Star Trek: Terra Alpha

"This confederacy of governments that can stand alone, yet do so under one flag is a great step in that direction. Losing one doesn't topple the whole." Stormrage replied. "We can bend but not break. I think it wise for all of us in this room to not forget about self-defence even if you see Terra Al...

"You do not want it Admiral," Stormrage said with a smirk, "But you are the best person for the job."

Stormrage crossed his arms, "Tradition is what has held the Empire together despite all of the external and internal strife since Youlan the Great conquered the last independent kingdom two-thousand years ago.
