A new, correct and completely unbiased history of the recent, just, and unavoidable war, a stroke of fate called by some a mere police action, by others a border skirmish or treaty disagreement, against the inhabitants of the sixth moon of the sole gas giant in the Procyon system, known as the Hugano in LangGalac, the common language of civilized space and official dialect of our most revered Cubo-theocratic Imperium; said Hugano taking up rebellious arms against Its Majesty As'kwa'hera (may progeny bud from it forever) after excising the thinking-organs of a delegation of Its Majesty's lawful Ambassadors come to invite them into a state of vassalage, they then descending to depredations, murder and spoilage of several of Its Majesty's planets; justly rebuked with what all aver as appropriate force by a Naval Assemblage consisting of not less than seventy Dreadnaughts and half-again as many Starcrushers; the sole surviving Hugano now on display in the gardens of the Most Serene Duke Ty'van'ege. Written by Dhalic Vengoran, Equestrian-rank, and participant in above-mentioned combat, who did not, as some of little courage and littler merit claim, flee the bridge at the first slash of enemy particle beams; but taken with a sudden relapse of quaking-palsy caught many years before in Its Majesty's service, did personally direct the combat from the sick bay via his second-in-command; the whole work illustrated with chromoplasmic engravings and tasting-spots by noted artists, with scroll rods of polished Hugano bone, and signed by the author. |
