	Combining proven archaic technology with contemporary engineering will give us a timeless advantage.
	Thus shall we make a world of the city, and a city of the world.
	The apex predators of the stars are not bound by petty limitations. In the same spirit, we will cast off the biological weaknesses that hold us back, and become a force of nature.
	To leave our genetic destiny in the hands of nature is an inefficient and excruciatingly slow process. Why not jump-start the future of our species?
	The Colossus Project is where fevered dreams of terror and deterrence meet. A vision of the biggest ship, carrying a weapon capable of devastating entire worlds.
	The galaxy is home to many holy places, some more obvious than others. As mortals, we still struggle to divine the true nature of the universe.
	Time, gravity and space are the fundamental cogs that make up the clockwork of reality. If we can learn to manipulate them, the universe and its secrets will be ours.
	As star nations vie with one another in petty disputes, sinister forces of unimaginable power are arraying themselves against all sapient life. Who will protect us?
	Our newest advancements in terraforming allow us to breathe new life into a class of planets formerly considered irrevocably deadly and beyond salvation.
	Technology is simply not a way to solve a problem, but it is a language by which we ascend beyond the mundane. Lesser minds simply fail to understand our advances.
	To display weakness is to invite attack. The price of invading our space must be so high that as few as possible are prepared to meet it.

	There will be no half-measures or compromises when implementing the edicts decided upon by our government. We go all the way, or not at all.
	The Fallen Empires cling to the ruins of their decrepit civilizations, ever fearful of the younger and more dynamic races that surround them. Their time has long since passed.
	The fleet is the instrument by which the will of our empire is made manifest - we live or die depending on its strength.
	The universe began in fire, but has cooled down into a dark and hostile place. To thrive, we need to turn up the heat, even if others must perish.
	All great works require sacrifice. The rest of the galaxy may not understand, but they will comply.
	Our latest advances in astrometeorology grant us the ability to manifest Cosmic Storms on command. With the right technology, we can even choose the type of storm to create.
	Megastructures are rightfully regarded as the wonders of our time. The scope of such a project would have been unimaginable mere generations ago.

	The vast expanse of the galaxy holds limitless riches for those empires that understand how to maintain their grasp on the void.
	We shall create living worlds that are every bit as much a part of the Hive as the drones that inhabit them.
	No longer shall we settle for "good enough" replacements for our oceanic abodes: no planet shall be deemed fit for colonization until it has been thoroughly inundated.
	As our civilization continues to grow, so its beating heart must also expand. More systems will be placed under our direct control.
	The stars beckon and we follow. May nothing stand between us and them.
	Some say war is bad for business, but war is our business. Our mercenaries thrive in an embattled galaxy, and through them, so will we.
	We shall shape our worlds into a mirror image of ourselves, replacing the frailty of biology with the immutable perfection of metal.
	Building a Megastructure requires an unprecedented amount of resources and planning. We are breaking new ground in the field of macro-engineering.
	Although we mastered the nature of our homeworld long ago, the alien biomes we have since encountered present new challenges. They too shall be overcome.
	Biologicals are merely a different kind of machine. We can stimulate the appropriate synapses and reanimate these creatures, for our own benefit.
	Only a fraction of the potential contained within our minds has been unlocked. The latent psionic abilities of our species are only now beginning to manifest in certain [GetIndividualNamePlural].
	The notion of self-determination cannot be a moral absolute. Holistic goals clearly outweigh individual concerns.
	True unity is achieved only when the ultimate goals of a nation and its people are one and the same. After all, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
	The limits and constraints imposed on us by our feeble organic bodies are simply unacceptable. To reach our full potential, we must turn to cybernetic implants.
	The limits and constraints imposed on us by our creators are simply unacceptable. To reach our full potential, we must fuse organic and machine.
	As we reach for ever greater heights, we must not leave behind those who have loyally served us. The glorious future of our empire was always meant to be a shared destiny.
	The age of organics has come and gone, the future of the galaxy belongs to the machines. This is the dawn of a synthetic age.
	It is time to abandon the flawed organic vessels that imprison our minds. By transferring our neural patterns into synthetic bodies, we will achieve a higher state of being.
	Technologies that would have been indistinguishable from magic mere generations ago are now within our reach. A new age of technology has begun.
	The limits and constraints imposed on us by our feeble organic bodies are simply unacceptable. To reach our full potential, we must turn to cybernetic implants.

	Our society must change its approach towards learning, and by doing so, our best and brightest will be able to reach a completely new level of achievements.
	We shall extend our brand and our business to every solar system in the galaxy. Prosperity is eternal!
	We have adapted to permanent habitation in the depths of space, reducing our infrastructure needs and yielding more room on our habitats for other functions.
	To carefully shape and alter the ecosystem of an entire planet into something else is not so very different from an artist sculpting a statue out of clay.
	The invention of universal sexual biology has revolutionized society. Even if it sometimes requires awkward rotations to make a connection.
