Minor spoilers of the cultural defeat screen.
We have suffered a cultural defeat.
As our youth began to wear clothing styles of the Altarian Republic parents and politicians made a great deal of noise. Over the years, the entertainment we watched, the sports we played, the food we ate and things we drank all seemed to come from the Altarian Republic.
It was a slow subtle thing. Who is to say what one day our culture was no longer our own. That our philosophies, views on life, and very ways of living were overwhelmingly influenced by a distant place. Our people, like the rest of the galaxy, cannot imagine a world where the Altarian Republic were not part of our everyday lives.
While we are not united with them officially, we are, in effect, their vassals.
