Rebels, Separatists, and Terrorists
"To the cowardly terrorists, rebels, and separatists who seek to undermine the stability and unity of our great Pan-Solar Consortium: know that the Solar Clone Corps will grind you down, relentlessly and without mercy. We will annihilate your cells, disrupt your supply lines, and bring your leaders to justice. The citizens of our Consortium demand protection, and we will deliver it. We will not tolerate threats to our sovereignty, our economy, or our way of life.
"You may hide in the shadows, but we will find you. You may cloak yourselves in ideologies, but we will unmask your true intentions. You may think yourselves revolutionaries, but we will show you the true meaning of power.
"To the people of the Pan-Solar Consortium, I pledge that we will safeguard your freedom, your security, and your future. We will defend our citizens, our values, and our territory against all threats, foreign and domestic.
"The Solar Clone Corps stands vigilant, ever ready to strike. Let this be our warning to those who would seek to harm us: you will face the full fury of our might, and you will be eradicated."
