hi hi ...Eh fair point I forgot it was depicted with accompanying ships. Probably partly didnt register just because I think its silly to chase down debris with whole formations. I imagine the squadron is there not for a single piece of debris, but to sweep the entire debris field. They blew up an ...

They will notice the ship has gone rogue as soon as the ship departs from its orders (honestly probably before that) but its not like they are in formation with a bunch of not-captured ships. They would have a much higher chance of escape due to the likely solo nature of the mission their target sh...

I think that this may be the chance for Alex to shine... Next page: Alex moving mini-figs around a schematic of the Umiak cruiser. ;-) On the subject of escaping with the cruiser: Arioch has stated that even Terran weapons are effective at close enough range. If the cruiser is in formation with (i....

Forgive the newby, uninformed question, but can someone remind me what kind of drive the Loroi ships use when simply traveling through normal space? What that ever described? The Loroi and most of the other major combatants use taimat-powered "Floater" drives. Taimat (also known as "Type A" fuel) i...

I really enjoy this page visually. Very dramatic. what is k chunk in this case. Music? the grapples from the Umiak ship, stabilizing the tumble of,the shuttle (last page), then the "emergency airlock" for the boarding party (the pressure did not go down to zero!) (this page). Alex knows what k-chunk...

So Jardin's taking his dream at face value ("cyborg bug-monsters"). Interesting.

The Umiak should be able to guess there's something interesting on Highland-7 without breaking any codes. The Stray (Kikitik-27) knows that Strike Group 51 encountered the remains of an unidentified vessel at Naam. It suspects SG 51 was able to recover some artifacts. It can guess that SG 51 will tr...

Hmm, either the Umiak have good scanners, or have been hinted at where to look. Or their Lotai devices allowed them to locate Sanzai as well. Or their monomaniacal natures being what they are someone realized that the shuttle could fit through the gap of the station's outer ring and as thus could s...

I was thinking, not every aspect of science and technology advances at the same rate. What would be the area of science and tech that humans are most advanced in? Page 155: "Your information processing systems are admittedly impressive for a civilization of such extremely poor technological advance...

Also, is it just me or have Alex kept the Loroi in the dark regarding how love rank ensign is? During the attack on the Bellarmine, he said that he was "not on the bridge" (page 60) as if he could usually be expected to be there (and not running repair works). Can we assume that Alex original rank ...

Great way to look suspcious Alex

I think he's supposed to look pitying and/or sympathetic.

@Arioch:
Awesome. Thanks for the response.

@Werra:
This isn't a definitive answer, but the lexicon lists "teshros" for voice. Perhaps starship captains aren't the only one who use speech in a ritualized manner

Hello, all. I had a couple language-adjacent questions. Do the Loroi have a name for their system(s) of government? I am thinking specifically of their oligarchic councils and the office of consul. The lexicon lists the Diadem as the Loroi's ruling council. I initially assumed "Diadem Council" was a...
