"Humanity yearns and strives for greater heights: to acquire status and power, to grow and expand. And when the desires of two groups of people conflict, they turn to war. Because war is a strategy that works, that ensures the dominance of you and your genes over others."

"The Great Founder realized this, and formed the Clans and our warrior code to clarify the wars we fight, to prevent collateral damage, to keep civillians from suffering from the consequences of war. To ensure that only that which is necessary to be destroyed is destroyed."
