End of the Line

Foe Hammer

Through countless centuries, the Space fleet of the Space Empire of Foe Hammer has been faithfully reinforced by vessels that could make the Earth blush. It was a foolish decision to undertake a project as expensive, and timely, and reckless as the vessels it brought forth upon the galaxy. It has taken its toll on the reputation of the Space Empire. We are not barbarians, we are not war machines, and yet, the weapons with which we do battle tell a different tale.

We cannot, and will not maintain such colossal vessels. We cannot, and will not judge ourselves by the size of the ships we command. We cannot, and will not pamper our forces with fresh weapons of war, and continue to ignore the needs of our citizens.

We find no need for such vessels as our Capital ships. No need but recycled metals and equipment. And, with that, we say thank you, and farewell to the 120-some Liberty- and Chaos-class vessels, who have so faithfully aided in the defense of the colonies. The materials so recklessly wasted on the construction and upkeep of these behemoths should not be used to kill, but to nourish the growth of society. It must be done, and so it shall.
