	Warp drive is a rare example of a technology that takes vast amounts of resources and time to develop, but then immediately offers total compensation for the effort. [[Vulcan]]s have once calculated that a culture will either initiate a massive exploration and colonization program within 50 years of the invention, thus beginning the inevitable arc of galactic conquest, later complacency, and final fall to complete oblivion; or then it will hesitate with using the warp drive, and stagnate completely until awakened by warp-borne visitors. In the rare case it meets an aggressive neighbor in near-equal terms, it may also become a single-planet military power bent on isolationism and highly proficient in achieving that goal.

	The types covered in the next chapter are in many ways exceptional for an ascending interstellar power. Races beginning their star travel amidst other FTL cultures are often forced to accept an excessively military posture to survive in the competitive environment, and this normally limits the experimentation done on high speed and long range propulsion, as well as curtailing exploration programs. The basic design of the following Earth vessels in turn places great importance on these very aspects, while featuring very limited offensive and defensive armament. The ubiquitous ‘boomer ship’ of the [[2090s]]-[[2140s]] is a remarkable exception from galactic norm, a design sacrificing everything else for the superior ability to engage in interstellar trade. The conscious choice of UESF to dedicate major resources to aiding in the creation of this nonmilitary fleet is an equally unique sacrifice in galactic history, at least among those cultures that have survived beyond their first century in space.
