The Empress smiled in a humorous way, finding the actions of the Triarians funny. 
[i]Hah! They are too blind to grasp how important seeing through the eyes of one's enemy is, they had better learn if they want to accomplish their ultimate goal.[/i]
"I wish to commend the Sazkarjhit, for being able to understand what the Empress said, few others do. However, we honestly must concur with the Collective on the Pact." Said Dmitri "The Equiis Pact does seem Equestrian-centric. Their treaty is also incredibly flawed, and do not think the Federation has ignored that. We have contingency plan after contingency plan for any relations breakdown between us and the Equiis Pact, as the saying goes, 'Better safe than sorry'. As for the ground warfare only proposition, we disagree. The law would only increase casualties, as it is much easier to get someone to surrender if you've taken out their defenses and have a way to annihilate their atmosphere." He nodded to the Empress, who then spoke.
"Since the Collective appears to only want to attack the Equiis Pact due to them being Equestrian-centric and imperialist, then perhaps we could solve the problem the Collective has pointed out instead of outright bringing down the Pact. The Pact could introduce equality laws, perhaps a renaming as well, and this could be seen by Triarian observers. The Federation would be willing to ensure fully that the reforms are in place, and prevent any violence."
