For your information it is a long tradition that resorting to Nazi analogies in an argument on the internet is an admission that your position is untenable and indefensible. Game, set, and match to Pam.

But they need to occupy Sartar to have a road to Esrolia, and they need to occupy Esrolia to exploit its incredible riches, including its sea-ports. That piffle about lunar expansion being driven by missionary work is worth what you pay for it: Nothing. Who has more money to outfit military expansion? 7 Mothers types, or Merchant Houses? There's your answer. Watch the flow of money.
