As Radok replied to her she had to drag her mind out of the gutter, filled with ideas about the Vesk and Android women. Oh to be a fly on the wall...<br/><br/><strong>"For legs of the journey there are transportation devices of various kinds. Well the Pact Worlds are a Federation not an Empire. The Station has immense compacted defensive power in it's integrated weapons and defensive counter measures but you can't avail of them on the offensive. Back when things started after the gap, there was a world here, we know that from records. Gollarion and most of the races here were suspected to be native to it. The gap was fresh in people's minds."<br/><br/>"Early conflict with the Veskarium made it clear that none of the individual worlds could stand against the power of a solar system united under the Veskarium Empire by themselves. So it was that terms were brought forward and then for well over two centuries the Pact Worlds and Veskarium Empire well you know the tales from a different angle. Both groups refined their abilities and pushed each other forward. One could see it as a badge of honor for the Veskarium, they were the catalyst for the formation of one of their biggest rivals, such is their strength that enemies were forced to unite to withstand them."</strong>She gave Radok a nod of respect. There was no bitterness in what she said, it was the way things happened.<br/><br/><strong>"Of course things at least got to settle down when the Swarm showed up. Now I get to know hot Vesk like yourself. Fighting beside you under the current circumstances is a much better state of affairs. The Pact Worlds are far from perfect, it took way too long to give Androids their rights for example, but it is improving."</strong>Elia gave Rae an apologetic smile as she said the last part. She couldn't resist sliding her hand from around Rae's shoulder to around her waist curious to gauge her reaction.
