Horza knew the Idirans would never subdue all the less-developed civilizations in the galaxy; their dreamed-of day of judgment would never come. But the very certainty of that ultimate defeat made the Idirans safe, made them normal, made them part of the general life of the galaxy; just one more species, which would grow and expand and then, finding the plateau phase all non-suicidal species eventually arrived at, settle down.
