War is a machine. A relentless, brutal, savage automaton. It devours all it touches, fuelling its infernal engines, gassing it to drive further and raze the universe. It collapses galaxies, destroys planets, obliterates fleets, and eats men. War, it is the lifeblood, the dark rich matter on which the universe thrives. There is war and only war. Peace can be shattered at any moment, lives turned upside down, minds torn apart, wrenched free from reality and sanity. War is the true monster, lurking in the shadows, always constant, ever present.
