[quote=Legion02]I got a suggestion. You say the planet of Ram is very green and fertile. Not every planet needs to be turned into an industrial powerhouse. The empire requires food too. In fact, if it can easily man 2000 corvettes & destroyers with 15 people each, its probably consuming quite a few tonnes of food each day. So thinking as an Imperial Govenor: Why invest in factories when you can become a granary for the Empire? The clans would be forced to pay a tithe to the humans living in the cities (let's act really xenophobic here and say they demand 90% of every harvest). The humans feel safe in their walled off cities and can act all high-and mighty about their civilian lives. While the hordes can hate them for practically taking their food. Rebellion would be simple: first a few tribes in far away regions (like mountains or amazon-like rainforests) could seize sending a tithe. Patrols to demand the payment could get slaughtered and there you have it! Snowball effect. Other tribes rally to the cause, the conflict starts to escalate. Reïnforcements are called in from space (cause yk, the empire's food supply is at stake). Again, just a mere suggestion.[/quote] I think that they would do that but I think exporting meat products and aqua-cultural products like lobsters would be much more profitable in terms of business. Also most of the survivors were shipped off towards other worlds as slaves, like the rabbits who excels in maintain and working on the fields so they would mostly farm in plantations or regular farms while the much sturdier species would be more useful in mines and in hauling cargo. The Rarians don't really care for food that much because they are not picky eaters, the only thing that matters to them is when is the next fight. Seeing as the first wave of EOM soldiers where wiped out by the Rarians venturing into Rarian majority areas would be in no doubt be very unhealthy to the said person, and the only reason why the Rarians went underground in the first place is because of the EOM ships that wiped out their armies. The Rarians were already ready to rebel in day one its just that the EOM ships are just too un-fair for them as the moment they rebel the EOM would just retreat back to their ships and from a safe distance gun them all down. I liked your suggestion but it just that it isn't very Rarian for me. but seriously I liked it.
