[Thermodyne]

Cheese vs. Thermodyne

The Thermolian Empire was peacefully colonizing some empty systems when we met another race. According to the recognized laws that govern galactic states, we set up some visa checking stations, and began to look for new worlds in other directions. We even sent some unarmed ships to make first contact at one of their worlds on the frontier.

Sadly, our hand that was extended in peace has been slapped away. These life forms, which are little more than plants, have attacked our colonies and tried to force their way past our border check points. They have even gone so far as to attack unarmed first contact ships. We have therefore been compelled to start fortifying our frontiers in an effort to contain the uncontrolled expansion of these evil weeds. Everywhere we send colonists, they find the systems infested with these deadly weeds. So today we have drawn a line in the sand, not one more system will we surrender to this evil empire of plants. We will contest every world; we will equip our ships with spray rigs, and drive back the uncontrolled spread of this infestation. We will meet their seedlings with mega-liters of 2-4D. And then we will bomb their home worlds with Lawn Boys.

In short, we are sparring and have both had some successes.
