Why wage war with countless other worlds to create a new planet out of bits a pieces of other populated worlds when you could spend all that time cleaning Orxon of its pollution or save money by invading one world and populate that instead? Why dump hundreds of gallons of toxic waste on a tropical vacation planet instead of the significantly less hard to find uninhabited planet? Why drop a Planet Destroyer on an inhabited planet to take their orbiting space when you could just share an orbit with them?
