<Snipped quote by Lauder>

Hmm, a civilization that places far too much of an emphasis on a meritocracy based on something as barbaric as kildcount and is a major proponent of slavery? The Republic gleefully denies the offer, and instead arms its trade and assault cruisers alike with rifles specifically fitted to tear off six appendages at once.
