[quote=@ClocktowerEchos] I was thinking that the Oqer was once just cloned workers and such for the Old Ones. However, once the OOs found about your race having crash landed, they didn't know what the hell they were dealing with so they just slightly altered the Oqers to be soldiers to try and eradicate your aliens. Clearly, they didn't do that great of a job. Rushing up to modern times, I was wondering if you'd be interested in a relation of one of these: 1) The Oqer still hold a dislike or hatred of the aliens due to genetic encoding by their creators that still linger, leading them to still wanting to fight your aliens. 2) The Oqer simply lacking any real attitude towards your aliens. They know your race exists, they know they've fought before on behalf of their masters but don't really care any more. 3) The Oqer see your aliens as "liberators" in some way since they thought your aliens some how "freed" them by "destroying the oppressors". [/quote] Ah well. Ok. I was picturing my Arthropods as a non-sentient stowaway creature on the OO's ships-they crash, my race's destiny is altered considerably. In regards to Oqer/Arthropod relations I was thinking they would have common ground in being decidedly non-human. Potential conquerors of the weakling humans. Perhaps there are factions of Oqer with some combination of (3) and (1)? Whichever, my Scaablin have no recollection of the Old Ones, wouldn't even know they existed outside of the various ruins around Azoth. It's simply been too long since those events. They exist in a vague-mythic history that scholars still debate today.
