Hosnian Cataclysm

"Today is the end of the Republic! The end of a regime that acquiesces to disorder! This fierce machine which you have built, upon which we stand, will bring an end to the Senate! To their cherished fleet! All remaining systems will bow to the First Order! And will remember this… as the last day of the Republic!"

- Allegiant General Armitage Hux addresses the troops of the First Order on Starkiller Base immediately prior to the superweapon's first (and only) live-fire usage.
