So I was this thinking earlier today about the UCM as a society, and the following idea came together...
The UCM as a culture, a civilization are entirely based around a single philosophy, a single goal - the Reconquest... to amplify on that a little: the reclamation of the lost Cradle Worlds and Earth, combined with the destruction of the Scourge. Nothing less is acceptable.
This is a philosophy of total war - the UCM has spent its entire existence working towards this one goal, and has built their entire society around it - their economy, this history, their cultural identity...
So my question is this - could the UCM as a society survive victory? If they actually manage to achieve the Reconquest... would their society fall apart as the unifying drive that bought them to this point suddenly disappeared?
Would victory actually doom the UCM?
