Given the name of this terran empire (which reminds of me of the Holy Roman Empire of medieval euripe) and how certain words were written I guess this was written by a german speaking author.
Sounded like a foreign wehraboo. All of the military historical anecdotes you'll find on reddit and so on but no sight of any significantly deep knowledge.
Do NOT roll back on the German! Your story is fine as it is, and reminding the arbitrary lurkers out there that there are OTHER cultures is important. Besides, English is a Germanic language as well. All languages are living in that they evolve and adopt other words into their sphere, which is why English has so many 'foreign' words in everyday use. If you don't believe me, Google 'is english a germanic language' and listen to what the University of Nottingham thinks about that.
Hey write hoe you want, I'll admit it was in my opinion a little heavy on the german domination eith the kaiser and the Wolfpack but that's my opinion, my analysis tells me it'd a well crafted story, a masterfully crafted beginning, a perfectly executed ending, and a fantastic story in between.
@@robert-trading-as-Bob69 I very much know, but I just might leave out some of the actual german words, sometimes it does sounds like his throat doesn’t appreciate them much 😅
@OnlineMaster03 I grew up with English as my home language and Afrikaans as my second language, so I forget that not everyone can get those gutteral sounds right... Especially the Germanic habit of gluing as many words as possible together. English: 'By means of' Afrikaans: 'Deurmiddlevan' That's just a mild example, though, and short compared to the Germans' glue-words. That's what I call them.. glue words.
Admiral Karl Dönitz wanted more U-boats before the war kicked off, but Hitler was too impatient. The Battle of the Atlantic began on 3 September 1939 and finished in 1945 with the surrender of Germany. It was the longest Battle of the war, and came close to defeating Great Britain. The objective was to keep the UK from getting the vital supplies it needed, thus stunting the growth and the reach of the British and their allies based there. I've been reading military history since the 1980s and noticed the trend to focus on the shooting war. Bang bang sells books. Supply ships manned by merchant seaman doesn't interest the majority, yet it is logistics that wins wars. Without iron ore there are no more new ships and aircraft. Without the various fuels, there is no RAF to win the Battle of Britain or Royal Navy to counter Operation Sealion. No tanks or trucks either... Then there is the most important import of all: Food. Food rationing continued in the UK and Commonwealth countries for at least two years after the war was over. The right-wing National Party that gave us Apartheid was elected by the South African white majority in 1948 because they promised to bring back white bread. Without the blood, sweat and tears of the humble Merchant Navies of the world, German would be far more popular than it is today.
In the field of war I'd have to agree as the Australians are very resourceful and the Americans in a conventional war are either fast and hard (Modern) or they simply use their economy and logistics to win (WW2 and Union; Civil War). The occupation however could be different. At best, on the American side is that the former enemy will become ally and you'll get to a golden age which can solve a few of their population issues. At worst, they're seen as more trouble then they're worth, hastily abandoned, and left to rot for decades to come. And all they really lose is their pride and a world they didn't have to begin with. But at least, they're no longer an existential threat.
Submarines , in SPAAAAACE! Dead gods blood, this beaks the absurdity and edges into madness! IDk anymore, maybe we all need to go mad for a trime, just so we can recover our sanity.

The desperate insectoids, that wanted to invade foreign space, after diplomacy, offerings and begging didnt help. They grew to much in numbers and needed more Planets.
@@smaragdwolf1 I would say that's understandable if it was not for a simple fact...No one else was offering any other method to help them...starvation would kick in and it would only lead to extinction...from what limited knowledge we have in this video they didn't see any other method to slow down there problem then to expand...I guess killing off portions of there population would work for a stopgap but could any sane ruler do that to there species?...Everyone left them to deal with it on there own and when they couldn't fix it themselves they threw themselves onto the human defenses in a mad suicidal charge...The Falaxians were not blameless in this situation but neither was anyone else... "They could have stormed and taken the Falaxian homeplanet within a month if they wanted to and have set just as good of an example. They just didn't" Sorry for the long winded reply.
@@Molzzok i like long winded replies ;) it tells me someone took his time to think things through^^ Well... the Insectoids never ask the other Species "can you help us with this serious matter?". They directly ask "would you give us your territory, so we can expand?" I mean... its nice that they politely ask the other Powers, but it would only postpone the base-problem. The moment the new System is "full", they would ask again... and again... and again. Their high reproduction rate is the base-problem. For humanity, the best way to prevent more people was, is to increase general health, wealth and knowledge. Every Country on earth, that reached a certain threshold of social "satisfaction" (dont know a better word for that), shows a dropped reproduction rate. Some countries even dropped too low, having less children born than elderly dying. But for an Insectoid Species, that eventually has a Hive mentality, this probably dont work. They either expand until there is no more space to expand, starve because food supplies cant keep up or a natural Predator keep their numbers stable. On Earth, many animals feast on insects. Spiders are the main animal that keeps them in check. Otherwise the earth would be covered in a constant Layer of insects. Question would be... what is the lifespan of that Insectoid Species? Normally, if a species doesnt live long, they live in a dangerous environment or the survival rate of offspring is low, they would give birth to many babies to beat the odds with sheer numbers. I bet the Alien Insectoids did evolve on a planet that required them to have alot of offspring. But once they became the dominant lifeform, that requirement turned into a curse. They could have ask the other Species for a joint science project with the goal of altering their genes, so they dont have so many kids. Would be the most peaceful way in my Eyes. Beside that... a fake War to reduce the numbers of inhabitants (basically asking another species to play the villain and slaughter a few billions) would theoretically work too. The most cruel way would be to cut of food supply to areas and let the inhabitants starve or killing each other in desperation. The Species`s Leaders are at fault here. They knew that their numbers grew to fast but hesitated to adress the issue. Would they have adressed it years earlier, they could have implemented a socially acceptable system to only raise ... i dont know... only 10% of the Eggs. Would have slowed down the Growth alot.
Always fully how military leaders seem to have plenty of minutes to record "their last dying words" epitaphs of several minutes when facing down an enemy force, but don't use the time they waste there to just run..... Not to be sour, this gives us wonderful stories. But it's just logically unsound.
