<Snipped quote by Arawak>
Why? Are you concerned that there won't be enough action?
Because it would be easy for me and @Sigma to get a Xim vs. Federation war going on again- a war in which everyone would start taking sides and leading to an intergalactic World War.
OR perhaps MONARCH has some kind of systems failure, leading to a drone accidentally firing on someone of another nation, raising tensions between the two groups and all their allies.
OR perhaps a group of rouge not-Kazzlehorfs stir up distrust between Kazzlehorf and other nations.
Few of our nations are conquerors, but many of them are paranoid, unfriendly and distrusting of eachother. It wouldn't be hard to turn that into tension, economic warfare, cold war, or just plain war. None of the nations in WW1 were evil, X'Cor-style villains, and yet it still happened.
Just one more empire that is all conquer-y in nature with a different mindset from the X'cor is really all I want. A conqueror with more of a 'benevolent dictator' edge for instance. The sort of civ that believes "we have to make everyone citizens of our civilization, it is our burden". (The New Aghellion Republic may fill this niche already)
Kazzlehorf rogues? That is pretty much what Captain Kasahov will be since Kasahov has gone a several more steps beyond simply not having the same behaviorisms as Kazzlehorf. Kazzlehorf normally would just kill and make canned non-Kazzlehorf of Kasahov, but Kazzlehorf you see takes ludicrous extremes to ensure absolute conformity at all costs. So that is why it wants Kasahov not only dead, but also to be as morbidly tortured for as long as possible and to have in-depth, high resolution footage of said torture.
