Summary: The story explores the Terrans' unique stance on peace in the galaxy. Despite their personal tendencies towards aggression, as a civilization, they are deeply committed to pacifism, especially in interstellar relations, lacking any form of spaceborne military and using their wealth to prevent conflicts. Their ancient and technologically advanced society chooses subtle interventions over direct confrontations, maintaining a strategy that hints at a fear not of war, but of its consequences, encapsulated in the doctrine of "mutual assured destruction." This approach dissuades potential aggressors, emphasizing the Terrans' capability for catastrophic retaliation, as illustrated in a negotiation with the Tara, where they reveal their ability to collapse stars as a deterrent, thereby ensuring peace through the threat of mutual annihilation. —----------------- NOTICE - This video Utilizes AI generated images and voice over to tell a complex story; however, the story is still an original work created by myself. —----------------- From The Author: I am an avid science fiction reader, and I have come across many concepts and themes from others that I have incorporated into my own stories. So if my work is similar to someone else’s, it does NOT mean I copied them, just that I took inspiration from them and created my own original work. If you have any scifi short story ideas, please feel free to shoot me an email of that idea and I'll see if I can incorporate it into one of my stories!
