"What does she want? No one founds an empire without holding territorial ambitions. It is ridiculous to expend so much resources into building so many war planets, warfleets and transportation vessels."
"Does she seek to conquer our territories?"

"Legality is dead in this day, age and galaxy. Force is the only law that matters, and right now, the Polymath enjoys a 53-year head-start compared to the rest of the competition. As painful as it is to lose ownership of all of our assets and personnel in Bridgehead One, we need to admit to the reality that exists, not the reality that only exists in our fantasies. I recommend that we give up any attempt at contesting Her Imperial Majesty's claim on Bridgehead One."
"Because might makes right."
