Operation Pitchfork Patch

“On this day We, the Free and Independent Citizens of Humanity, declare our intention to carry out Operation Pitchfork, a coordinated strike against the Vanduul menace that has taken root along our border and which even now threatens to spread like a plague towards the very heart of Humankind: Our Homeworld, Earth. Fellow Humans, we must accept the truth: war with the Vanduul has already come. The first strike has already been made… and they are the ones who made it, at Orion! The goal of Operation Pitchfork is not genocide; let no one deceive you otherwise. What we intend to do is no more and no less than what the UEE in all its supposed might should have done: liberate Orion and avenge our dead. This is not a wanton act of senseless slaughter, it is a counterattack, and it will be carried out at the earliest possible opportunity.
