After several days of apprehension and indecision, I have reached a decision on where my loyalties lie. I have decided that I will remain with the EH due to my responsibilities in the TIE Corps as a ship's commodore.

These last few days have been hell on all of us who have ties to both the Brotherhood and the subgroups of the Emperor's Hammer. Seeing friends go either way is heart-wrenching, and nobody should have had to make the decision that we've all been forced to. Unfortunately, this is how things have turned out and I cannot sit on the fence any longer. My TIE Corps battlegroup is falling apart, with a dearth of leadership resulting from the split, and I must rise to the occasion and serve the pilots who I have been a leader to ever since I got my first squadron command in the Avenger Task Force around two years ago.

My choice has been in no way influenced by my own political views and allegiances; I am ultimately loyal to people, not institutions or personalities.

I wish all those who go with GM Firefox to forge anew their ideal Dark Brotherhood the best of luck. Don't forget the reasons why you left, or what you are trying to achieve. If you lose sight of your objectives, you will fail like so many other breakaways.

Goodbye for now, friends and fellow Dark Jedi.
