// A video is posted on the Nexus- The same video that was transmitted to all USSS PDAs and devices earlier in the day. \\ // Raisa stands on-screen, as usual. However, she does not wear her usual Premier uniform. Instead, a simple suit, in a dark blue, with a white dress shirt underneath, and a patch bearing the new Coalition's insignia. General Sasha, Commissioner Alla, and Director Katya stand behind her, wearing the same. A deep sigh leaves her, before she speaks. \\ "I come to you all as your Premier, for one last time. For the longest time, now, since the fall of New Moscow- We have tried to go on. To continue the Union's legacy, carrying the remnants of a dead nation on our shoulders, as we struggled to survive. Your fallen brothers and sisters thank you for this, and their sacrifice will not be in vein, for this is a rebirth. No longer will we chain ourselves to the ideals and weaknesses of our predecessors- The ideals that tore them apart from the inside. Ideals we have been conditioned since birth to hold near our hearts, unquestioned. However, we will not make this mistake. We shed those ideals, and move to new ones. Ones grander, and more noble." "The Union was a nation that called the Fringe it's home- Whether the Fringe displayed the same fondness to the Union as it did to the Fringe is uncertain, but it is something the Union held near to it's heart. It's birthplace- A place unlike any other, where the Union could truly thrive. A land of opportunity. We seek to preserve the Fringe's status as a land of opportunity, as a unique frontier where those oppressed or simply weary of 'civilized' space can find solace, and true freedom. The Union is dead. It did not die today, no- It died with New Moscow, and we simply pretended we could ever restore it to it's former glory. And instead, as a people, we move on, as the Fringe Syndicate Coalition. A new nation, dedicated to preserving the Fringe, and it's sovereignty as a free frontier, dominated by none. We understand that change is difficult, and we will not force you to stay. Our borders are open, you are free to leave, and never look back, as ultimately, that is your freedom to do so." "Alongside this change, the Coalition has allied itself with the Republic of Schelor, to assist in immigration and travel, in exchange for land. Lastly, a large Hylotl population has merged under the Coalition's banner, giving us their outposts and cities." // The transmission ends with a fade to the Coalition's new flag. Bearing the Troisarc, a universally recognized symbol of the Fringe as a whole. \\
