The empire is guilty of numerous sins. It hasn't always acted like the emblem of justice. More blood stains its hands than Pontius Pilate. Interests often blind her from obvious truth. Still, she is war ready.
Her armies and commanders of the sea stand guard. Because every once in a while she gets it right. She brings truth. She brings fairness. She brings justice. On occasion, she can be a global symbol.
Now, red lines in the sand find themselves crossed. The empire shakes with anger. Loss of innocence, we cannot tolerate. Her people will soon be on her side. She is war ready.
