Statement by the Chancellor, at the Most Holy of Kor, upon receiving this message burst. Addressed to the other races of the Galaxy:

It is with great puzzlement that the Exiles have received these messages. over the past few months the Corelians have decided to jettison ancient treaties, claim wrongs where before they had none, and make demands which are ever increasing in their scope and provocatory nature.

For over a year, the Exiles have been engaged in that most holy of pursuits, the terraforming of asteroids to make habitable worlds in the Aragor system. Terraforming is the highest calling of the Faithful, and it is the focus of our worship and civilization. We had been engaging in such activities for many months, but suddenly the Corelians not only colonized four worlds we created, but have declared that the entire Aragor system should now come under their control. The Faithful and the Corelians have shared the aragor system ever since they met, over ten years ago.

Earlier agreements by the Corelians have also been jetissoned. Their conquest of Plant worlds was allowed by us only upon the condition that upon destruction of the plant empire they turn over the worlds they conquered, for they were deep in our space.

There are a number of other incidents, but there is a clear pattern. Each demand is more provocative and inflammatory than the prior one. Corelian warships pour into Aragor and other systems. And we have word that Corelian fleets are enroute to our space even as we speak with an intention to murder the Faithful.

It is clear that the Corelian government is unstable and is seeking to cause a war between our peoples. We ask the civilized races of the Galaxy to take heed and lend their support to our cause should war come. The Corelian government has gone mad, the Corelian people must be informed of this and the risk their leaders are taking.

As the head of the Secular government of Kor, we will try ever means necessary to avoid conflict, but the Faithful will not yield to blackmail or threats.

There is a greater danger: the priest caste of the Exiles grows increasingly hostile to the Corelians, and is calling for a Jihad against them. This crisis has the potential to spiral out of control and flow out beyond the Aragor and Prinntlot systems. Take heed.

Kirala, Chancellor and Servant of Kor
