Page 4 - Iron Will Issue Y20 Q1

Notes from the Ministry

Imperials, welcome to the first edition of the Iron Will for Year 20. Though the publication of the Iron
Will has often been set back in many of its previous incarnations, this time we set out to recreate a
magazine to capture the vision of the New Order, and how it relates to current events within the galaxy.
We set out to expose key figures from all over the Empire to all our readers, to preserve and exalt their
accomplishments. But most importantly, we set out to celebrate the ethos that makes us Imperials, and
the successes each of us achieve as a matter of course. We are confident that we have succeeded -
though if we have not, we welcome your feedback, and promise to do better next time. It is this drive
that we hope will keep this incarnation of the Iron Will alive through many future publications. Of
course, this drive did not just conjure itself out of thin air; we have many to thank for it: Minister von
Veritrax who provided the vision for the project, and the rest of the Imperial Information Service for putting it to practice. But even
that would not be telling the whole story - many others were involved in this project, including artists such as Maia Yen, and even
some of the people you are going to read about in the following pages; their cooperation and faith in us to do them justice is
something we are grateful for. Our hope is that as you read these words, you will be enlightened about the journey of the Empire,
inspired by its accomplishments, while also appreciating the setbacks it has had to face in this journey, and, perhaps, set out to
apply the virtues we seek to uphold in your own lives.
