The Central Galactic Greater Protective Sphere (Galax Empire to their neighbors) is at war. This is not news.
Emperor Illustrium Veronus MMMDCXCV has commissioned a new battle march for the campaigns into the Spinward Aliphaux Unified Territories. This is a particularly dire assignment, as in addition to maintaining discipline and morale, Galax Star Frigate sublight repulse engines are synchronized and regulated through the rhythms shared over the secondary narrowband microwave command-and-control network (channel 0E).
The Imperial Composer enters the finishing touches into his phototerminal with trepidation. He knows what will happen if the campaign's momentum continues to flag. Knows it all too well; the public spectacle of the vapor chamber, his predecessor's lingering screams, his appointment by lottery to the position of Imperial Composer only hours later, all vividly fresh in his mind.
He wishes he could just go back to fixing air recyclers.
Transmitting harmonic sequences in .m8s format with Sphere Standard compression......Done.
