In Response To: Evil? Depends... (William Spencer)

: Yeah, I suppose that makes them evil...but the UESC commited many of the same
: mistakes...and many other governments on Earth, even in the early 21st
: century, have too. Probably even your own. (I know mine has.)

No human despotism covers the entire galaxy, though. It doesn't even impose itself on other species, as far as we know.

: Heck, in an us-vs.-them humans-vs.-aliens conflict, morality goes out the
: window anyway. Who cares if the aliens are more or less evil than we
: humans? If there's only room enough in the galaxy for one of us, we'd
: rather not be the ones that have to leave, whatever our flaws.

When you're not really human, you're free to pick a side. At Tau Ceti, I just wanted to assist the defenseless side of a murderers-vs.-civilians conflict. It seemed like the Levelerish thing to do, and I'd probably make the same decision if the UESC military was slaughtering unarmed Pfhor. I'd really like to see a scenario based on that, in fact.

After M1, I just didn't want to get teleported into space. But I tried not to kill Pfhor senselessly, just on extermination missions, when they were in my way, and when humans or S'pht were involved.
