*EDIT* "The following is said in character and very tongue-in-cheek"
It is plain from the numbers thus far that the coalition will be outnumbered. Any changes to the ratios in this poll to the contrary will reflect only the might of the Federation as they are not above the use of disinformation to instill a sense of overconfidence in an adversary. They have always used their monetary might and trade power to attempt to subjugate the other races. This will be no exception. Their brave captains will come here and talk of how they do not stand a chance and how the odds are terribly against them... do not listen to their rhetoric. The Federation and her latest lapdog, the Tholians, will be well prepared and sufficient in numbers should we fail to remain vigilant.
For the glory of the Empire!
