“Many fought for us to get here. Many died. We have lost people we loved, and have suffered. We would be justified to seek vengeance. But instead, we will choose peace –we must choose peace. For we have arrived at the dawn of a new era, and are witness to an event unlike anything else in the history of our species. But peace is a fragile thing. So I’m asking you to join me and join hands with our brothers and sisters throughout the system  – Earth, Mars, and the Belt  – and dedicate ourselves to being one people with a shared purpose. And as we have always done in the past, we will face the unknown together.”

Collective punishment
is a form of retaliation whereby a suspected perpetrator’s family members, friends, acquaintances, sect, neighbors or entire ethnic group is targeted. The punished group may often have no direct association with the other individuals or groups, or direct control over their actions.
