Fiction:Nentus

The Nenti (the collective name for both species of the genus Nentus, Nentophins and Nentocrems) are a usually peaceful, lawful empire that only goes to war to forcefully teach empires that do not respect life, and if that doesn't work, destroy them. They are an independent empire that does not make permanent alliences, but makes small, usually temporary friendships for the express purpose of buying terraforming tools and spice from them. The army consists almost entirely of unmanned, small probes with a turret mounted on them that are used for defense. The rest is called "The Attack Fleet", made up of 100 manned ships that carry more advanced weaponry. The Attack Fleet is used to show anti-life empires their wrongdoings. However, this is not used on the Grox because no matter what anyone does, they just don't seem to care. The Nentus Empire, unlike many others, enjoys it to watch one of their stones of life or scrolls of science being carried away by an alien probe. They see it as spreading the knowledge. While they are particularly aggressive towards regularly warring empires, they do not care for monarchies, as democracy and the freedom of choice is the only way for life and sentience to truly express itself.
