Pilots Quote by Kenneth S. Murray
““Although they weren't a superior force; Captain Hudson and his group had two distinct advantages. First they represented the Realm of the Galaxies; an authority that had not been challenged in 100 years. And second, the LMC squadrons were trying to escape. Their pilots did not want to engage in a fire fight.””
