[A speech to a joint meeting of the leadership of the Songu and Plena Clans on their home planet Arcania]

A common enemy brings us together. We have fought countless battles in our struggle to control the riches of this land, but today we face a threat that puts both our clans in jeopardy.

Our truce and this pact for mutual support give us the best chance to survive the coming assault from the Galitinians. Their technology is far superior to ours, and they fight without adherence to the rules of war.

But this is our home world, we know it better. We will exploit the dangers and opportunities that lie in the hillsides and ravines, in the tunnels and the desolate sands. Our people are stronger, and they will fight fiercely to protect this place from those who would take their home world.

Together we are more than strong enough to drive out these brutal invaders.

Let us raise a glass now and drink to the solemn bond of alliance in battle. Tomorrow, where there were two clans there will be one united fighting force standing brave and prepared to do battle to the end to defend Arcania!
