Men, women, fighters of freedom and citizens of Liberty. It is now that we have fully realized the threat of Gallia and all it stands for against our core values of freedom, liberty, democracy. Our right to exist as individuals, our right to protect ourselves from each other, from outside threats, from threats foreign and domestic. It is now that our people, Libertonians, must stand as one. Our differences mean little in the grand scope of the war. Our battles and fights amongst ourselves will be for nothing, if we allow a foreign invader to see a divided Liberty and believe we are weak, easily conquered. We have all fought and bled, and died, for our ideals and what we see as right. Liberty has sat by until the recent push of Gallia that threatened Bretonian homes and citizens. Now the threat is far beyond that. Now Gallia threatens us. Our people, our very way of life is in danger by the Gallics.
Now gone are the times where Liberty will sit idly by against this foreign threat. Gone is the times we promise lend-lease weapons to our allies in hopes they beat off the enemy. Our homes are now under threat and now we will tolerate this no longer. I call to you, not as the men and women of the Xeno movement, of the Legion's army or Harmony separatists. I call upon you as Libertonians, our homes, our people are threatened. It is time we end this threat to us. We may stand divided in our own borders, but we should stand united against any foreign threats. It is our own squabbles we have with each other. It is not the time for us to divide ourselves by the flags of the Xenos, Separatists or Legionnaire, it is time we all unite as one people, Libertonians, and show the sector that while we may stand divided internally, we will not be taken advantage of by any foreign power. We will not stand idly by while foreign power threatens our civil populace, and we will not tolerate an enemy that dares to set foot in our homes!
I call upon you not to abandon your allegiances and ideals, I ask that we, for as long as the Gallics threaten our home, we stop pointing our respective arsenals at each other, but we stand unified at our border. We stand unified as Libertonians to defeat the Gallic menace so we can still have our differences. I ask that we hold a truce until the threat of Gallic forces marching upon our homes is over. We cease attacks on each other that would hamper our respective missions for the common goal of defending our home.
The enemy may seem unstoppable. But every mighty giant must fall under their weight. They have fought us conventionally and now they have stalled. Now the time has come to shove them backward, send them tumbling down upon their ideologies of grandeur, of conquering our people. We must come together to fight this enemy, so we may fight each other. We must defeat the Gallic menace now, so we may defeat each other later.
Join us, citizens of Liberty, join us in preserving the home we viciously battle each other for, so we may continue to do so.

What a rousing speech full of hollow words from a lackey.
Do you think the centuries of neglect have been kind to us? The centuries of you blindly following orders, vaporizing your fellow man for the benefit of the aristocrat and his fat friends in the Government. Liberty was built on our broken backs, wrenched from our worn and weak hands. We were your slaves, a convenient commodity that you could trade as the stocks fluctuated.
Not anymore and never again.
You want us to shoot Gallia, Admiral? We already do. But don't for one second think that your ships won't get gutted if we find them in our territory. You've provided no incentive for us to consider you as anything other than belligerent to our objectives. I'd suggest you start putting offers on the table that benefit our Movement if you're seeking cooperation.
What? Did you think we'd help you out of the kindness of our hearts? I'm sorry, but if you're coming to the people you've trampled for years seeking help, then you damn well better give us a good reason to even consider not painting your ships with particles and anti-matter.
