[KdIS] Imperial Address to the Galaxy

The Korporation der imperialen Sendung emblem spins into view on the Holotank as the opening theme plays in the background. The image cuts to a panning view of the studio as the camera slowly angles its way to center on a blonde-haired, Abwehran male sitting behind a large wooden desk. The camera then cuts to a front view of the news anchor as he smiles for the camera.

"Welcome, I'm Karl Jung and this is your 3700 Evening News." the anchor stated in a charming tone.

"Today, at 2430 Capital Time, Her Imperial Majesty, Bertina Rosenthal, held a press conference in the Imperial Palace's Grand Hall. While many speculated why Her Majesty would call upon the Press of not only Abwehr, but of others across the known Galaxy, none could have prepared us for this."

The camera cuts to a large, lavish Hall with the Empress of the Abwehran Star Empire standing behind a podium before a large crowd of Reporters from all over the Galaxy. She stand tall in a formal tunic and trousers with tailed-coat.

"Members of the Press, both native and foreign, and to everyone in the known Galaxy. We, the people of the Abwehran Star Empire, come to you with an invitation." the impressive Abwehran woman spoke in a sweet, soprano.

"With all of the death and destruction that the average person faces in this time of peril, many of been left not only homeless, but afraid for their lives and their families' lives. We come to you with a heavy heart for your losses, but also to give you hope. As of 1050 of the Sixth Day and Eighth Month of the 260th Year of our Freedom, the Abwehran Star Empire will open its border to immigrants of all species and creeds." she announced as cameras began to flash in the foreground.

"We call out to the homeless and the destitute, the fearful and the weary, and to those seeking a better life than what they have now. We are here to help you start new lives under a new banner. By serving the Abwehran Star Empire for a term of four standard years, you can have access to a multitude of opportunities found in our Northern Colonies. You can break new grounds on practically virgin worlds and even have the capacity to start your own businesses. We of the Abwehran Star Empire offer anyone willing to immigrate opportunities of free enterprise and pursue your dreams." Bertina spoke passionately to the Press Corp as she looked at the cameras with a sincere expression.

"We want you to know that you are not alone. That there is a place for you if you are willing. Thank you," she finished as she began to walk off stage. Many reporters try to ask questions of the Empress, but a Minister steps up to intercept the questions.

The camera cuts back to the News Studio and to the Blonde Abwehran.

"The decision by Parliament, known as the Immigration Act of 260, brought up by Duke Leto Von Hintermann of the House of Lords nearly three months ago. It was voted upon by the House of Representatives yesterday as was made the Eighteenth Article of the Imperial Constitution.

Details describe a program that enables anyone from outside the Empire to ply for citizenship by serving in either the Armed Forces or any authorized Government Organization for a single Abwehran Year. After the term, individuals would gain citizenship and the rights to either lands in the Northern Colonies or Private Business Licenses with Royal Marks of Authenticity."

The News Program's theme music begins to play in the background.

"Next Up on KdIS. Vicious Kretors breaking into rural homes and what you can do to prevent it."
