The story explores a galaxy where humans act as ruthless peacekeepers, maintaining order through overwhelming military might. When a new power, the Xylari, emerge with a philosophy of progress-through-conflict, a brutal war erupts, pushing the humans to horrific extremes. Disillusioned allies like the Weyam are forced to question their understanding of humanity and the true price of peace. Ultimately, the war ends not in decisive victory but mutual exhaustion, leaving both humans and the galaxy fractured as they confront the terrible potential for darkness within themselves.

@JRRodriguez-nu7po 10 ай бұрын

I agree, the main contradiction is that peace through strength was never contradicted. Humans simply didn't have enough power to QUICKLY and utterly destroy the Xylar. This story failed to make the argument, and as above, is ultimately self contradictory. Much better was the story as presented by Babylon 5. There it wasn't overwhelming force but rather the excess of both chaos and order.

Glassing the Xylarin home world to inflict unacceptable casualties upon them to stop an implacable and unstoppable enemy is not without precedent. The WW-II Allied aerial fire bombings of the German city of Dresden which caused a city wide fire that was so intense that at one point, it caused a self-feeding, self-sustaining gigantic fire tornado that sucked the very air itself into it with such forceful winds that both people and debris of all kinds were literally picked up off the street and sucked into it from one or more blocks away. Also, the fire bombings of Japanese cities like Tokyo, with all Japanese cities having been constructed at that time with wood and paper products and thus they became city wide raging funeral pyres. These are examples of extreme wartime measures taken to stop an enemy that refused to even consider the concept or possibility of defeat. Even then, Nazi Germany did not surrender until the entire country including the last remaining city blocks of it's capitol Berlin, had been taken. Japan also remained firmly commited to fight to literally the last man, woman, and child, all of whom were in training in 1945 to fight and willingly die fighting an expected Allied invasion of the homeland. Both sides estimated Allied casualties from an invasion of Japan at over 1 million, and Japanese casualties were estimated severe enough to cause the Japanese race to be almost wiped out. It took the 2 atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with the radioed promise of many more if Japan didn't surrender, to finally break the Japanese will to fight. So this storyline is not without precedent.

Bullshit Japan did not surrender because the US of fucking A throw atomic bombs on them. They surrendered because the the russians pushed them back and prepared for a full scale invasion on Japan. No fucking warcrime against the germans or the japanese people stoped the war it just grew more hate.

While the nuclear bombs played a role they alone were not responsible for the surrender. The Japanese leadership was completely willing to sacrifice every single city and their entire population to buy themselves favourable terms. After all the result of nuclear bombardment wasn't too different from the vast fire bombings. Only the combined threat of conventional and nuclear bombardment and invasion from two sides by the US and Soviet Union forced them to surrender. The bombs certainly played a role but it's not the simple nukes --> surrender logic that is so ingrained in the popular understanding. On a side note the war could have ended weeks, months earlier even, had the US granted the single concession of not prosecuting the Japanese emperor. A concession that the US granted anyway. Many lives could have been saved on both sides. The battle of Okinawa would not have had to happen.

@edhenderson1655 10 ай бұрын

@@InLoveWithCities I agree 100%, and was aware of almost everything you said. The item I wasn't aware of was that the Allies were planning to actually prosecute the Emperior. I thought the Allies were just demanding he be dethroned, so I learned something new. Thanks. I agree that the nuclear bombs and the bluff threat that followed of facing "...a (nuclear) rain of destruction such as the world has never known..." if Japan didn't surrender was merely the final and last straw, in an entire bale of straws, that broke the will of the Japanese. I had forgotten about the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan in the final days of the war, so thanks for including that. Your comment was appreciated.

How many times are you gonna contradict yourself in a single story? Conceptually its a good story idea, but the writing execution is some of the poorest work I've ever had to listen to.
