The Cost of Freedom

We are a people of many worlds, and over time we have learned the value of diversity. However, negotiating the dynamics of several different cultures - not to mention the physical needs of completely distinct species - has not been easy. Our differences run deep, and while we have managed to navigate the shifting political landscape up to now, the divisions inherent in our society have grown impossible to ignore. Many are now calling for a special committee to be formed to moderate the calls for reform.
