"You act like actually getting a political order to do something is that easy. The factions within the galactic republic hate each other and will never successfully agree on anything, especially war. This isn't humans you're working with. These are ancient warring species. Almost all of whom have encountered and grown to fear the Armistaans. You can't just do whatever you want to try and cause conflict. You act like entire species can just be manipulated because you want them too. You control you, and only you." Not like you... but well said kitty.
Ninjakitty is correct, but how the hell does a cartoon cat know so much about galactic politics? Also, there is no chance of the Republic attacking the Matriarch. "The Armiistaan Empire has an uneasy truce with the Galactic Republic. They know that we would decimate them in open combat, so they would never dare take military action against my people. At the same time, Armiista has many trading partners in the Republic. Any untoward actions we take in Republic space puts us at risk of trade sanctions."
"Overpowered? Of course we are. We were one of the first sentient species to evolve in this galaxy, and our culture is millions of years old. In that time, we have reached a level of technology that is unrivaled in this and most other universes."
Pfft.... The Armiistaan's haven't heard of the Kalboth then. Of course, the Ryborians were apparently at the pre-industrial age before The Great Collapse occurred almost two million years ago. Had this event never happened, the Armiistaan's would had been curb-stomped into non-existance. Yet again, the two races could have found a way for peace to occur. We might never know.
Know what scares me more than the Armistaan military? Shippers. The only thing I have ever "shipped" were my own characters. Once. It made me feel strange and wrong after a while. I don't even like shipping canon relationships. Like Cadence and Shining armor. Ok, they in a relationship, whatever, I guess it's cute.
