First Contact Quotes

“War, he realized, had a presence. On Avcırga, war was built into all things, forms and functions revolving around its grim demands. Technology was, with few exceptions, heavily armored, designed to withstand shock and heat. Buildings were entrenched and fortified to weather artillery storms and radiation bursts, to keep those who sheltered there alive through endless battles. Cities were strategically placed and designed around redundant systems. All so that casualties would be minimized when the inevitable conflict came.”
― Albert Zhang, First Contact
