: Ellio7t, you raise an interesting point. Why didn't the Pfhor occupy Lh'owon?
: Why would they cart away all the S'pht, kill those that resisted and not
: occupy the planet afterwards? There seemed to be a lot of useful
: technology that they could have exploited. If they stole so much of their
: technology from the Jjaro, wouldn't a functioning Jjaro AI (Thoth) have
: been of use to them? Instead, they irradiated Lh'owon and left it alone
: for a millenium, returning only when we went looking for it. My opinion is
: that Lh'owon was an exception - as Durandal said, it wasn't their style.
: Since they couldn't capture all the S'pht and couldn't round up the last
: of them, they instead decided to torture them with a slow death. This is
: perhaps an even more brutal approach than simply using the trih xeem. With
: the conquest of Earth, however, I'm sure they would have quickly overtaken
: our inferior technology, enslaved all of us and made Earth a part of the
: Pfhor Empire.
I always thought it was so long ago taken that the tech was too far beyond them and lost in beuricartic B.S. This only applies to the M2/Mi universe of a military structured pfhor. The M1 gave me the impression that they rape the home world clean of all the things they would want and move on. They had no need of an A.I. in M1.
perhapse they feared the Thoth A.I. after all it did help anyone it thought needed help. How is that usefull to a slaver?
