I honestly don't know how Abh expansionism compares with Cetengan expansionism (except the Abh empire is a LOT bigger). They are definitely less hard on
their conquests. However, they don't see any reason, short of physical difficulty, not to conquer a planet. They are much more imperialistic than Barrayar.
One of the themes in the Vor saga is that Barrayar gets a somewhat unfair bad press. They are not out for conquest.
