Ladies and gentlemen, My name is Robert Turing. Until two days ago, I was the Vice President of the Walker Trade Conglomerate. The Conglomerate is not a huge player in politics, but to some, it was a defining faction, rescuing them from the oppression of galactic states whose integration of capitalism has been less than adequate. It was a medium through which traders could collaborate without needing to worry about corrupt government officials, and to ensure the maximum gain of capital for each and every member. I am sorry to say that two days ago, the Chairman and Founder of our Conglomerate, Eltaes Walker, was killed onboard his trade vessel. His vessel, Spaghetti Western was traveling between Navaco Station and the ocean planet Chi Ceti Alpha V when it was assaulted by several pirate runners. These vessels proceeded to dock with the Spaghetti Western and unloaded boarding parties intent on taking the wares while the ship was en route. Walker and his crew fought valiantly, slaying a total of 13 boarders. However, ultimately, their numbers were too few, and the Chairman and his soldiers were slain. Conglomerate ships recovered the vessel (devoid of any merchandise) and proceeded to plant fusion charges within the main cargo holds, giving it - and Mr.Walker, a fitting burial in vacuum. The vessel detonated at 0800 hours this morning several thousand kilometers away from Navaco Station. Mr.Walker is in our hearts now. Thank you, Robert Turing, Chair of the Walker Trade Conglomerate
