Subject: Phalon Society
As no-one but the GZG crew has seen the missing page 34 of FB2, I wonder if anyone would like to guess what is the missing background to the Phalons? Not every nuance of course just a general idea about the core of their society Looking at the other two xenos. The Kra'Vak are a polygendaric(PSB) race (3 sexes male/female/neuter). The Sa'Vasku although it is not spelled out I believe are a polymorphic race. As the 'real' Sa'Vasku are gigantic immobile beings they must be natural genetic manipulators and grow their bio-constructs from their own genetic material. So all the constucts will contain the SV DNA and are actually SV, many forms - one race. Of course only the 'real' SV have any say in the government of their society, the ultimate oligarchy. One possible idea for the Phalons would be a multi-species race, polytaxic I believe is the term. Each species occupying different niches in the society. Rather like the apes in 'Planet of the Apes', except that was different genera of course. Any other guesses, anyone?
