that was the part that got me.
"Hey, we have these giant guns that can take down huge ships, but a little 'pew pew', naw, we can't do that. Blades only!"
To me that's a fascinating part of the universe that makes it unique. One technological development trumps another.
I do wonder, why was AI banned in this universe? Why are there no computers? I don't know the backstory on that one, so if anyone can explain it, tag it in spoilers.
