But man, the Feelipeenis is poor. We can probably only afford 2, and even then they'll ended up unused and rusted down and shitty...

Yes, we'll take them!
Will they turn them into Jeepneys?

Well Force Lord, I can think of at least one organization that makes extensive use of third-party military hardware (and personnel!), has money, and likes to work with small ships in isolated corners of space.

Besides, they're already a bit short on ships, what with your own fleet having blown up a bunch of them lately...

No, cause the second the androgynous albinos think he's infirm, he'll throw his blanket off like a fluttering cape, reveal himself capable of standing, and he'll throw Jenova's decaffeinated head out of the building, forcing the albino to leap for mommy, while he also jumps off the building trying to shoot Jenova's decaffeinated head with a frickin' swordgun, and when we think he's gonna turn into street pizza, he is saved by Turkish guys in suits who catch him with the net gun. Then Kroudu does some stuff and duels Serafirarothu and stuff happens and explosions and giant monsters and geostigmalifestreamlimitbreaks and ta-da! The end!

Just a little reminder here: you have a Warp Gate, CN. You don't need to send the emissary "26 sectors", a month-long journey, when your warp gate permits you to send any vessel of Light value or less.

That would prevent him from sending an escort, as none of his combat ships are below $55.

If you're heading towards someones home system via a warp gate i doubt your escort matters. The only one who is remotely likely to be there other than you is your host, and if they want you gone. You're gone. and an escort would at best give you a few minutes fear and dismay considering the stuff people typically have at their homeworlds.

While a "Purge" of Orkish worlds is a dream of some militarists within Klavostan, there are other considerations other than the simple sheer economic and social costs of bringing such a war to completion - for instance, the Orcish population of the Servian Republic makes their reaction to such a genocide... unsettlingly uncertain.
"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

What do they Orcs care? They have about as much similarity to Orks as Santa's elves have to Legolas.

As to economic costs, if I could convince the Chamarrans or the Argenti to aid us, we could get a planet each.

There's also the fact that there are small ork populations distributed throughout the galaxy. Launch an attack on the biggest concentration of them in human space and others are liable to zoom in on the place in search of a "zoggin' good scrap."

Not smart.

So the problem with killing all of the Orks is that you get to kill them all at once? I don't see what they could do to the fleets of 2 or 3 empires.

Plus, if the entire galaxies Orks get slaughtered by your forces, you get + points with every empire. 8)

If they follow 40k rules, they'll regrow in a few years and you'll be back at square one and you'll just be wasting your time. Nah, better to just leave 'em in relative peace to fight amongst each other.

No espers have been sentenced to be executed or tortured in your entire multi-billion person state? Really?

I need to get this data from them soon, the faster I do, the faster I can add psychic powers to the DNA of every fetus, newborn, infant, child, and adolescent in the entire Empire! Or at the very least control and train the ones that are budding anyway since we have no experience with them.

Which reminds me, I wonder if Shep would sell me any dampeners...

Just keep firing until everything is dead, then re-terraform the planets.

Or just destroy everything and colonize them anyway, using orbital bombardment and good city planing to get rid of any Orks that grow back.

Terraforming takes centuries in this setting, so that is a horrendous option if you want a usable planet.

Risks too many lives for most governments to want to deal with. The only government that I can think of that'd be willing to engage in that sort of crass indifference to their citizens is the Bragulans.

Not really, if you can colonize asteroids and the like as in Colony Sectors, you can easily do it to a Terran planet.

Or in other words, if you blast it to pieces, you could get at least a Colony Sectors worth of GDP from it.

Cough:Mine:Cough

Besides, I don't see why it would be so difficult, put down a few cities, surround them with killbots, and blast anything that has vehicles or large groups of Orks from orbit. They will expand, and eventually you can just have massive sweeps to permanently end the Orks.
