"Bretonia has lost a battle. Alright. This is war, and until it is won, or not, tides change. Now that the Liberty counter attack is obvious, I assume I can disclose that Edinburgh was merely a diversion. It was good to see so many ships not in Leeds.
Soldiers of Gallia, valiant patriots, innocent tools of ambition, you have fought well, but your commanders have overestimated their fleets, they have started a war with a revolution at home, they attacked Kusari only to show off, which, well, I don't really blame them for, and they named the system that is your main front after one of your people's greatest defeats.
Please clean up the mess before you go, if you have enough time."
He takes a glance at a small piece of paper that has just been delivered to him by a courier.
"Today will be remembered as the day Gallia lost the war.

He wonders for a moment and then mumbles for himself.
"Oh dear... I hope the Omega-49 jump hole is still active..."
He rubs his forehead as a gambler who has been losing for about half an hour.
