11. I dimly recall a reference to some sort of servitor race thing who’s bodies, well fossils, were found at Prothean colonies. Perhaps the Proteans learned something from studding the Keepers and the Hanar were the end product.
12. If the Hanar have functional Prothean VIs perhaps they have a space combat one. Would explain some things. Maybe from the Prothean Warship.
13. Was nice to hear that Vigil was asked about the Hanar. Too bad he didn’t know anything.
14. The more I think about it the more I don’t want the Batarian document pushed back. The summeries about Omega and the changes after Shepards death seemed perfectly acquit for me to understand what was going on. That just my view but I don’t have all the information.
The oldest jobs that could be consider true professions are prostitutes, mercenaries, and brewers in that order. Money, sex, war, and drugs. I guess that tells you all you need to know about the human race. I don't know if I should be sad about that or scream HUMANITY FUCK YEAH!
Bitch, I'm wearing kinky boots and leather. Do you really think your going to win this fight?
I was so happy with the next chapter of Separatist Races until we got to the Second Refusal War.
1. The fact the Hanar are actually an elder race goes a long way to explaining any advantages they have, though it makes me question what the Protheans were doing with the Asari and Humans if they had a colony and species that the Reapers apparently never managed to get to.
2. The Drell bits were very interesting, can’t wait to see more on them. I like that one of the biggest advantages of the Rememberance Dancers is that they have access to Prothean biotic teaching, hell of a tech up. Also explains how they have any chance over Asari commandos/priestesses who live a lot longer, thus have more time to train, and the Turian hordes. But one wonders how long such advantages will last.
3. How do the Thirty rationalize that they are the chosen of their ‘Goddess’ while the Hanar clearly got a better uplift package?
4. The first Hanar/Council War (Zero Refusal War?) was a nice well throughout move. Turns out blindly invading someone isn’t a good idea. Liked the affect it had on Council society. Explains why the Salarians and Asari are willing to work together despite wanting to dominate the other. Can’t go to war with your ally when someone more powerful is right around the corner.
5. The First Refusal War was interesting and felt right. Hanar fall back sacrificing Drell colonies until the Council over extended and got their noise bloodied. Sounded like once the Council got serious and the Turians went to war footing after the attack on their homeworld, the Hanar threw everything they had at making the Council back off.
6. The Second Refusal War really threw me. The STG was fooled by the Drell loyalists among the Valkhana. The Asari with 1000 year life spans couldn’t remember the last war. The Turians, what, screwed up their logistics? Then the Hanar fight all the way to Palaven and bomb the capital tower, have better guns, shields, hacking, make a mockery of all other races special forces, and captured the Citadel. The Hanar literally beat everyone at their own game. While not impossible to explain, it kind of breaks with the Mass Effect feel when the Council isn’t top dog among the known races.
7. Invading the Hanar colonies was always a bloody slog so why didn’t the Council, or at-least the Turians, bomb them from orbit? Any Prothean artifacts are surely in secure vaults and will survive.
8. Did the Council actually make a well throughout reasoned decision about the Terminus? Did they learn the lesson that the USA and the great powers of old never learned? Yeah turns out just because you can roll over someone’s military doesn’t mean you can successfully hold the territory without bleeding manpower, money, and political will.
9. So Hanar are servitors? Maybe a Prothean project the Leviathans took over? Interesting the Hanar are weak to Asari melds. Perhaps the Thirty aren’t the only ones with a crisis of faith in the future.
10. While I’m ambivalent about changing the timeframe of the Batarian File, I still would like to hear what the Hegemony, a staple of galactic civilization for a long time, was like. I’m just asking telling us what changed. Like, “The SIU unit used to spend most of their time hunting STG spys and crushing slave revolts but with the rise of the Empire (new information here)”. You get the idea.

Not to mention Victor’s suggested sexist, racist, classist, and religious tendencies. Zealots rarely examine the cost of their actions.

I can answer 1. Have you ever tried to reform anything or looked at the history of bureaucratic and governmental reform? Bill Clinton once said government bueracy is the only real immortality on Earth. Yeah it’s really that bad. The only times significant reforms are passed are after war, during a war, or because a polity is under direct threat of war. To put it simply, no one will give up their tiny powerbase, job, or position unless forced and the only was to do that is if you can convince the powerful elite or general public to support your actions, preferably both. But the public rarely rises unless things are really bad and the elite are usually entrenched in the existing power structure. So good luck changing anything without the perstige of a won war or the outrage of a failed one. Just about every democratic system currently in use requires a bill to be written, go through committee, at least one elected body, implemented with the compermises from the steps. Then you have to stop people coming through and changing it afterword. Now try to enact changes across more than one nation while fighting media from those who will lose out on any reorganzarion of power. Starting over from the ashes without making so many compromises starts looking better and better. But once on top you start to compromise to keep your position and implemented your desired changes or just because you don’t want to deal with trivial shot and the cycle starts anew.
