Their great war: shallowness
Author's note: Spoilers for the second series
They believe that this war, intergalactic in scope, will change everything. It does, in that a doctor's son and a farmer's son suit up together before landing on a strategically important planet they for a brutal, long campaign and a mixed-species socialite treats wounded soldiers on a mediship in another quadrant entirely alongside the young man who used to serve her food. Most of them do not know their history well enough to realise that when they describe this as the war to end all wars, they are echoing their forbearers on a planet that has long since been destroyed.
