This press statement has been released by Jack Carter, premier of Mandalore, to the world.
"Today, Furon made a totally uncalled for attack on Mandalore by firing 40 cruise missiles at us. Many were shot down, but some hit their targets, resulting in mass civilian casualties. They could not have been targeting anything but civilians, as Mandalore doesn't have an army. This is a sad day, and I request that the world review its treaties with a monster like Furon. The missiles were launched after Furon encouraged an argument between itself and Mandalore. It launched one missile, which it claimed had been launched 'without orders', a petty excuse. The missile was shot down, and we notified the Furonese of this, as well as a warning. They responded by firing the 40 missiles and killing many civilians.
