(Major Spoilers) Why won't the sentients forgive our past conflict?

[Beep]

In the Ropalolyst fight, Natah has this line where she says something along the lines of "past fights cannot be forgiven" and it got me thinking... Why? They attacked the Origin system because they were worried about what the Orokin would do to the Tau system. Neither the tenno nor any of the other factions have the means to access the tau system, let alone the motivation to seek out the sentients. It's not like we are a threat to them. Why wouldn't they just keep their hard-earned system and live in peace? Why waste their lives on such a conflict?

Come to think of it, why do they even want to come to the Origin system? Do they plan to take it over and expand? That would make themselves barren, so I don't understand why they would even bother. I'm sure they have either figured out some way around it or have a plan to restore themselves but the whole escapade seems like a lot of energy and effort for very little gain. The sentients don't even have a guarentee of winning. Sure, the Lotus is gone and we are disorganized but the tenno proved a highly effective weapon against the sentients, so at the very least they will suffer casualties.

I guess I just don't understand the Sentient's motivation. Can someone explain to me why this is happening?

The average internet "debate" is all about "winning" petty victories and refusal to ever admit error. The more people get pushed the more they push back and nothing gets resolved. Everyone just storms off angry and comes back the next day to do it all over again.

Maybe I should save these threads for friends then

引用自 MekaDovah：

The Sentients lost a literal war with the Tenno and if humans IRL can't forgive each other over a petty internet debate about a video game mechanic or something dumb like that, you can bet losing a war is going to make the losing side even more insane with irrational hatred and delusion.

No, it doesn't make sense, but irrational hatred never does and people do it all the time anyway. The Sentients are no different.

This is my favorite answer.

As I understood it, the Sentients basically consider everything still alive in this solar system to still be part of the Orokin. Remember how Hunhow repeatedly referred to Alad V as "Orokin"? I always just assumed the Sentients viewed the job as half-finished, and that they deemed all the surviving humanoids in the Origin system to be just as great of a threat as the old Orokin empire was.

I suppose that could be the case, but Natah in the Ropalolyst fight seems a little more aware than that. Also I think Alad V actually is a surviving orokin, but I think the only evidence to that was that Hunhow called him orokin so idk if that's really enough evidence to go off of

AFAIK the only actual Orokin survivors are the Queens and Ballas; some Corpus bigshots like Salad Vee just claim *descent* from them (legitimately or not), which isn't really that surprising given as a culture they're probably the closest to a surviving splinter of the old Empire.

Earth history is rife with elites trying to add to their prestige and legitimacy with varyingly credible claims to illustrious ancestors from long-dead regimes after all. No particular reason to expect that tendency to have changed much umpteen years in the future IN SPAAAACE.
