Ben raises a curious eyebrow. "Your people were conquerors? I was one - though I've left that life behind, I don't believe whatever's left would listen to me. I gave up my authority. Word would have gotten out that I defected, and the most I could expect from my old allies is a speedy execution."
He shrugs a little. "I offered my help to Ravage's crew if they never need it. They oppose governments like the one I ruled over. I supose it's my way of making amends."
