War in Heaven!

[Empire Log: War in Heaven]

[Ever since the Rixi and their rivals, the Phethisia, awakened, these two giants had engaged in sporadic clashes over influence, probing each other's strength. This eventually led to a series of escalating conflicts.

Finally, in a distant star system, an open fleet battle broke out between the Rixi fleet and their Phethisia counterparts. This clash had now developed into an all-out war between the Rixi Reconquest Empire and the Phethisia Arbitrator Empire.

Each side dispatched a representative to the younger species, promising lavish rewards to those who joined them and harsh punishment to those who opposed them.

Choosing to support either side would mean surrendering our sovereignty, but remaining neutral might prove even more dangerous unless we could find other neutral nations to cooperate with us.

Of course, these choices applied only to other nations. For us humans, even awakened, these two ancient empires that should have sunk into the mire of history could forget about challenging the authority of the Empire.

We had no desire to get involved in the feud between the Chauvinist Revanchists and the Benevolent Interventionists unless they interfered with our interests. Of course, seeing either side become dominant was not what we wanted, either.

Without a doubt, the war in heaven had erupted. Within a few years, it would develop into a massive war engulfing the entire universe. How should we regard it?]

[As their de facto overlord, we should support the Rixi Reconquest Empire.]

[As a junior who once received their guidance, we should support the Phethisia Arbitrator Empire.]

[As the great Human Empire, we hope they know better than to ask for trouble.]

[They will all bow before us!!!]
