"[regarding the Federation's political acumen] They have successfully knitted together countless worlds of diverse races, plundered their resources, assimilated their technologies, and absorbed their wealth. This is their strength, but it is also their greatest weakness. Their size is difficult to defend, their resources are scattered by time and space, their political system is unwieldy. These races were brought into the Federation not naturally through conquest, but through... diplomacy. This last is the key, for it renders the Federation a brittle unity, unity we will shatter in the days to come. It is war's prize to take all advantages."
