[quote=@Araby264] *The crystal enters my proximity and slows to a stop before turning a bright blue. The crystals turn towards you* Did you ever think that maybe... Just maybe. This wasn't the only planet I was attacking? *laughs* Please, if I had attacked this place with the full might of the Crystal legion it would have been taken hours ago. *the crystals project images into the air, people running and screaming. Militarized planets fighting back but losing in the face of the Crystal Empire's forces. All the planets that the team couldn't be on because they were fighting here being swiftly taken over.* By the time we're finished here those planets will have Been converted into war factories, laboratories, City Fortresses of grand proportions! All you've done here... [i]Everything[/i]! Has been for [b][i]NOTHING! YOU HAVE CHANGED NOTHING![/i][/b] [/quote] Has it? You've yet to face another mighty empire that is militarily a worthy opponent. I recognize none of those worlds as Alliance worlds. I recognize not one of your truly threatening enemies as being eliminated. You call that imperialistic expansion? I call it predatorial opportunism. Taking the worlds that you know stand no chance. The size you'll amass by conquering the weak is honestly the opposite of threatening.
