In Response To: Re: Come and Take Your Medicine Term 1.1 (Philtron)

: The question of why the Pfhor didn't find Earth is an interesting one,
: especially since Earth seems to be roughly between Tau Ceti and the Pfhor
: homeworld.

Of course the easy the answer to this is that Bungie didn't think that deeply about it and when Rob or Mark were asked to draw a star map for a terminal they came up with a pic that raises more questions than answers.

: It might be that the space between Earth and the Pfhor homeworld is occupied
: by some other cilization(s) which might be hostile to the Pfhor, such as
: the Nar. This would make sense considering that Leela was being
: transported through that area of space when her ship was attacked by a Nar
: Privateer. Perhaps attacks like this are common in that area of space and
: impede the Pfhor from finding Earth.

Of course, this begs the question... if Earth is in Nar territory why didn't we encounter their gigantic 'coal-powered interstellar battlewagons'. ;)

The only reason they came to Tau Ceti
: being Durandal contacting them directly. By the way, how did Durandal know
: about the Pfhor and how to contact them?

I presume that since the Marathon had the ability to contact Earth it would have the means to send out some sort of message to a nearby Pfhor scoutship. Since the Marathon was in orbit around Tau Ceti for the best part of 21 years before the attack, Durandal had plenty time to search for alien life and contact them. He got lucky I guess.
