Backround
"The time has come. I know many of you have seen the Organization Categorization Revision Act (O.C.R.A.) and the power it has given the Liberty Navy as an extreme and expensive measure, but now at last you will how important it turned out to be for Liberty itself. It has given us the resources to press the nightmare that has been eroding our unity - the foreign-aided terrorist organization the Insurgency to the brink.

Liberty to be united and stronger than ever
It is true that the founders of the Hellfire Legion and the Separatists that formed the Insurgency originated from the Liberty Navy. They have betrayed our ideals, and their brothers in arms. But for what? For Power? For some fleeting idea that these military men and women could rule better than those that made Liberty into the powerhouse and a beacon of freedom and prosperity it has become?

Drake Thastus and Victoria Knight were proven wrong. They thought they were being idealistic, but before long they became more corrupted than the darkest depths of Liberty, working and protecting drug dealers, slavers, and criminals, and even turning on their own government the Commonwealth. Drake Thastus has not been heard of in almost fifteen years and might have passed away a long time ago. The Harmony with presumably Knight at the helm has disappeared from the insurgency, presumably abandoning their values and turning coats once again.

The Freedom's Triumph
Their ideology is broken, their leaders are gone, and the Insurgents have all but accepted their loss. Almost a year ago we detected a large fleet of double defectors in Omicron Xi, the bulk of Insurgent forces have started fleeing. It is time for the final push, it is time for Freedom's Triumph. I have ordered the large bulk of the First Armada forces to join the Vespucci Frontlines for our final push.

To you Insurgents reading - we are not afraid to reveal our plans. We have you completely surrounded. There is nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. We even know you have a presence in the Guerrero Asteroid Cloud. It is only a question of time before you will be smoked out. There is no need for further bloodshed. We are offering all those Insurgents who will willingly lay down their arms fair treatment. A lot of you were once part of the Liberty Navy, despite being classed as a foreign-aided terrorist organization by the O.C.R.A we will give you all the privileges and treatment of a prisoner of war, and will urge Liberty's Justice system to provide fair trials and paths to rehabilitation.

Now is the time to heal, now is the time to unite and wake up from the nightmare we were put into by Drake Thastus and Victoria Knight.
