[ yeah, oh but fortunately for Alina was Drift knew the difference between curiosity and ignorance. He was just glad she had asked him and not Megatron, the old firebrand. Poor girl didn't need a manifesto texted to her. ]
We had a rigid caste system as far back as I could remember. Inflexible, entirely dependent on what you could do. Border wars are where it started after the ruling senate had been destroyed and its leaders assassinated en masse—I had a part in that. They were cruel, and it's one of the few things I don't regret in the war. Then it expanded beyond territorial disputes between the factions that arose from the anarchy and neither side comes out the winner. It ended, but the victory was pyrrhic. I think once the dust settled 90% of our race was gone. That is the most abbreviated and sterile summation of a war that lasts millions of years.
