To all empires of the Ankle Quadrant,

Given the recent merging of the Ankle-Chompers Empire and Decca, we would like to issue a statement. It is our understanding that the Ankle-Chompers had been embroiled in conflict with other empires at the time that they and our peoples merged. Deccans are not a warlike people, and it is our desire to avoid any furtherance of these conflicts. WE urge all concerned parties (especially the Trithians, the AtomSmashers, and the Tesco Empire) to communicate with us so the we can all maintain the current peace. WE will be contacting each of you seperately...

Yours, Decca

Having been a protectorate of ours and then "freed", your empire is safe from our warships. We extend this trust assuming you will stay free of our attacks on friendly empires of yours. To assist our targets after releasing you from our Protectorate would be the most dishonerable of sins. Yes, I know you are a peace-loving entity but you will need to choose honor instead of prospects...your allies will need to understand if you stand by and not choose sides as well...for you would not be in this position at all had we not given you a stay from certain destruction.

But, we would not have done so had not we believed in the integrity of your empire. Good luck to the Deccan Empire!
