The Great Empire wants to negotiate

"Good morning, my loyal friends!" Good Vader said. "Two months ago, the USS Yorktown, under the command of Captain Barry Giotto, monitored an explosion on one of the moons of the Great Empire! They say that it was caused by overmining and insufficient safety precautions! They will have depleted their ozone in nearly 50 years! Due to their enormous military budget, the Great Empire does not have the resources in which to combat this catastrophe! At the behest of my father, Lord Destructor, I opened a dialogue with the Great Emperor, the leader of the Great Empire! He wishes to discuss negotiations at once!"

"Negotiations?" Rothbart asked.

"Negotiations for what?" Claudandus asked.

"The dismantling of our stations and starbases across the Neutral Zone! An end to almost 70 years of unremitting hostility which the Great Empire can no longer afford!" Good Vader said.
