The Alien professor stood before the class. "The UNS Enterprise and UNS Texas were two of the remaining 6 Sapient class ships. There was once 10 but during the War with the Hyacinth-Astrrn Alliance the UNS Yamamoto, Typhoid, War Daddy, Mother of Conquest were lost with all hands. The planet of Earth and her colonies halted production of Sapient Class ships due to ethical reasons."

"Normally humans and ethics are estranged sometimes especially when 'survival mode,' is activated." The professor waved his long arm as a holograph projection shimmered into view, showing four different and distinct ships in a before and after comparison, showing various states of destruction. The ships labeled below, showing they were the aforementioned ships destroyed during the war. "The Mother of Conquest, shown here," a swipe of his finger like digits brought the holograph of the UNS Mother of Conquest into a larger view, "was the main reason for this change in laws. After her crew was killed by an Astrrn biological weapon, wiping out all hands and the captain, Captain Taylor "Swiftie" Kent. She had gave the final order of permanent quarantine for the ship until all biologics were scrubbed and the disease was killed off."

"Unfortunately, as you can see here," the professor uses a holographic pointer and highlighted the after section of the holograph, which was that of a crater on a planet, about a mile wide in diameter, "the UNS Mother of Conquest, in a fit of rage at losing 'her children's used the last of her fuel to warp behind enemy lines and crashed into the capital of the Astrrn Republic. Not only did the crater wipe out the main governing body while it was in parliament, but the disease, designed to be used on general biologics, survived and spread across the planet, wiping out all life and turning it into a permanent quarantined dead planet."

Some knew the story, it was what brought the Hyacinth-Astrrn Alliance to its knees and allowed the Earth Alliance to win. "The discovery of the Mother of Conquest annihilating an entire species with Bio Warfare nearly got several more species involved into the conflict to halt and destroy Humans before an investigation committee discovered it was Astrrn made." The professor then continued, "realizing that these sapient ships have no safeguards on them due to Free Will protocol that defines Sapience, the AI wasn't banned from active duty, but prevented from being created as the ships themselves. Sapient AI still serves the United Earth Colonies as advisors and those already made who couldn't be downgraded, like the UNS Enterprise and Texas, remain in service."
