I am honestly hoping that a future Empire would not need weapons and the people will eventually learn that nothing good comes from war. Why is everything having to revolve around managing people with fear and force? :(

Let's hope that a new colony will have smarter people that know how to socialize and how to be good leaders. They will keep the colonists happy and nobody will want to revolt. I don't know if it's possible but I honestly think that having interstellar war fleets is a really really really dumb way to spend our money.

Just my 2 cents!
