[Declaration of War Against Starfish]
(Translation)
[Our great Sea of Stars Most Holy Human Empire has endured for a total of 114 years since breaking away from the United Nations of Earth. I, Xi Yan, have ruled our Empire since its founding. People praise me, saying: his virtue is as profound as the depths of the Astral Realm, and his wisdom and stratagems are as numerous as the stars in the heavens.

Had His Majesty the Emperor not protected us with his cunning and might, had every one of our citizens not remained steadfastly loyal, the Empire would have collapsed long ago. Now, our Human Empire is so powerful, yet so many aliens still plot to persecute our people. Does this not warrant vigilance?
The Starfish Republic is a powerful and belligerent alien nation. Many years ago, they made enemies of the human race. Now they have even blown up Europa Seven of the United Nations of Earth. As members of the Non-Aligned Organization, their acts of war have gravely threatened the stability of the Sea of Stars, dragging the entire southern Milky Way into the quagmire of war. This can only be called brutal and inhumane.
The entire Sea of Stars and the entire human race face the threat of Starfish. The Art of War teaches us to attack an enemy when it is embroiled in internal turmoil. Now is the perfect time.
Therefore, I, Xi Yan, Emperor of Humanity, Emperor of the Sea of Stars Most Holy Human Empire, Emperor of the territories of the Dessanu Concordat,
