I hear my enemies speculate about my ambitions...my motives..."Who is Admiral Bosch, and what is that old Scoundrel upto now?"-Bosch
In the Gamma Draconis system, the destroyers have arrived, and soon, the alliance shall learn the Method, behind my madness.-Bosch
We vanquished the shivans in the great war, but the hard question remained; how would we handle the threat of future invasion. The Shivan could return at any time, any place without warning; how would we handle the threat against our very species?-Narrater, colossus cutscene.
Of children, who saw in the embers of dying stars....the destiny of their race....-Narrater, Fs2 intro cutscene.

They hunted, they followed us. They followed us when we retreating, discovered where we lived. For a long time we never knew why they chased us - it was not for our territory, our technology, our resources....now we know, our pride was sin.-Narrater, Ancient Cutscene 2.
Ours was a proud people...and always the strongest.-Narrater, Ancient Cutscene 1.

The pilot made this decision even after being advised of the impending catastrophe. Because of this sacrifice and the sacrifice of thousands of others we halted the Shivan advance. We sealed off Capella and our people are safe, maybe forever. No one can fathom how or why the Shivans destroyed the Capella star. We lost a place many of us called home. We lost entire squadrons, the Colossus and most of our fleet. We lost so many friends that we celebrate our victory with grief and mourning.-Admiral Petrach, GTD Aquitaine, Endpart2 cutscene, Freespace 2.
