BYSS. Iselnik Castle. Chairman Heinrich Vegetius climbs up onto a podium, flanked by a large group of humans wearing white ceramic armor. He smiles for the camera, but the smile never reaches his eyes, and it is the smile of cunning. There is nothing friendly about him.. more of a hunry look. Of a wolf.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Galaxy. I wish to announce to the Galaxy that effective immediately, I resign my post as Lieutenant of the Republic Guard, and of the Unified Command, to which no one ever bothered to assign me to a Battlegroup."
He continues speaking, now staring intently to the camera, which zooms in onto his face. The press, by now, knows Vegetius is going to say something obligingly controversial.
"No longer can I sit on my thumbs, and watch the Republic serve Wookiee interests while two Core Worlds, which formerly were the backbone of the Republic, become conquered, and one, not even lift a finger to help, besides Imperator Palpatine and Moff Tarkin, who gave private funds to assist in Corellia's defense. Instead of defending these worlds, the Republic poured /all/ of it's assets into Kashyyyk, and for what results?" 
He relaxes a little, resting back on his heels, and sighs, shaking his head.
"None, that's what! The entire might of the Republic Guard can barely dislodge a planet from the weak Black Imperial forces? This is incompetance of the highest order. I no longer can be associated with such reckless disregard for the lives of the citizens they protect or the soldiers they send in harms way. I have served with distinction and honor; while the liberal media wishes to distort my words and intentions, I only wish to bring Peace and Order to the Galaxy once more."
He then nods to the camera. He's not quite done yet.
"At the behest of Imperator Palpatine, I am founding my own Legion, Legion I Volones , which I am accepting any and all suitable volunteers for. The purpose of this Legion will be to defend Imperator Palpatine and his interests. Please inquire to myself personally for membership opportunities."
