Safe Acension for Baseline Bob

Since transapients control civilized space, are the modosophants they rule allowed to fight in wars? I know that the Utopia sphere allows modos to be symbolic warriors, but what about elsewhere in civilized space?

Quick correction: the Archailects control civilised space and the transapient community often aides them.

When you say "allowed to fight in wars?" I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you mean are they allowed to join their empire's armed forces and go off to battle when needed the answer is mostly yes, with some caveats. Non-sophont warbots are vastly better than most modosophonts. For a modo to actually contribute meaningfully they would either have to be assigned a low-risk/priority role or be so radically augmented they basically become a warbot.

If you meant are they allowed to go to war with each other the answer is maybe, but most often not. The archai keep the peace within their spheres of influence so major conflicts are very rare. Having said that they may allow minor, limited skirmishes if they think some good will come out of it (like a longer period of peace). Given that the sephirotics span tens of millions of systems what they class as a "minor skirmish" could be an interstellar total war by our standards.
