Lore (The Clash)

''"Attention all Republic citizens. Attention all Republic citizens. Earth is under attack. Earth is under attack. There has been a massive number of sightings regarding the appearance of reality-altering Rifts within the past millennia around the world, majority of which are in Asia. We have determined that many important Republic cities were changed massively under the influence of these Rifts in a matter of decades. We have also received footage of cities being attacked by an unknown medieval force. These forces are seen wearing medieval armor and robes, and are armed with swords, spears, and weapons from ancient times. Footage of several Republic cities under attack by this "Order" will be played after the message. We now declare this action as an act of war towards the Republic. The Republic will respond swiftly to the locations affected around the world. To all citizens, prepare yourself for the appearance of Rifts around the world, and possibly, every corner of the universe the Republic holds. Arm yourselves as quick as possible and begin to activate the security systems around your homes. This message is being relayed within a five-solar system radius, and will reach the outer colonies of the Republic within hours. Good luck, and so say we all, may the odds be in our favor."''
