Updates from the front: Praesu Undecim

 

[/nathan_s+]

'Brothers, sisters, cousins. I’m sure most of you have heard the rumors of Praesu Undecim. The news of its brutal disintegration at the hands of the Wormwood Sons. There is no other word for it: murder. Complete and total murder.

'We have remained neutral throughout this whole affair concerning this 'Primarch' and his progress. We have sought to remain untainted by the atrocities of the Pentarchy and Partisans alike. 

'But now they have attacked that which is most important, most vital to us. That which frees us, and that is our profit. The clans had a lucrative contract with the governor of Praesu. Why, this very city would have seen an increase in overhead by eight and a half percent. This madness must end now.

'The Confederacy will gather in the next week and vote on the next course of action – though I promise you now that the result is already known; after this atrocity, no other course will stand. 

'Profit is what frees us from the shackles of the Imperium. It allows us to use our resources as we deem fit, and allows us to choose when to go to war.'
