Ves froze and thought for a moment.
Why would the Polymath, one of the smartest and most powerful mech designers of human civilization, state that the CFA was an immediate threat?
Ever since the invasion of the Red Ocean Dwarf Galaxy commenced, Ves thought that the MTA was at its height.
After all, with half of the Milky Way still in the hands of old enemies, why would the mechers support the opening of a completely different front?
The major alien races of the Red Ocean could not possibly pose a threat to human civilization. While their phasewater-derived technology granted them unique technological possibilities, their population base and resource base were wholly inadequate.
Advanced technology or not, Ves did not think the native races of the Red Ocean could halt the onslaught of humanity.
As the principal actors of this invasion, the Mech Trade Association and the Common Fleet Alliance both stood to gain huge benefits.
