The auxiliary ships would be large, but they could also have multipurpose assembly/manufacturing lines(and being of several layers/levels). The use of lasers, advanced milling machines and such could likely condense the space a fully automated factory needs by quite a bit. One of the biggest problem...

As has been mentioned, this is tantamount to torture, and so there was some apprehension in the room, and everyone but the three Teidar was ordered out. Alex's subsequent convulsions and inability to breathe were not telepathic effects, but the result of telekinetic pressure. He eventually blacked ...

Interesting thought, Sweforce. It might take awhile for such a song to be popular. It might be faster if it was an epic poem/saga that is spoken/chanted rather than sung. Of course the current Emperor wouldn't like it (Stillstorm was a supporter of the other contender for Emperor), but I don't think...

I think it would take a lot longer than a few days for shots fired from the edge of a star system to reach the inner system. Even at the speeds a rail-gun could fire at. Doesn't matter how long it takes. A planet has a fixed trajectory and you can technically nuke it from another system if you're p...

I think in music, the Loroi have instruments, and use it, but their singing is limited to maybe some screaming (as in an accompaniment to a musical piece), like a war cry. Nothing like we have with singers. But that said, the Loroi have heard the music of other species that do have singers more like...

I don't run IRC anymore. Sorry.

well, i might be a minority here, and in the world in general, but i always thought a leader of a nation should be expected to believe in the ideals of his nation and be ready to lay down his life for those. and if not, should not BE a leader of a nation.... so, imho getting the 'right' to vote aft...

At some point the Loroi will have to expand into the Great Wastelands to keep up with the Umiak. That process would go much more smoothly, or may even be able to start much earlier, if Humanity (which is experienced in long-jumps and having to search more to find suitable colony systems) could prov...

Orgus played the role of advisors while the scouting corp was formed. Also, assuming that their tech is better, they can serve as scientific advisers, too. After those possibilities are exhausted...?? They will probably be granted some form of citizenship on Esperanza and by the TCA. They wouldn't ...

True, but treating even friends like dirt is the hallmark of evil. That is why I'm concerned with the Umiak. I'm curious, if humans were to negotiate with Umiak, what kind of a deal could they pull off? Could they avoid the harsh quotas? Arioch? I'd say the Umiak would send in several fleets to tur...

Specifically... The Umiak have a non neutrality policy as well and they do enslave all weaker species in their domain, turning their planets into industrial wastelands and taxing them to the point of extinction. The Orgus refugees that reached Earth attested to this. http://well-of-souls.com/outsid...

There's a slight problem with that theory, Alex isn't at easy. He's wound tighter than a collage student with two days to write a 100 page essay, with citations and source material. He's not exactly at ease because he is the only human left of his ship.

How does that explain the Loroi men though?

Slapstick comedy. It turns out that old Three Stooges and Charley Chapman, Abbot and Costello and comedy like that outs the Umiak into a neurological state that makes them very passive and it spreads like wildfire as each ship that ties into the imagery gets hooked. Unable to resist and unable to do...

I do notice one F-18 perched precariously on the flight deck, though. :D I'm used to seeing a fair amount of planes on a carrier deck, so wonder what's going on here. Did the air group got downsized? Is there a large mission in progress? Or did all the other deck-based planes take a dive? :mrgreen:...

That's why I said it's a Total War, full mobilization with nothing and no one allowed to deviate from the plan (which means that men are expendable and expected to die by the droves to keep child bearing women safe), also forgot to add that this is a completely theoretical exercise, taking for gran...

You're forgetting that the humans have females in their military. Given the percentage we saw on the prologue, it could be something like 30-40% of the human space forces are female. Unless you remove all females from military duty. you also don't seem to be taking into account that Lorio are physic...

hi hi ((Forum opened the wrong page, the following is a response to something said a long time ago, without me realizing it: I got the impression that clothing would help mute the physical contact connection. Still, do you suppose the Loroi have clearly marked lanes for walking in crowded areas to ...

Speaking of loroi uniforms: Are they designed to be washed? if so, how? if not, how are they kept clean? Off hand I'd say they are cleaned much like any other uniform/suit of armor. Nothing too difficult or hard, just maybe time consuming if done by hand, but most likely done by a machine for effic...
