I was giving some thought into why two theocracies following totally dissimilar religions might be allies, and I came to the general conclusion that the Cognatus Empire is slowly and subtly converting Zarni to the Cognatus religion, hoping that they'll take over and provide a better foothold in the Milky Way, while the Zarni's religion emphasises wrecking up the universe and making it a miserable place to live, and view the Cognatus as the best way to achieve that goal in Cyrannus regardless of their religion (though they wouldn't use those words exactly).

What do you think of this idea?
