Seems slightly out of character that they recovered even a single survivor on what could be called a potential suicide mission. Given our species tendency toward kamikaze mentality in such situations, I would have expected the boarding ship and crew to have a contingency for self destruction in the face of even potential failure. Case in point, I would have expected the ship to be rigged to self destruct and take out at least part of the opposing ship while the crew were likely fitted with gratuitous amounts of high explosives in the event that they thought they would be captured. Thus the element of surprise would potentially always be maintained. Even with that one prisoner they've now discovered who, what, and what levels of weapons they're facing down even if they know it will be a brutal fight. They even know that humans are effectively acting alone with no allies due to that.
Notice the part where the humans were using *melee weapons*. This was up close, personal, and brutal. Surprise wasn't so much a factor as a spoil of victory. Getting in a good 'screw you' at loosing has its own brutal satisfaction.

One of humanity's most notable traits is our ability to hold a grudge. In this story, the "intelligent" races had well earned Humanity's undying hatred, generation after generation. And betrayal is the greatest crime, unforgivable. Humanity will never stop until vengeance is achieved and all of the races that betrayed them are destroyed to the last one. How ironic that it was that very collection of "intelligent" races that gave humanity all the incentive they needed to destroy them----a common enemy and a reason to hate. "Cry Havoc! and unleash the dogs of War!!"
Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

.....uuhhhhhh. Dinitrogen is very much a naturally forming molecule. Breaking the atoms apart to use in other compounds is (relative to similar diatomics like, say, hydrogen) tremendously difficult. Nitrogen is highly reactive, highly useful. Dinitrogen is about as inert as inert gets. The chemistry of this first page gives me a headache!
Mistake - DiNitrogen is in fact the preferred form for Nitrogen. It prefers this form greatly, and becomes annoyed when forced into any other molecule.
If they took some time to learn of Human history, they would learn we can hold grudges for a loooooooong time. Should have checked if everyone was dead. *Crusade it is!*
I think the worst part of the whole thing is humanity joined in the Nocktis conflict and gave everything they had, much to their own detriment according to the account of the dinitrogen/pure nitrogen exchange, yet the ISSPC decided humanity's too much of a liability to take seriously. A pitiful showing, if an unsurprising one.
The way they keep referring to 80 years as a long time makes me think that they have exceptionally shorter lifespans that many humans. Except for the leader who seemed to be a soldier and work their way up to space emperor.
It doesn't seem clinical enough. Hand to hand fighting just to make a point against an enemy who have no idea what hell is going on or who you are. It would be done with shock and awe. Coldly, clinically and brutally ruthless.
DiNitrogen, or N2, is nitrogen's standard state. If you have anything containing nitrogen and break the molecules apart then you get N2. Getting nitrogen to take any other form is harder, which is why despite how much nitrogen is in the atmosphere we are dependent on consuming nitrogen compounds created by other organisms, or often artificial processes now. We can't use the N2 we are constantly breathing. Some microbes can convert the atmospheric N2 into more useful forms, and all life on Earth was dependent on those microbes until pretty recently. Then a process was found by humans to do the same thing artificially, and now most likely about 60% of the nitrogen in your body was artificially converted. Basically it is another example of 'Aliens lack something the universe is absolutely full of', which is always rather annoying to me.
@@lumberluc That in general only works if the cost of mining/extracting/refining/making something is smaller in one place than in another. Which can be due to a lot of factors like labor availability, taxes, ease of access, etc. Something can never sustainably be sold for less than it took to get in the first place, meaning the customer pays for the mines and machines in the end one way or another. And trade imposes costs of its own. So the only case where a nation trades for something it already has easy access to a plentiful supply of is when the cost of extracting is somehow a lot cheaper for someone else. Otherwise the cost of trade makes it so that local extraction wins out. There is an edge case where the initial cost of setting up extraction can make it easier in the short term to trade, but that is an unstable situation vulnerable to anyone who can put together enough initial capital to exploit it. So such situations rarely last long on the scale of nations.

We evolved in a way that is extremely unique. Millions of species are on our planet and we are the ONLY one to evolve to run our prey to death. Stamina is human's defining and unique trait. We are designed from our very roots to be persistent, stubborn, determined. Only an absolute fool triggers desperation in a human. When a human gets desperate they also get stubborn and no longer care about self preservation. They will hound you for years, and if caught will go down swinging. The only thing that has ever kept humanity in check, was humanity. You unite humanity against you? Well, enjoy what time you have left as humanity will make sure to have pockets that will continue even as they throw 90% of the species after you. Even if you win, you will only make your children and your children's children endure the next attack which will come from the pockets humanity left to ensure the persistent vengeance will come for you. A united humanity can be the most wonderous of things, or the scariest of things. It is up to you on which side you get to see, and you chose... poorly.
The Nitrogen Economics do not make sense to me. N2 is the stable form of Nitrogen. Nitrogen that is not bonded to other Nitrogen sounds expensive...and since N2 is the more stable form singular Nitrogen would not remain so long. So for this to be possible there would need to be two things; chemistry of Nitrogen is different so different laws of physics in regards to Nitrogen at least. Earth has 80% Nitrogen which is a lot for us on Earth, but it is a tiny tiny amount of Nitrogen compared to any Gas Giant. The aliens if they desire Nitrogen that much, would have figured out how to seperate Nitrogen from Gas Giant atmosphere centuries before meeting any Human. So this story besides Nitrogen is okay, but the 'wealth of Humans' should be something besides Nitrogen. There are over 100 elements + sci fi can just invent new even heavier elements to be the stories wealth, and us readers Unobtanium.

Yes, that single error partly ruined it for me. Its the commonest form for nitrogen, for example Titan's atmosphere is over 90% "dinitrogen".
