Reschard V was once a fertile world, lush with life, a green jewel nestled away in low-security Placid. Millions of people called it their home. They had built a successful agrarian society they were proud of, and had lived peacefully for generations without the need of any military.
Ten years ago today, all of that changed. Everyone in PlacidGÇöand beyondGÇöremembers where they were when everything that Reschard V was, was taken from us in a brutal and unforgivable terrorist attack that too few survived.
Everyone remembers where they were just days later when the Sisters of EVE convoy, bringing much-needed relief supplies and rescue equipment, was set upon by pirates and ultimately destroyed just within reach of its goal, adding thousands of more deaths to a toll that was already so difficult to comprehend. We remember how we thought that something like this could never happen to us, to Placid, to Reschard.
Today, the fields of wheat that once stretched like gold to the horizon are gone. There are no rows of corn reaching to the sky. Only the wind carries echoes of laughter of children who once played games of hide-and-seek among the crops, echoes of laughter of the hard-working men and womenGÇöentire generations of families who sought only to live their lives in peace. Today, Reschard V is a barren wasteland, a graveyard silently guarding the dead.
The tragic events of February 9, YC108 still have an impact on many people today. No one can ever fully appreciate the struggle the survivors endured during the seven months they spent trapped on the surface before being rescued. Some of them suffer post-traumatic stress disorder and many are unable, even today, to put their experience into words. We recognize and celebrate their courage, their determination, their perseverance.
On this day of remembrance, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals of peace and justice, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope. Let February 9, YC108 be a day that we wish never to know again.
Though the victims may be reborn someday, we are nevertheless diminished by their absence. Please join me in observing a moment of silence at 0900 today in their honor.
Thank you.

Today we remember a community lost.
We remember those who woke from their beds but would not return to them. We remember those who tended their crops but would not reap them. We remember those who had dreams and aspirations but would not achieve them.
The events of ten years ago today saw a peaceful Intaki colony wiped out during the planet-wide devastation on Reschard V.
But we also remember those who came to the survivors aid.
We remember the efforts of the first aid convoys and their escorts, and we remember the price they paid. And we remember that they did not give up in the face of aggression and piracy.
We remember that they came back for those Intaki survivors, that they tried again and they succeeded.
There are some alive today thanks to their actions.
Those acts of bravery and goodwill continue to influence a range of positive initiatives and projects today. We can only hope that these efforts do justice to the the legacy left by those who helped in Reschard.

Despite being occupied with the fight for my own people's freedom in my Ushra'Khan days, news of Reschard V sent a big enough shockwave through the whole cluster to reach the eyes and ears of many. Even deep in the Minmatar Republic, or the fringes of null sec space in Providence.
No matter who you are, or where you were that day. No matter your origins in life, and the path you walk now. Remember.

It is up to us to bring meaning to loss of this magnitude. Doing right by the departed calls for a commitment as the Suresha suggests, and that is a commitment worth making.
In remembrance. |

The destruction of Reschard V was one of the most horrific events in the history of the Placid region, i remember the news feeds and the shock of realizing every planet could be a target for weapons of mass destruction delivered directly from space.
That is perhaps why i find so moving your invitation to honor the innocent lives of those who perished that day.
Sadly, previous commitments will not allow me to join at the scheduled time, but will try my best to dedicate a moment of silence in remembrance tonight. |
