This issue goes to the very heart of the Faith of Kor. It is clear to us that much of the tension arises from the fact that our civilization is focussed on what you refer to as the bending of the fabric of space. The creation of what the infidels call Warp Lines is more akin to a form of piety for us. To bring together the universe in such a manner is one of the highest forms of Worship we engage in, and it is the purview of the Priest Caste to continue it's pursuit of the Most Perfect Land. To do so involves a constant melding of space to the wishes of Kor, as communicated to the priests through their meditations.

It is clear, though, that the Corelians are threatened by this technology. We do not understand this. But, more to the point, we are unable and certainly unwilling to forego such actions because to do so would be an insult to the Eternal that is Kor. All of this is detailed in the Book of Kor, the Kor-An. (The Exiles Ambassador hands out gilt-edged copies of the Kor-An around the room).

Now, as we all know, the Sonne people find the manipulation of space to be disturbing to them. But, that is their choice, and we do not presume to carry out any such manipulation in their areas of influence. To do so would be risking the wrath of Kor in any case, for the Sonne, though a calming influence, are not of Kor.
