Umiak: FREE CAKE!!! oh man I'm so there

You can't use death threats because they are indoctrinated not to look to their own safety. you can't tell them that the battle is hopeless because they will fight on anyway, so how do you mess with a Umiaks head in warfare? We have seen some variation in the form of Kikitik-27 but I imagine it is a...

Just realized, the first encounter between Humans and Aliens takes place on October 31st. I also just realized that there must have been more that a few post on this topic so I'm the last one to get the Joke

reading the insider I notice that the lighter Umiak Ships have veriations in their length, for example the Type-ks Missile Cruiser is between 300- 400 meters and the Light Destroyer is 120-180 meters long. I know the insider says that each vessel is unique but I wonder if this is done intentionally ...

on page 92 the Destroyer in the fore ground looks it takes some of its design ques from the F-22 Raptor.

how important are aesthetics to the Loroi when they build their ships, to me the Loroi seem to craft their ships rather than build them?

Doesn't Beryl's character sheet have her with a trait that has her extra curious of xenos? Is that official? She's a xenophile (which has a specific meaning in GURPS that is NOT "wants to fuck every xeno she comes across"). The officialness of the char sheets has never been denied by Arioch (that I...

Dr Strangelove anyone?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that she's eyeing him suspiciously because he's saying something in English and not Trade, knowing how paranoid the Loroi are about Umiak infiltration she would find it suspicious that he would speak in English and not Trade. That or the long wind of silen...

I meant he must have been great at parties,

Alex seems to be well versed in what are probably outdated pop culture refrences, (sorta of like Tom Paris) bet it got a lot of laughs at the Academy.

now called unto eternal rest, we comit these bodies to the deep (as in deep space).

hm, I guess Laughing out loud is not uniqe to Beryl. I've always wonder what kind of humor the Loroi like, considering they are a warrior society some gallows humor would probably amusing or maybe some vaudeville, play me off johnny.

no doubt the regular officers can't shake the feeling that the Mizol is just WAITING for them to fail/step out of line if irrational fears are possible with the Loroi

Stillstorm was a political opponent of the officer who eventually became the Fourth Emperor (Greywind), but Stillstorm was never herself in consideration for the succession -- she was only a senior captain when the Third Emperor was killed. Stillstorm was gravely injured when she lost her ship in t...
