I think the conclusion here is pretty clear. Seriously, if we ever ally with the Cabal, I will be dancing in the street. If, for some unfathomable reason, you pick the Eliksni, please explain your choice. Edit 1: Well, I guess most people prefer Eliksni, for a variety of reasons, but primarily because of the shared interests. I would like to point out, however, that Eliksni, instead of sending envoys and asking to share the Traveller, massacred millions, if not billions of innocent men, women and children in an attempt to take it by force.
