Myrava: The Warrior's Way

An ancient warrioress of an unknown race who supposedly wandered the galaxy as a mercenary around 2000 BC, Myrava was said to be amongst the most powerful and skilled soldiers to have ever lived, influencing ways of war and the psyche of many warrior cultures to this day.
Whether she wrote it herself or not, her tactics, strategies and phisosophies were transcribed and put into a work that has survived the test of time, translated into common as 'The Warrior's Way'. This work has been referenced and utilised by many different empires and species throughout time, and today The Warrior's Way is required reading for most military academies throughout the galaxy. Even pirate and mercenary captains will often have a copy stashed away in a drawer or on a holopad.
Equally, Myrava also wrote poetry on the nature of warfare, which often precedes and concludes each chapter. While these poems have undoubtably lost some meaning in translation, their prose and meaning have nonetheless inspired many common catchphrases and sayings, and are often quoted by both soldiers and artists alike.
The Warrior's Way Emphasises many aspects of warfare, but generally promotes 3 things: taking responsibility of the death of another, keeping confict brief and decisive, and taking planets intact.
In many of her poems, Myrava tells us that when one being kills another in war, the killer has a responsibility to use the life they robbed from the other. All life is considered precious, and the warrior may bear no personal hate to her foe. It is often due to circumstance that death must be granted to one or the other, and the warrior will often never know who she has killed, but the ones the killed leaves behind will. It is due to this that the warrior must always remember to live as well as they can if they have taken life, permitting herself peace for the sacrifice of the unknown lives she has taken, and in time preserving or creating new life to replace the death that hangs over her.
In her writings on how to quickly conclude conflict, Myrava said that the state can only spport war for so long, and that prolonged confict will cause more suffering in victory and a short confict will in defeat. In order to shorten conflict, space must first be conquered, for the orbit around a world will give you access to the planet at a moment's notice. Once the orbit is conquered, control must quickly be established in the airspace of a world, including enemy aircraft and surface-to-orbit weapons,  to to facilitate landings and keep yourself from being surrounded if reinforcements come.
Then, Myrava makes her third point: simply destroying or rendering a world uninhabitable is a waste of habitable planet space, and kills off the population, which will render the world's environment hard to control and deny the conquerers a source of resources and income to fuel the attacking empire's war effort and recovery from the conflict. In time, provided the attacker has the resources, they should improve and intergrate the existing infrastructure to suit their own processes and culture. Within a generation or two, most planets will fall in line and become a part of the attacker's people.
Myrava makes many more points and observations throughout The Warrior's Way, but it is these three principles which have shaped galactic warfare for so long, and will almost certainly continue to do so.
