So let's say you got this nasty neighbor you don't like. And who blocks your expansion.
Pretty simple idea:
Grab rank 1 Pragmatism for 3 constructors. Convert to colony ships.
Then use that to grab rank 1 Benevolence (free colony ship) and then:
Rank 1 and 3 of the first branch of Malevolence grants a frigate ship (pretty awesome early game) and 5 fully loaded transport.
So grab that military power and destroy your nearest neighbor.
Then colonize more worlds and grab Benevolence rank III free pop upon colonization, and win!
