In Response To: Actual story discussion! (Forrest of B.org)

: On a related note - the Drinniol revolt was apparently the worst slave revolt
: in Pfhor history, and was put down by the trih xeem. So why do the
: Drinniol still exist in slavery, when the Nahk were apparently
: exterminated? And why doesn't Durandal use THEM as his example of the trih
: xeem?

I'd say the likely reason for this is that this revolt was the product of a Drinniol having Jjarotech installed within him. It's possible the Pfhor wanted to view the outcome or possibly did not want to destroy the Jjarotech they had employed in the experiment. There is also the possibility that the Pfhor believed the planet on which the revolt took place was worth fighting for, whereas the Nakh homeworld(s) held little or no value to the Pfhor.

: And this brings up another interesting topic... there are a lot more races in
: Marathon than the big 3 we normally think of. The list that I can pull up
: off the top of my head are

: Pfhor - them

Do you consider the Enforcers as Pfhor? Recall they do have seven eyes...

: Drinniol - Hulks, once caused the worst slave revolt in Pfhor history, put
: down by Trih Xeem

Not technically true. See above.

: Nebulons - apparently hated or at least disregarded by everyone, especially
: Drinniol

Nobody likes *their* style.

: Chokesians - Harassed human colony workes on Tau Ceti (mb those things from
: the old PiD-like beta?)

These could have been any number of things, though most likely some sort of animal, though possibly human rebels or criminals.

: Am I forgetting anyone here?

What about the Jjaro and W'rks? Also, would you classify the AI's as under "human"?
