In response to this message, the Galactic Alliance Council declares war on the Interstellar Dominion, sparking the First Colonial War. He then concludes with the execution of the last Galactic Alliance diplomat on Titan. Arnold explains that the Galactic Alliance had not successfully completed their job of making an equal and unified galactic community and that it was only a matter of time before another form of power took its place.
