The galaxy was home to numerous species, each with different agendas and ways of doing things. It was doubtful they could even agree to sit at the same table, let alone rise together against a common threat. Frankly, such a unified front was a very, very distant possibility.

We are prepared, and with time, we will only become stronger. This place is the center—the foundation from which our Empire and our aspirations will rise! No one shall stand in my way. If they dare, I will crush them with forces the likes of which they have never seen or heard of!"
