Bonjour Congressional Junkers,
While several of you have come to know me quite well these past few weeks as the owner and pilot of the Salvager Terra.Firma and my other vessels, I have not yet formally introduced myself to this body as a whole, until now.

My name is Tyria Regalia. And I, like many of your ancestors, was a Junker of Gallia. I was sent here as a young girl, into the Sirius Houses, because my father believed the Houses would swiftly defeat Gallia in the war they planned, and that none would be spared retribution for the actions of the king. Obviously, this is not the case. Infighting amongst the houses, accompanied by the Nomad threat that has plagued you all for the last few decades, has left your defenses weak. Bretonia is still reeling from the losses it has suffered in Leeds and Tau-31. I know about these losses, all too well, I lived on Leeds for the last decade. I fought on the streets of Leeds as royal marines landed to subdue the population, it was there I acquired my Salvager, stolen as I escaped with thousands of other refugees. Though the Bretonia Armed Forces will not admit it, they are losing the fight for their homeland. And once Gallia holds all of Bretonia, how long will it be before they move onto the next house, and the next? Who will stand and fight alongside you, when you did not stand to fight alongside anyone else?

Like one of the Junker liaisons to the Gallic Royal Navy, my father, I believe this push from Gallia to be an ill-conceived grab for territory and power. However, I also believe that we, the Houses of Sirius, can mount an effort to push them back. But, such an act will require putting differences aside, if only for a few moments.

We play a key part in this struggle, as we have much to lose on both sides of it. Though communication channels have fallen silent as of late, our brothers and sisters in Gallia share our cause. They have since fallen out of favor since the war has started, and they are suffering for it. Once again, many of us are spacers without a place to call home.

This is why I come before you now. Your resources are vast, and influence is wide. Long have the Junkers of Sirius used political favors to divide and conquer their opposition. It’s time we undid some of the damages we’ve caused, division is the last thing we need now. Unification should be our goal; mediating conflicts between the Houses, help legislate treaties to one another and guiding them toward a new goal, the defeat of Gallia’s expansionary forces, and reconciliation with its people. Remember, the actions of a king does not represent the will of his people. But only through the excitation of those people will their will change the actions of a king.

If any of my words resonate within your hearts or minds, then please, realize that I am one of you, and accept me into this Congress, and together we can make our people whole once more. Ask amongst yourselves, I know there are a few ready to sponsor me, should you require references.

Proceed, knowing that I will support whatever the Congress decides, but I will forever yearn for our reconciliation with Gallia, and the prosperity of the Sirius Sector that will undoubtedly come from it.

Merci à tous
Je vous prie de croire, mesdames, messieurs, à mes sentiments les meilleurs.
Tyria Regalia
