The Irha-Nrr are descending as far into raving paranoia as they are capable of. Our only neighbours are the Yvelom and the Dragons, the two biggest empires in the game, and the Rage Collective, an insane perVersion of everything we hold dear. I have no idea whether the Dragons or the Yvelom are the lesser of two evils, or both, or neither, and the Dragons are refusing to give me comm channels to the "outside world" so that I could have some way of finding out for myself.
The only thing that's stopping me from just blowing _everyone_ up right now and sorting out the mess afterward is the fact that I lack the military power to do it. At the moment all I can do is focus on the Rage and hope to figure things out in time to make wise decisions if and when the balloon goes up.
