Probably the only ones with legitimate cause... :dead
Who don't give a damn about legitmate causes, freedom, equality or democracy but money. See Union. :D
Because the *new* government these aliens, mercenaries, thrill seekers and lovers of freedom, equality and democracy bring about will definitely support one's freedom to smuggle. :yuck
Yes..yes... it's all a game until their homeworld get's blown up and then it dawns on them, "Damn, this shit is for real!" o_O
..and because there are so many examples of how well it's worked so far.. See: Old Republic...wait... See: New Republic...wait... See: Galactic Coalition... :ohwell
She was also 18. And a virgin. <--- I just threw that last one in there for no reason. :O
What? Who better than those who make hating the Empire a religious euphoric experience? :b
Which is run, ironically, by their human elite. Or should I say, by their rich human elite. :glance
Han Solo? Lando? I think people actually like it when the shady guys decide to fight for the good guys, paid or not... it always works out in the end because we exist in a magical fairy land named Star Wars where the shady guys are all eventually converted to the good cause! The really bad mercenaries all go work for TNO, everyone knows that.
Rich human elite? Only in the Empire, Simon Kaine. You breed them, it's like bunnies!
I'm sorry you underestimate the human capacity for true compassion and spirit among your population of propoganda fed sheep. I will show your citizens the freedom and prosperity that the Old Republic and the New Republic enjoyed, and I will show them how your Empires of the times viciously ended both. They will see how your armies stomp out those who would stand for freedom, and rumbles of discontent will spread even among the humans. Let's face it, humans can't help it they always want more. So do teddy bears with pointy sticks. Who knew?
You elitist imperial snot, the very system you admire and emulate blew up my homeworld! Jerk. I'm going to spread scary bedtime stories among your population telling about how you put monsters in children's closets so the tooth fairy won't come. They'll all learn to fear and hate you. Bwaahahahahaha!
People might be compassionate, but they're also stupid. Case in point: the American people. They elected an idiot, twice. Imagine what they would do with a propaganda kind like Simon Kaine in charge. ;)
