: Earlier on that same level (1st terminal on that page): I have received a
: preliminary report from some members of the
: science staff who have finished post-mortem examinations on
: three kinds of Aliens. They report that by modern
: genealogical standards the different Aliens belong to
: different species .
"Three kinds" = Pfhor, Hulk and S'pht. That one doesn't mention Enforcers specifically, only Fighters and Troopers; but the terminals certainly lead one to believe that they're all of common origin, eye counts and blood colors notwithstanding.
: Also, that bit about the Enforcers keeping the other Pfhor in line is what
: made me think of this.
I guess that's three possible [?analogs] for the Elites: the S'pht in their story role (also for the whole proud-warrior-race portrayal and the revering of the Jjaro/Forerunner(s)), the Hunters physically, and the Enforcers in their role in the enemy society.
: Also also, just because TFear is an admiral doesn't mean his people (who
: appear Fighter-like) are the top ranks of the Pfhor. The Elites have
: admirals too. (Granted, a Prophet would never sink so low as to be a mere
: field commander as Enforcers appear to be).
