Ahh.. Its probably for the better. Let me just tell you a story..
The year is 2187.. The first galactic war was over. The Human Altarian Alliance had finally brought peace to the galaxy after years of fighting the Yor Collective and the Drengin Empire. After the Yor had completely surrendered to the Altarians, the Drengin Empire signed a peace treaty with the Human Altarian Alliance, costing them all of their influence, military power, and their outer colony Skowbow II.
With the war over, the HAA seeked to bring the Torian Confederation into their powerful alliance. The Torians had supplied both the HAA with economic and military support against the Yor and Drengin in the darkest days of the war. Now, the Humans want to meet with the Torians to negiotiate an alliance.
But the Torian Confederation was over thrown by an opposing political party, and a new leader took command of the Torian population. The Torian Empire now had all of it's military forces positioned throughout Human systems due to their previous military support for the HAA. The Torian Empire preamptively attacked the Human's inner colonies. All Human fleets were ambushed by Torian forces. Choas erupted throughout the region. The humans had superior ships, and thus were able to defend the ambushes, regroup, repair, and await further orders.
With the Torian Empire's military now cut in half, the Humans could regroup and strike them at their heart. The Altarians sent a fleet of their finest ship to fight along with the Humans in their retailiation. Toria, the Torian's home world, was also the industrial capital of the Empire. The Humans knew that if they could take Toria, the war would be over instantly. And so, to ensure that peace would not be disturbed in the galaxy, a massive strike force was assembled and the Humans gave the order to disable Toria's defences, and invade via normal tacticle combat.
The strike force crushed every Torian ship in their path. But no one expected what would be waiting for them once they reached their objective. When they reached Toria, the most massive and deadliest space battle the galaxy had seen since the Yor's attempted invasion of Earth, escalated out of control. The Torian's military had been underestimated. A military starbase was posistioned just a parsec from their homeworld, and that posed to be a major snag in the mission. The strike force had a total 8 battle transports they had to protect at all costs, and the chances of the invasion were looking slimmer by the hour. Suddenly, the Torian's starbase had exploded, sending debrise going hundreds of miles a second in every direction. Anti-matter missiles.
Now the Human forces had a chance. With the starbase gone, the Torian ships had no advantages. Torian's fleets were thining. 2 transports had been destroyed. But worse, a total of 16 billion lives were lost. The remaining transports were given the signal to enter orbit and invade. After a month of war, billions upon billions of Torians were murder. As the Human's history tends to repeat itself, this war was a 100 times more brutal than the Nazi invasion of Poland, and the holocaust during World War II back in the 20th centuary A.D. The only difference was that the Humans were now much more efficient than Hitler ever was.
Toria was no different to the humans as Poland was to the Nazis. Toria fell, and the Humans now controlled one of the Galaxy's most productive planets. But the invasion served as a pawn. In the big picture, the Humans would now sell Toria back to the Torian Empire for 20,000bc a month for 50 months in exchange for a peace treaty, thus bankrupting the Empire for decades to follow.
The Torians went on to be conquered and enslaved by the Drengin in 2199 during Galactic War II, as they had no economy or military.
The HAA went on to vanquish the Drengin once and for all, and brought peace to the galaxy forever.
The End.
Moral of the story: Dont F^ck with the Humans. Oh, and that the old system could be exploited to gain ridiculas amounts of money that the AI doesnt even have to give you. Once they ran out of money, it would just put them further and further in debt while giving me money that they technically dont have.
Thanks for fixing it, I hope you liked my story
