Red humanity was like a small pie that had already been divided between many different powers.
The most ideal situation was that red humanity was able to launch a successful counterattack against the native aliens and continue to gain lots of resources and territory.
Since no human groups previously owned all of the conquered territories, it was not as painful to 'donate' them to the Red Collective.
Even though this was hardly a perfect solution as it would take a lot of time and money to properly build up and develop all of the colonies, the Red Collective should eventually be able to grow stronger than any individual state.
Unfortunately for Ves and everyone else, red humanity was not gaining territory. It was losing it as the Red Tide Offensive continued to pound the frontlines!
