I'm not trans, but could you bring me the knee socks? I feel like my code quality has been declining lately and I could use the bonus.

It seems like "leadership" combines a bunch of different skills like being a good spokesperson, or a good organizer, or a good strategist that don't necessarily have to reside in the same person. You do need all those skills gathered somewhere like an executive committee, though.

Casus belli, in a "just war theory" context needs to be considered in terms of sugma, however.

I mean, I know a PA who's an anarcho-drunk unionist.

The real story is that she's actually a clone of Zeena Schreck (nee LaVey), former High Priestess of the Church of Satan.

Also, people don't realize how big the ships of the Federation and their peer civilizations are. The baseline Star Destroyer is 1 km long. A Romulan D'deridex class warbird is 1.3 km long. A Borg cube is 3 km on a side. Yes, the Empire makes much bigger ships than that, culminating in the Death Star, but they always seem to be... more of the same?

Unless the Star Wars galaxy is very small, hyperspace is much faster than normal warp, maybe faster than proto-warp or turn-you-into-salamanders transwarp, maybe comparable to Borg transwarp conduits. But as far as I know, Star Wars ships can't maneuver or fight in hyperspace, and don't have FTL sensors. Which would mean no defense against the Picard Maneuver - except Force precognition. Hope they have Sith tactical officers on every Star Destroyer.
