Brunswick claimed in a report listened to by Simon Dodds on 22nd April, 2617 that the civil war in Mitikas was entering its fifth year, with no sign of the Emperor Adam Lorenzo or the Imperial Senate's loyalist being ready to back down any time soon. The truce negotations between Fleet Admiral Jason Zackaria and the Ministerial Envoy Extraordinaire had also yet again failed.

Dodds and the other White Knights later discovered that this report had been fabricated and that the Mitikas Empire had in fact been wiped out by the Pandoran army (as stated by PJ Burgess).
