The Early War
The Insect Civilization's first forays into the Brunnen-G war are sketchy at best, but it seems as though through this war, they gained an instinctive hate for humans in general and the Brunnen-G in particular. The war lasted for many years, and the Insects' renowned cunning was not enough. Although it is never clear exactly how the Brunnen-G actually defeated the Insects, when faced with the task of destroying Mantrid, Kai remarked that the Brunnen-G were able to defeat the insects because they were methodical, and therefore predictable.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or war:
“He had long before indulged most unfavourable sentiments of our fellow-subjects in America. For, as early as 1769,... he had said of them, “Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for any thing we allow them short of hanging.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.... A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice—is often the means of their regeneration.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
