Emperor Valak's Coronation Address

Emperor Valak's inaugural address was delivered in 8 ABY from Castle Tsabak on Dreven moments after his official inauguration as the Emperor to succeed Palpatine.

''As I stand before you today, we are on the threshold of complete victory. With the crippling of the rebel Caspian government, the near extinction of the rebel Griffon militia, and the routing of criminal organizations such as the V'ez-Tcha from our borders, we have grown stronger. Nothing stands between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance's rogue government.''

''As you know, I have been leading the assets of the New Order against our enemies for several years now. Under my direction, our forces have increased in numbers and strength. I have called upon the loyal citizens of the New Order to help me bring the Galactic Empire to new peaks of glory and productivity, and they have responded. For the first time since the cowardly and untimely assassination of His Majesty Emperor Palpatine, the New Order has been experiencing unparalleled growth.''

''I will take this growth, this renewed spirit within the New Order... and I will unleash its full might against the last fragments of the Rebellion.''

I feel great pride in announcing the christening of a new Imperial''-class Star Destroyer, the first completed since the Battle of Endor. This new Star Destroyer will be the flagship for a Task Force that I will place under Lord Jarl Rellik's capable command.''

''New regional Governers have been set into place, bringing a renewed strength to the infrastructure of the Galactic Empire. Lord Rellik will lead the Task Force as the cornerstone of our operation to to conquer the New Republic.''

''And finally, citizens of the Galactic Empire, I am elevating myself to the title of 'Emperor', Supreme Ruler of the Galactic Empire. The new Imperial-class Star Destroyer will carry my name as it's own to spread the word of the New Order to all who encounter it.''

From this day forward, no longer are we to be known as 'what is left of the Galactic Empire', we are the Galactic Empire, and together we will rally to save the few who have strayed from the vision of the New Order and embraced chaos.
