Real world is not SciFi. I will be forced to challenge you with my 
Orilla if you make that mistake
again.

Actually I am one of the few who can fight a "Gorilla" (actually Orilla)

war in SciFi. I have a unit of
Orilla which got their name because they looked like Gorilla's but the 
Earth PR types got the name
changed just-in-time to avoid an interplanetary incident. It's an 
interesting unit and one day I'll try it
in Stargrunt.
