Empire: Difference between revisions

{{Quote|When our ancestors departed Earth, they asked themselves: which of our achievements represents the best of humanity, that we may bring it with us to illumine the darkness? The Federation, embroiled in a world of contracts and petty bickering, chose their Constitution. They placed their trust not in man himself, but in an imperfect work of man.<br/>But my ancestor - your first Emperor - was wiser. He knew that the best achievement of humanity was humanity itself. There was more wisdom in a single nucleotide of his noble DNA than in all the Federation's written texts.<br/>That same wisdom still guides us now. We need no dusty documents to assert our right! We are human, born to rule... and the universe awaits the firm hand of our governance.|[[Emperor]] [[Trasken Duval II]], undelivered draft speech<ref>''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' [[Knowledge Base]] > The Empire > Introduction</ref>}}
