As i said, I'm technologically miles ahead of this empire, and i do have ties with The Empire, which is miles beyond me. There's more than enough capabilities in and of themselves. And no, you've really proved nothing to me as to your strength in a war. With two task forces i managed to destroy most of BlackWind. A one on one is nothing in the face of a world war, one which involves WMD-capable forces. Magic and ability only go so far.
