Fiction:Great Xonexian Schism/Orion War/Behind closed doors



"For many of us, our forced surrender to Emperor Tokzhalat to join the Earth humans, and indeed other long competitive enemies was unconscionable. Unlike many others before, for centuries we had maintained independent sovereignty.  We believed the temporary coalition would fall within weeks.  However, we were dragged into the New Grox Wars shortly after and that continued for years.  Once again, we believed we could restore honour to our warrior heritage and breathe power back into house bloodlines.  That would mean bringing back the traditions of our feuds between the KC.  But then we found ourselves at war with the Dominatus, defending Terrans! It was a reluctant defence.  The Allied Terran Republic and Orion League had done their best to federalise us under their values, Kindred spirits they called it.  But the only cognate values to share was competition and war. We felt they had put in brainwashed leaders."
