The Sword Worlds Sinking Slowly

Otto Harkerman: I don't care how many planets you raid, or cities you sack. If that's what they are, you massacre in the old federation. What I object to is the way you're raiding the sword world. The best sword world genes are literally escaping to space,. like the atmosphere of a low gravity planet. Each generation begotten by farther slightly inferior to the last. It wasn't so bad when the space Vikings raided directly from the sword worlds. We got home once in a while. Now they're conquering planets in the old Federation for bases and staying there.
