"Hello, people of the United Empire of Earth. We are the Galactic Fifth Column. For too long the leaders of the Empire have used the Vanduul threat to scare you into submission, while making only a token effort to defeat the enemy from which they claimed to keep you safe. It is far passed time that the free people of the verse stand together and take up arms against the Vanduul. That is why the Fifth Column fully supports Operation Pitchfork.
Together we will show our foreign enemies that humanity will no longer turn the other cheek to invaders. If our so-called 'governments' will not retaliate for the centuries of wanton aggression our people have endured, then we must take matters into our own hands. Do you think it strange that an official declaration of war was made only after Operation Pitchfork has gained so much attention? It is no coincidence.
The Empire knows that the people are slowly awakening from their long slumber. The corrupt powers fear that if Operation Pitchfork is successful, it will signal the beginning of the end for the criminal Imperial establishment. This makes it all the more vital that Operation Pitchfork succeeds. We can not allow the criminals in power to sabotage the effort to defend our people.
We call on our military sisters and brothers in arms to remember the meaning behind your oaths. Be wary of the treacherous power brokers who will attempt to misdirect you in order to prolong the status quo. Be ready for the very real possibility that you will be forced to choose between your orders and your duty. And we implore you, brothers and sisters, to do your duty.
The criminals in your government will eventually face great justice, this we promise you. But first, we must defeat our mutual enemy once and for all. The Vanduul will be the first to face the retribution of the Fifth Column, standing shoulder to shoulder with the thousands of other brave civilian heroes who have joined operation pitchfork.
Orion has not been forgotten. And the Vanduul will not be forgiven. We are the Fifth Column. We are the resistance. The revolution has begun. To liberty or death, It's time to stand."
