Well, if you're a wealthy business magnate with enough power to earn breeding rights, when your daughter grows up and takes over your business, it's likely that she'll also have enough power to do the same. What if this wealthy individual wants to make herself clone replacement instead of a child? ...

Daughters of civilians occasionally are trained as warriors, as a favor to a high-ranking civilian female, or if the child demonstrates powerful psi abilities. But as was mentioned, Loroi civilians don't normally have children. There are some powerful dynasties of civilian females that have been ha...

Jupiter's orbit pass right through the edge of that jump zone, so an inbound ship with an unlucky timing might end up in the gas giant.

It is unlikely to happen since Jupiter orbit is is much larger and it orbital period is also longer.

@ Arioch: Please check your PMs.  I submitted a list of 230 stars within 25.1 LY of Sol in the Galactic {X,Y,Z} format that I assume matches the format you posted.  I hope you find it useful.  -KR-

Where did you find the names?
Source?

Not for now, the 3D tech will be useful in space or in extraterrestrial environments.

There is a 3D animated map of our stellar neighbourhood upto 10 persecs.

Alex is vibing in Beryl's lap!

DAVE!!!!!!!

It's also worth nothing that the organism you linked is a bit of a cheating in the fashion of Theseus' ship - it's not a single extremely old organism, it's a colony of interlinked clones, in which old individual organisms continuoisly keep dying off and being replaced by younger clones. Yes, it's ...

Past about 400, the telomeres are exhausted and they body's systems start to break down; a Loroi can be kept alive past this point with increasingly invasive ultra-tech medicine, but she certainly won't grow any further. There are ways around telomere exhaustion or alternatively, lifeforms that don...

It may be safe to assume that the Loroi equivalent of a "Zombie" might apply to the senzai-driven takeover of another being's thoughts and actions ... like a certain Mizol did recently ... Good point, this also might explain why the swamp-witches have such a bad image among the other Loroi. Althoug...

A Blue Smeagol???

Probably a blue God-Emperor of Mankind on the Golden Throne, withered limbs, empty eye-sockets, and a few gorillion tubes sticking out of every part of a half-decayed body and everything.

SpoilerShow

It certainly is my fetish

I see yer a nobz of kultur as well as I !!!

Remenber the Loroi sleeping around Alex? The group was minus Tempo and Fireblade. So you count that number plus 2, and you have the total of Loroi on board. In this most recent comic one only has to count the number to see if any are missing. Since if that is so... that's a giant red flag right the...

A Blue Yoda????

Not exactly... more gruesome.

A Blue Smeagol???

Loroi typically grow a few centimeters over their first 100 years, but genetics and environment are as much of a factor as age. Fireblade is 5'10" (178 cm), but she's only 25... this is more genes than age. Over each of her subsequent 100 years, a Loroi may grow a few centimeters more, but so will ...

Hey ya'll, after some thought and deliberation, I have changed chapter 12. The humanity envoys don't meet Greywind. Instead of walking up to the Emperor, clearance is highly restricted. So our two humanity envoys must find another way to reach Ben. Haven't read the "original" one, and I say this ve...

So how long until we see Jardin finally "hearing" sanzai? I always wanted to see their unspoken dialogue.

He already heard it in FireBlade's dreams, it'll be better for him to keep quiet about this, and eavesdrop on the Loroi.

I still like the Umiak on ice theory. Simply have an autopilot, freeze down the Umiak & wake them shortly before the last jump.

Deicing will take time, they perhaps keep themselves in medbay or under drugs. When the warp sickness wears off, they go into action.
I think Arioch stated this.

What would be the Trade equivalent of 'God' or 'deity'?
Just soia?

[...] I think that the Umiak have either found or were given some psi-jamming Soia device. Unfortunately, it only jams the "optimized and streamlined" telepathy of the Loroi, not the Human original. This will enable our protagonist to play an important role. Just a wild-eyed guess, but maybe those ...

These fetishes are getting really specific.

Blame Tempo's posterior.
