cost us much morale…4 Fed Suns Soldiers died that day…Along with 8 Matichian Soldiers…These men/women have been added to the growing list of dead who are state hero’s
6.) As such their will be buried w/ full military honors…
