: 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.
: Not technically true. See above.
The Drinniol revolt WAS definitely put down with the trih xeem. I'm not asking why it wasn't... I'm asking how the hell do they still exist afterwards, and why didn't Durandal use them as an example if that was the "worst slave revolt in Pfhor history"?
"The battle on Lh'owon had gone according to projections: that to trap Durandal and end the threat of Tau Ceti, we would, as we did with the Drinniol rebellion, be forced to use the "trih xeem.""

Also, I forgot in my intial post the whole reason why I started thinking about this... can anybody find anything to suggest whether the Drinniol or Nahk revolts came first? The Nahk revolt was 6,000 years ago, which seems like quite a long time ago. But if that was the worst, and the S'pht revolt is the worst since the Nahk, that would imply that the Nahk revolt was not as bad as the Drinniol but occurred at a later date. So we'd have three "peaks" in Pfhor slave revolt history:
1st - Drinniol - the worst
2nd - Nahk - not as bad, but still bad
3rd - S'pht - less bad than the Nahk
Am I right?
