"I think you should be careful about who are you accusing of desperation and poor judgement. Palpatine prevailed against all that opposed him, including the once mighty Jedi Order, that even Osokans couldn`t defy.
But if you remain in your defiance, your people will suffer, and you will be remembered as the leader who brought disaster to Lanzar. There is no need for this, and Emperor would also prefer to avoid the mess. If you show that you comply with the Imperial Order, there will be no need for fighting. And why you are so ungrateful towards the person who allowed the Hunting Lodges to be reastablished?
You claim that you have such firm support of your people- so why other Lodge Masters fought against you? I see that Andran has agreed with you that new, free elections are necessary- but can we expect them to be free of violence? If there was an Imperial garrison to monitor it, it would all be a diffrent matter- if any Lodge Master started a rebellion, you could easily crush him with Imperial aid- making you an undisputed ruler of Lanzar."
