[WP] We “knew” humans were weak as they avoided every war with diplomacy. We never imagined they’d be this ruthless & how seemingly overnight they went from peaceful beings to a state they call “TOTAL WAR”. War is in their blood & soul. They thrive on it, mostly when the odds are against them
We've studied them for hundreds of years. It was a simple planet, barely reaching passed their own moon. Our records showed they knew of war, they knew it well, but in their modern times they avoided it with diplomacy. The weaklings pleadings of mercy to the powerful. Our emperor laughed. Such actions mean weakness to...
I stare as reports blink onto my viewscreen in droves. Cities burned. Continents irradiated. People, military and civilian alike, massacred in droves. I sigh, my hearts heavy with grief. I warned the Council. I did. "Seek out their historical databases, study their art, learn about them." But they would not listen to...

Executions are all the same. Pleading, begging, crying. Mere words. Words do not stay the executioner's hand. Words are silenced by the sword.

When the human race first entered our star systems, we thought they were laughable. They came to “explore” and “settle”, but they appeared very poorly equipped and naïve to be doing such things. Of course, they were not the first race we’ve seen with colonizing of any sort on the mind; our people have dabbled with that...

Senator Pysto of Ravlotl moved through the cramped, iron and wooden interior of his home. His new home, at least. What remained of his species existed underground, though the senator chose to remain above ground in an armored bunker. It was not unlike the pillboxes of old earth, but with smaller, round passages made of...

*<<Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum>>. <<He who desires peace, shall prepare for war>>.* The great roman writer Vegecio said those words 2500 years ago and, even as mankind has ventured into space, we have not forgotten, for ours is a history filled with war and death. When mankind ...

The red light was blinking, indicating the failure of the shields, but the commander Ze’hyl could not be bothered.

[WP] We “knew” humans were weak as they avoided every war with diplomacy. We never imagined they’d be this ruthless & how seemingly overnight they went from peaceful beings to a state they call “TOTAL WAR”. War is in their blood & soul. They thrive on it, mostly when the odds are against them
“Examiner, have you reached any conclusions?” The holo-video lit up in the center of the laboratory. The face of Preator Endex filled the void in the center of the room. “Yes. Praetor.

We've studied them for hundreds of years. It was a simple planet, barely reaching passed their own moon. Our records showed they knew of war, they knew it well, but in their modern times they avoided it with diplomacy. The weaklings pleadings of mercy to the powerful. Our emperor laughed. Such actions mean weakness to...

"Well, we knew the humans *had* a military. They had to, you see. The worlds they were colonizing were dangerous, lots of life forms that want nothing but to kill..." the old soldier trailed off, lost in his memories. "I understand sir, but..."
