At a speech after a special gladiatorial games match in Arena Majoris, emperor Cassius Zeno had this to say: "As you may have heard, the Drewish Empire has proposed and alliance." "This would include not only us and them, but also our neighbors the Sol Federation, Ezkanteia, an Imperial Military Greece." "I, your divine emperor, accept this alliance not only for our nation, but for the other nations as well, to usher in a new age of dominance and power in the southwest." There was much adulation.
