Ves always had the suspicion that there was more behind the Red Ocean than what the Big Two and everyone else revealed on the surface.
The dwarf galaxy was virgin territory that offered great riches to any human organization. The first thought that anyone would develop when faced with this bountiful region was how difficult it would be to lay claim to everything!
If Ves asked himself whether the Big Two was capable of swallowing the entire Red Ocean with its huge number of star systems, there was no way the MTA and CFA were that incapable.
Then why did they pass off increasing their immediate interests in favor of letting the 'lesser' humans obtain the bulk of the pie?
