[exhuxperation]

( When connected to each other so strongly, leaving the weak behind becomes a last resort. The Empire did not have what amounts to a large group of Force users all mentally chained to each other.

They can mean success. A united force– there's nothing quite like it. My own ambition aside, being a part of something that could make a difference; that is the most potent thing. )

( I wouldn't be so quick to say what the Empire did and didn't have. )

( You wish to make the station your ideal Empire, now? The Empire ruled by fear, not inspiration. )

[exhuxperation]

[ Hmm, had there been a giant group of Force users in the Empire? ]

( If I were to be entirely selfish, yes. Currently, I'd rather we could just focus on the mission and move on without more haranguing.

Fear is a great motivator, but it's not ideal for the long term. Give someone something to look forward to and they're more likely to fight for it. )

( Did the destruction of Hosnian further that goal? )

[exhuxperation]

( It was supposed to be. At the time it happened, I believe it did what it was set to do. The weapon and planet it was carved into met its destruction though, at the hands of the Resistance, shortly after.

Or it was expected to implode; I was still planetside finding Ren when I was brought here. )

( No matter the stated reason, motives or ideals, destroying any planet will only sow fear. In war, that's all it can do. )
