Conqueror's Whip: Abandoning the traditional paradigms of mechanical and energy weapons, it herded the power of life itself on a galactic scale. Its pursuit was not destruction, but "conquest," "assimilation," and "evolution"—transforming every species across the galaxy into a living ecosystem that could be wantonly shaped by civilization and ultimately serve "ascension."

Within this force field, only the Nomads' mode of ascension was a legal and correct way of existing.

But even more terrifyingly, the "meaning" of civilization was erased—all unique technologies, cultures, and philosophies were devoured and broken down by the tide, until nothing remained but the extreme pursuit and imitation of "biological ascension" and the "Great Khan's power."
It did not destroy life. It destroyed the diversity of civilization and all potential
