Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Why did the Tar-Aiym, if they were able to build a weapons platform capable of affecting other galaxies, feel the need to develop and unleash an uncontrollable plague? Earlier exposition makes it sound like some kind of Resident Evil style lab accident, but seriously, the weapons platform from Flinx Transcendent could have wiped out the Hur'rikku in one or two shots!
    • The Tar-Aiym were ambitious conquerors in their own right. Possibly they'd wanted to avoid destroying the Hur'rikku-occupied planets altogether, having had designs on that region of space for themselves. By the time they realized the plague had jumped species and was wiping out more than just its target race, it was already too late to burn the border zone's planets as a quarantine measure.
