"Good Evening, My Fellow citizens:

Next Tuesday, General Stoudenmire will be inaugurated as President of the free world. I will be on a Frigate on my way home to Armand's Diligence, Itan, to become a plain citizen. Inauguration Day will be a great demonstration of the Democratic Process. I am glad to be a part of the peaceful transfer of the vast power of the Presidency from my hands to his. There is no job like it on the face of the Universe. I want you all to realize how hard it is and to give all the help he will need. The Cold War and the “hot war” in Deneb will be great tests of his strength.

How will the Deneb war end? It will end…someday…because of the great weakness of the GF system. I have not a doubt in the world that a great change will occur. I have a deep and abiding faith in the destiny of free men. With strength and courage, we shall, someday, overcome.

When the old ways, and president died, I thought there must be a million men more qualified than I to take up the Presidential task. But the work was mine to do. But always, I knew that I was not alone. I knew that you were working with me. And now, the time has come for me to say goodnight and God bless you all."

Contents of the datapad recovered from a destroyed Itani official frigate,we can only assume these are the words of Commandant Jonathan J. Knoxville, Friday, April 3'rd of 4447. May we bow our heads in silence, for may he have been a kind soul, his ways will go down in our history as wicked. We will work our hearts out to find out who took it upon themselves to see it fit to end his life. The reading of the will will be carried out shortly, and i will be sworn into presidency shortly as well.

Goodnight, people of the universe, for when you awake, a new age will be upon us.
