In Response To: Re: The storyline... (Mr. Bill)

: The Pfhor, for all their nastiness, do not seem like a cookie cutter
: "evil empire" or what not. They're a high civilization,
: characterised by very complex socail systems, technologies and so forth of
: which we never see! We only get a very cursouary examination of what
: killing their soldiers is like- and so, in a way, we can only assume what
: its like to be a Pfhor magistrate on some foreign planet, or too live as
: an aristocrat on their capital. My point is, we only see- and only then on
: glimpse really- their military side, but that gives us no reason to assume
: their a totaly militarist culture.

So, perhaps, the next direction to take the scenario is to delve into that more "common" Pfhor culture; their original family/civil structure. Now that their military might has been fractured, a way can be found into the midst of their civilian life. Perhaps they are totally "evil" and even enslave their wives and children, or they are no different than us in many respects. Would it be good or bad to subject them to Durandal's schemes? Do they need to be freed? Maybe they are no more colonial than England during the height of her empire, or like Japan during WWII?
