Of all the... he... why is he insisting on carrying the conflict further after resorting to the "blow up my own planet" desperation tactic? I mean, the propaganda war that he just unleashed on himself is going to suck.
"Oh, hi! I'm here to liberate you! Never mind that I'm probably going to blow up your planet and everyone on it to get rid the defense fleet first."

This won't end well.

Inferior animals and xenos... they are afraid of death and would rather shed their freedom for survival than their survival for freedom. A planet without liberty is nothing, a life without liberty is worse than death.
Solarians would rather destroy entire universes, including their own, than surrender.

"Everywhere you prod it, even with the shortest stick, the established system isn't simply corrupt, it's unequivocally putrescent. The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable criminals, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you." (L. Neil Smith) "
La perfection est atteinte non quand il ne reste rien à ajouter, mais quand il ne reste rien à enlever.

No use of life if you're forever subjugated, because in the sort of quasi-realistic FT Solarians belong to "resistance" is inevitably futile. You lost control of space, you lost everything.Derscon wrote:No use of freedom if you're dead. Solarians are stupid.

Except he hasn't lost control of space. By the time he triggered the explosion, all of Parvitta's allies had run away and 70% of his fleet had been destroyed.
