Monica tightened her grasp on Khan's hand, but he ignored her to address his Uncle. "Announce it. We are officially at war with Brigadier General Meadrey. He can pick the planet."
Wars were chaotic, but the more advanced species had developed standard arrangements to handle them. Khan could bring a fleet to siege the guilty space station, but a victory wouldn't solve the issue. It would only extinguish many innocent lives and destroy part of the Global Army's equipment.
Khan had resorted to such methods in the past, but repeating them would only implicate the entire Global Army now. He would have to wage war against his whole species, bringing countless losses to both sides and unleashing consequences he preferred to avoid.
Instead, declaring war against the guilty Brigadier General and his loyal troops would address the culprit and limit the casualties to a single faction. The Global Army would have to stay away from the battle, too, treating it as simple infighting.
