"Well, that was originally the case. Hell, Tevos left the Council so she could unite the Republics under one army. Had a short war with the Terminus Systems to gain back Illium from Aria T'Loak and her goons, and brought almost all the Republics together. Peaceful. For some reason, one day, we looked away from the Republics and next thing you know, their militaries try to jump to Palaven, armed to the teeth, burning colonies everywhere. Few Asari Republics jumped off at first...then she assassinated all those who opposed her in the Republics. I don't know." Cryark replied, the tone replaced with a bit of sadness.
