Oh. :( Well, anyways, what if instead of letting the Kraal keep their independence, the French Republic actually keeps their land and assimilates them into the empire. The Hal'Sk empire wouldn't really care, since they were sort of enemies afterall. However, there was another empire that was right near the Kraal, the Chi'Lurian Federation. They were as bad as the Kraal were politically, and were bigger, at *whatever number is acceptable* planets. They also gave the Kraal all of their equipment, but when the french come knocking, they can't help the Kraal because they know they would be destroyed. So, they just begrudginly sit in the corner, saying "We'll help you... We'll help you... Oh... Your government is gone, now we are not obligated to help you, too bad...". And essentially stay out of it. However, the Chi'Lurian Federation would hate the French Republic pretty badly after that, since they lost thier export partner, plus they don't have a regime to support their regime anymore. Fast-Foward a few years, and the Federation was forced to Liberalize due to internal pressures, alot. Now a corrupt, authoritarian democracy, the Chi'Lurian Federation still dislikes the French, and the French probably feel the same way about them. In addition, the Chi'Lurian Federation has what I like to call "I wanna be the guy!" syndrome, where they essentially want to reach greatness, and be that big political entity that has lots of influence. So disliking the French AND wishing to be imperialist and expand greatly, I think can lead to some interesting stories.

Anyways, what do you think about it? :) Also, this is sort of a new idea that came into my head, so we can adjust it accordingly so it best fits the situation.
