One "recreational" activity that Umiak crews engage in while on duty, even and especially in times of action and stress, is "singing." It's a group call-and-response chant kind of t...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

I took a look at lorii shielding and I'm wondering would the lorii be willing to give human forces some tech for older shields? since I'm sure even the oldest model of shields would greatly improve human ship based survivability also would the lorii be willing to give Humans a few older ships like t...
