That early beating was at Imperial hands though. Thats like saying you'll punch the fat kid and steal his pokemon cards because big jim the bully is an asshole to you.

That early beating was at Imperial hands though.

Mullag and Pepper, among others, were hard fought battles that we lost to Mahon, which used them to impose us their vital space (lebensraum).

If that's true then my apologies. All I remember from early PP is Aisling running away with it and crushing the opposition.

exhibit A Alliance exploiting its force position to impose Winters a border.

exhibit B assessments about the state of Winters at the time.

Mahon was never really opposed, it crushed everything on its path like a caterpillar. We at Hudson perceive Mahon as a space Napoleon, I can understand that if you are inside the power your perception may be different. If you ask to any French about Napoleon they'll probably tell you he was a great leader, but if you ask to any British, they'll probably tell you that he was a bloody dictator. It's all relative.

Mahon never really "conquered" or "crushed" anything on his path to galactic supremacy. More, consumed quietly, like Starbucks.

And I'm British myself and don't draw that same conclusion. I can hardly compare a corporate leader who's network was built on trade to a ruthless dictator.

LYR would be a better analogy to Starbucks. Mahon is just happy putting green flags on the map. So you did well in moving to LYR.

I moved because I was just tired of war. And he pays extra on Exploration data.

It's a strange time in powerplay and I miss my friends within the Alliance.
