"The first order of business I bring to you is the completion of integrating the Outer Rim territories into the Galactic Empire. By then end of this quarter, I plan on at least a dozen more systems joining our growing family, so you should be expecting officers of the Imperial fleet to call upon your cities for living quarters and bases of operation very soon. I'm sure you'll all be too happy to give them homes in your own."
"Secondly, the Jedi. They are both a threat and a blessing. A threat because however few there are, they have the ability to rally entire planets behind them. A blessing.. because we can soon turn the public against them, give them a stronger reason to stand behind us, to openly support our fight against them. A fight which, ladies, gentlemen and others.. I plan on winning, and as swiftly as possible."
"Finally, if any of you fail me at this which I expect you will not then you will suffer from dire and great consequences. I will not accept anything less than success from any of you. We will accomplish everything we set out to do and there will be no failure. That is all."
