As the record plays, audio starts to echo the Executor’s words, interrupting the soft engine hum nearby.
Fellow Chosen,
Hermanos y hermanas, as we've grown, I have seldom taken the liberty to address all of you together on a general DTR frequency. Yet today, I wish to use this opportunity to congratulate you all on the monumental tasks that we've accomplished in the last few cycles.
We have taken on many challenges together - each more daring and ambitious than the last. Yet we succeeded at every turn - united by one vision, emboldened by our collective strength.
Our engineers have adeptly constructed our Sanctum, at the heart of our Imperio. Our installation, a monument to Corsair ingenuity and craftsmanship shall pave the way for further prosperity of our people - to bolster our armaments and serve as a major supply station for the resources we need. Together with the Reincarnation outpost, these are only the first steps in further establishing our infrastructure.
Our raids in the Omegas have intensified. Many targets have been pirated between Bretonia and Rheinland while en-route to deliver their commodities. Trading ships have been salvaged and their cargo reclaimed to supplement our economy and fuel our industry.
Our incursions led us to the discovery of the Ulster Annex-3 in Omega 3. An installation built by the Interspace Commerce backed company Team Convoy Logistics. Despite the attempts of the Bretonian navy to introduce martial law and protect it - that station is now history. No amount of casualties stopped us from laying fire and fury on this base. With a lightning strike, our forces crippled and destroyed Ulster. Anything left was salvaged and brought home, as per standard protocol.
And yet, this was just the beginning of our military campaign. While Deterrence was on the offensive, our enemies in the Omicrons decided it would be an opportune moment to attack us. Core and the Outcasts united, sent the largest armada of ships we've ever seen, with one purpose - destroying our Sanctum and striking at the heart of our territory. Despite wave after wave, our forces prevailed even to the point of launching counter-offensives aimed at Malta. Indeed, the battle for Sanctum shall be known as the greatest military victory of our faction yet. A testament of how all enemies perish before a true Corsair. Countless enemy ships were defeated above the skies of Crete. Our crews have salvaged many tons of materials since then.
This victory didn't come without a price. Indeed, we lost many brothers and sisters, as well as independent Corsairs, who rose to the cause and came to defend our home. Many others came to our aid, including Zoners and our Order allies. The sacrifices shall not be forgotten. Let us all consider 05/05/829 as Sanctum day - a vigil for those fallen on our side to protect our way of life, our continued survival, and our right to self-determination. Today, Tomorrow, Forever.
The siege on Sanctum was lifted. And with it, our spirit has persevered once more. Brave Chosen, you have shown your mettle and teeth. We now stand as united as ever, so to all our enemies - Seek to not bar our way, no matter the challenge or the cost, we shall press onwards as an indivisible whole.
As we move, there will be setbacks, no doubt more challenges lie ahead. With the multitude of our concurrent operations and with our movement growing even more - the Conclave's direction becomes ever more important. Praetor Samaras, Praetor Cerratus, and Praetor Sanchez shall each carry my vision and authority. Look upon the Conclave for guidance and direction in the days to come.
A new dawn is upon us - and we shall look forward to the future. More raiding companies will be sent in the Omegas, and onto Dublin and New London in Bretonia. Our relics operation shall double - in Liberty, Gallia, and Kusari. Already we have won our first skirmish with the Rose Dragons, thanks to our brave pilots. We shall continue to trade with our Zoner and Hogosha partners. And let's not forget Rheinland, where new deals will be made with the Unioners. A strong alliance will be forged with Order - to further push the united front of Core and Outcasts. The latter particularly have shown no sign of stopping and have sent additional forces to neutralize our most recent company. More forces will be sent to counter their moves. Like rabid animals, we shall put them out of their misery.
Out of the ashes, many have flocked to join our banner - independent Corsair pirates and raiders now rallying behind our cause. Welcome your new brothers and sisters to the fight, for the path ahead is laid bare and will not be easy. Like locusts, we shall step over the bodies of our fallen brethren if need be, but move ever forward.
After everything we've been through - continue to count on each other to get the job done. It's your sweat and blood that made it happen.
DTR is Tenacity.
DTR is Dedication.
DTR is Strength.
Onto victory, Executor Ravenna Nagash
