Ah well to be honest it felt more like the point was being just outright ignored, I'm used to people ignoring key bits of information to strengthen their own argument, especially when talking politics. Like you said that was not your intent, but when what your use to seeming is seemingly reasonable and pleasant people suddenly developing rabbis when politics come up, well you can probably see how that would color your view. The fact that we lack things like tone of voice, facial expression, and body posture when posting here does not help.

Anyway I'll keep them militarized. Mostly though from a literary perspective (which I should have explained from the beginning) as the Persan are supposed to be Unscrupulous Heroes and Neutral Good ones at that. Heroic and Good because they generally would just rather keep to themselves then go out of their to cause trouble, do genuinely care about the other UAE members, will come to the defense of those weaker then them, are a rather egalitarian society all things considered, and oppose truly horrifying enemies like the Scelus. Unscrupulous and Neutral thanks to their pragmatism bordering on ruthlessness at times, blue and orange morality, rather disturbing habits, apathetic to most other powers in the gigaquadrant, and their way more concerned with results then methods. Its key to their characterization and I simply won't undermine it.

I'll add the Persan back to the Covenant and I guess I can participate in more of these conversations just as long as what Zilla said above and what I said about this being fiction are taken into consideration in the discussion. I guess I've always just operate the Persan off the, "don't bug the bears policy," and I've been in many places with lots of bears. Its actually incredible how many people don't get that bothering furry death on legs is a bad idea.
