That seems reasonable, right? I mean, it would be very clear that they believe in serving -- or helping -- Mankind. What else could the title of
the book mean?
Haha, good one!
In response to the OP, I think I would choose the ship which doesn't need to 'sway people's decisions' to join them. They are simply there, with
their doors open, to those who would go with them. I also assume that this ship would have quite a short line, as more people would be swayed by
awesome shows of power, or benevolence, and not the fact that this ship in question would be showing enough by simply being there, and not joining in
the 'dirty' 'politics' of the other races.
Some may say my logic is flawed on that, but that's OK. You can go with another hypothetical ship.
Just my $0.02

add: Thanks for the thread, Incarnated. I always enjoy a good read, and thought provoking conversation. Flagged and Starred. I'd like to see some
more people's responses.
