I now generic engineering was used to create the Loroi by a precursor race, and have most likely used what we think of it and the old fashion version of selective breeding for traits on them sleeves. I believe if I remember right there are some mechanical augmentations here and there for boosting t...

Quick question: I've been mulling over ideas for a fanfiction project, and one question eludes me: How far is the distance between human space and the Loroi/Urmiak battlezone? Because one of my settings is a legit Transhuman Space / Traveller fusion setting, and the plan is that an IEB (Imperial Ex...

Question: the picture linked on the Insider page (of a younger Fireblade enjoying the view out over Toridas harbor as the sun sets) seems to show the sun setting off to the right behind inland mountains, while the map of Maoren linked on Insider shows that Toridas seems to have the sea/ocean only t...

Assuming that Alex's eyes are officially brown (which is what I'd call them), would that be considered a strange eye-color by the loroi? They seem to have a good bit more color diversity than humans at least when it comes to hair color; are there loroi with brown irises? There are Loroi with brown ...

Contrasting bands are a standard feature of warning coloration because they are easier to see, but red and yellow (or some combination) are the most common warning colors aside from white and black. My guess is that this is because they are easier to see rather than some kind of association with blo...

I am curious about the biologically based displays, though because, for the loroi, wouldn't "blue" be a warning color due to their blood? What significance would yellow hold for them biologically? Is it their bruising color perhaps? Blue is the color of Loroi blood, but it's also the color of their...

Human color vision is compiled from a series of cone cells that react to particular wave lengths. Other creatures on earth sometimes have vastly different mechanism for the same. So with regards the Loroi and other alien races, screen is they did all use the "three cone cells" configuration, would ...

I'm reminded of a sequence from The American President : ROBIN: "I think the important thing is not to make it look like we're panicking." SHEPHERD: "See, and I think the important thing is actually not to be panicking." An important skill of a psionic leader is to be able to block oneself off from ...

Regarding steroids in the future. Would the main players have "exercise pills" that activate the same biochemical pathways as actually exercising? Do soia lieon species even have to deal with things like muscle atrophy as a result of a lack of use? I think that in general, having soldiers be depend...

Follow-up question: for the Nezel system, is there a significant loroi population (either in orbital platforms or planetside)? Beryl mentions that system as hosting a reserve fleet base , so I would assume that that means a meaningful loroi population at least counting those aboard the warships doc...

Regarding the Diral. Assuming that it lasts two Earth years: (2.84 Perrein years). Would it be fair to say that a Diral lasts for 68 perrein "weeks". I don't think the term "Perrein week" has any particular meaning. Deinar has the nanapi which is a 12-day month (a transit of the smaller moon), but ...

Does this affect telekinesis as well, or is it purely for telepathy?

Regular telepathic jamming only affects telepathy.

Antipsi can affect psychokinesis.

Are there any planet-side settlements in the Azimol system? If I'm not mistaken, it was originally a Neridi/Loroi colony which was overrun early in the war, depopulated much like Seren, and then retaken by the Union. Has anyone 'resettled' the planet, or is it judged too near the front-lines for an...

There are many, many effective options for orbital bombardment at this tech level. The simplest are taimat bombs and high-velocity kinetic missiles. Standard AMM missiles are very capable at ground bombardment, and there are specialized versions for this purpose which are heavier and less maneuverab...

How big is Mestirot, compared to some Earth Continents as reference? How big is Belerid and Amenal on Taben, compared to some Earth landmasses? Mestirot is roughly similar in size to the Old World (Europe/Asia/Africa). Beleri is about the size of Alaska. Amenal is a string of islands separated over...

On a more serious note, how widespread is the appreciation for any "alien cultural references" among the Loroi? Would that be an odd 1 percent?

There are individual exceptions, but in general the Loroi are not interested in the culture of outsiders. They are a fairly insular society.

Could a Mizol or a Teidar attack even more directly, and kill the target through a purely psionic attack? Basically, will them to die? A psionic equivalent of the DnD spell "Power Word: Kill"? Would that be easier than telekinesis, or is that something only a true master might pull off? I think tha...

Could telekinetic powers be used to "cut" or "cleave"? Perhaps by concentrating a "push", or would that be far too complex, and a good ol' "splatter" is plenty sufficient? In a battle against hardtroopers, what would be more efficient (given roughly equal skill and output), simple telekinesis, pyro...

How often or rare are seer or farseer births among the Loroi? Loroi are born with varying degrees of telepathic sensitivity. Individuals sensitive enough to be eligible for seer training are uncommon, but not exceeding rare (not as rare as psychokinetics, for example). Individuals meeting the minim...
