The Void In Between

"The Might of One protects the Masses, but will it be enough? For all the Strength they can muster, can the Hammond Empire protect the nations that share the galaxy with them? We shall see...oh yes...we shall see...""The impressive might of the Hammond Empire is the bulwark that protects our galaxy. When we saw them militarize so quickly, so suddenly, so violently...we asked questions. When they gave us gifts that we were told to utilize for our navies and militaries, we asked again. When that terrible day came...we asked no more.""Let the enemy come. Let them eviscerate our border systems! Let them wipe out our chokepoint stars and fortresses! Let them come right to our front door, for all I care! I will defend this galaxy till my dying day, and I will take every threat with me!"
