Re: An explanation My lord,
It is with profound regret that I tender to you this department's deepest apologies. But, as I have explained before, we are bound by Imperial law and regulations. When you denounced Darth Balkana as a traitor, we were all shocked, of course. But the resulting combat damaged all of her exquisite office furniture. You are not allowed to use damaged furniture. We have every confidence that Imperial Security will reach the right result in their investigation of her treachery.
Had the furniture been merely scuffed we could have repaired it expeditiously here and returned it to you by next quarter, which is exceptionally speedy, you must agree.
As it now stands, the furniture was damaged so badly we had to return it to the manufacturer for salvage. Tarexchaco, Inc. is a reputable firm and should have your executive chair in full repair shortly.
By way of apology I am enclosing a souvenir holocron of our beloved Ruler.
Glory to the Emperor!
