"We trust you not to act on it simply because if our empire fell apart we would never pay all that money we owe you. And the problem is slowly being delt with anyway...."
*sips drink*
"But enough about war, the galaxy has seen to much of it allready."

"I suspect, bondman, that we'll see a great deal more of it as time passes. This is a time of expansion, a turning point unlike any seen since the Genocide Wars. Powers are coming out of the masonry, and some are intent on building empires." With that, he eyed the Arcane and Nashtar ambassadors.

"And when empires form, the weak band together to defend themselves forming new empires. Then their are alliances and the fragile system runs faster and faster towards.......the next genocide war."
She grins.
"Same thing happened during this planets First World War, looks like human nature never changes."

"Oh come come! Have we forcibly taken a single world without direct provocation? If you look through our history you will find that every single one of our worlds joined voluntarily; there are even two inhabited worlds in the star cluster that declined membership; they are left alone. Surely if we wanted empire we'd start there?"

"No need to eye us accusingly. You have done some expanding yourself"

President Major chuckled at that. "I don't, I'm afraid."

"Enjoying yourself Mr.President?" Then the Lord Protector turned to Nut.

"Hello, I don't believe we've meet?" He asked

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2004-05-02 10:48pm

"Please. I don't see how you can describe your immediate and brutal conquest and subsequent occupation of the Covenant as anything besides imperialism."

A dignified alien walked forward.

"Not if we can help it. We live on Earth, we can see its pains, and we saw the galaxy's pains like no other. Monacora learns quickly from its mistakes, we will ensure that the same mistakes made before the Genocide Wars are never made again. I, by the way, am the Prime Minister of Monacora, a pleasure to make your aquantinces."

"Please, I don't see how the Covenant was anything but a massive threat to the surrounding nations. If you'll recall, their fleet attacked one of our major worlds. And I don't see how you have any room to accuse us of imperialism when we occupy a few cities on one planet while you took three systems from the same Covenant."

"A mere necessity. We had to ensure that the Edean shipyards didn't fall to powers who would- misuse them. Since our bombardment of Edean, we have seen fit to protect the survivors, as they can no longer defend themselves."

The sub-Speaker smiled.

"And besides, we never took it upon ourselves to turn their people into cattle. Is it true what they say about your usage of arcane means to twist human minds on a large scale?"

"Of course the Covenant needed to be taught a lesson- a simple punitive treaty would have done as well. They could have been castrated as a power."

"Yes it is, but of course it would be hypocritical of me to critizise it."

"Only for a short time period, and it was actually to protect them and our troops when we landed. We would rather compel them to have warm fuzzy feelings about us for a week than have to kill hundreds of thousands in order to land and get the military infastructure going"

"It was not our choice. We would have been satisfied with that, but their government completely capitulated and vanished before we even arrived in system."

"Ah. Choice-theft. A crime punishable by death by the Giudice. Curious, isn't it? A most foolish method of taking the world. It seems that your spells didn't have as fine an effect as you imagined."
