My fellow Commanders,

Our leadership sends their gratitude for your willingness to liberate New Rhea from the enemies of democracy.  Our recent successes speak well of your courage and dedication to the principles of freedom and democracy.  Remember, whenever any demagogue begins to speak about establishing an “illiberal” world order what they are actually promising is slavery and an autocratic, anti-freedom, anti-democracy existence.  Illiberal governments must be resisted at every turn.

As we stand united against our enemies, it felt appropriate to show similar solidarity from Ancient Earth’s past.  These media files were recovered by our historians and speak to the courage of those defenders of democracy that fought for their freedoms long before any of us were born.  Let us draw renewed strength from their courage and sacrifice, while reflecting upon the stupidity of illiberal government enablers.
