It isn't a revolution; it's a rebellion.

If you are reading this, Brody, the empire needs your help. We have never had anything against you, it was all in your head! So, please, come out of hiding. We need you! Recently, the king on the planet Lich has formed a rebellion to over throw the empire. YOUR empire. Since he is physically unable to listen to reason, we were hoping you could come with us to Lich and idly threaten him like you do to everyone else. If you agree to help us and succeed, you are guaranteed your place back on your "throne".
