I'd Rather Die

"I am a true Imperial and it is that cause of a unified universe that drives me to carry on. I will not be intimidated by you or your friends, no matter if I am overpowered or overwhelmed by shear numbers. I will not kneel and humble myself to kiss he ground before your feet and be baited by a rabble's curse! Do you think I am willing to throw away the very establishments, which helped forge my being? Do you think I am willing to betray His Excellency and deny the dreams and visions he had given us hope for? No, I will not give in, I will not be threatened. I would rather live a thousand lives of torture and torment than to throw away those ideals! I would rather throw before me my warlike shield and shout 'lay on' and damn any man who first cries 'hold, enough." I would face any obstacle, no matter how insurmountable it may appear than to cast aside that longing and vision that drives me forward to a hideous end. I would rather die than to say we were wrong!!
