>>5505057 An all-out war campaign would cause unnecessary damage to the planet and drastically decrease the number of people, or tools, recoverable after the conflict.
In addition to losing a few weeks of time in the process.
Building a space station around this world would be the biggest waste of time in the history of the empire. I know this was an example of the difference in strength but it is also a great example of overkill.
Nano QM confirmed that this world hasn't seen a real invasion in decades maybe centuries. My plan to pulverize the world's largest mountain using the black fortress would be the quickest and most painless way to achieve the goal.
My point is not that we could be beaten here, my point is that there are better ways to achieve our goals. If you could conquer the world without killing so many people, wouldn't that be better?
Look, I want to make one thing very clear, I'm the guy who will always vote saying that throwing a metal rod from the planet's orbit would be the best solution for any problem. But I refuse to treat humans like this, if there is a way to minimize human loss in any conflict I will support it. Because I believe in the words Tal0S said to that doll. I believe we can leave worlds much better off than we found them, I believe a cultist is capable of having a soul.
