"What is the most unique human trait? It is, without a doubt, the concept of empathy.

Sure, sympathy is a universal trait, found in all sentient species. When one shares a common background, one cannot help but be bonded to another's struggles.

Humans, however are different. Without feeling the conflict, letting the blood spilled by others sway their mind, they still act apon the concept of good, regardless.

Where would our galaxy be without them? Certainly the trillions of soldiers and droids alike wounded in the battlefield fighting and taking a stand for the causes they believed in, would not have gotten off their debilitating conditions with just a scar and a story.

Certainly, the disasters that have plagued the Galactic Core trade hubs, caused by the violent outbursts of gamma rays exfoliated by the supermassive black hole would cease to be reported on, as there would be nobody there alive to report on these tragedies.

Certainly, when species came crawling to them for their aid, a species that has never suffered or experienced pain since after they began their great colonization efforts of their local area, would not be alive, and any species sharing the same self replicating chemicals would all be gone as their homeworlds would be destroyed, floating in the void which once housed great magnificent works of art and science.

And finally, certainly most of those in this room, if not all, would not be alive.

Which is why, in their greatest time of need, in their greatest time of suffering, as their planets wither away into husks, we must repay our debts."
