Item #1 The sathar were a space faring race 900 years prior to the Voltunus modules when the discovered and attempted to wipe out the eorna.<br /><br />Item #2 The Clikks abandoned the heliopes on Starmist 600 years ago and never returned. There is elements in what the clikks did that suggest security measures against an enemy gainning intell from what was left behind.<br />But my operative point is that the Clikks were a space faring race at least 600 years ago.<br /><br />This means that the clikks and the sathar were both space faring races at the same time. there is a bit of an implication that the clikks are not around anymore though that is always open to interpretation by each referee.<br /><br />[quote=jedion in Zebs Expanded project] <br />http://starfrontiers.us/node/5385<br /><br />If the sathar were an interstellar
space faring race 900 years would they not, after 900 years have tech
that blows the doors off anything the Rim and UPF currently have? They
should but they dont. The implication there is that they have maintained
the same level of tech for 1000 years with little to no change or
improvement. This it very telling. It suggests, to me, that they
actually inherited their tech from a master race that had been the
inovator. They can maintain and build to the specs the equipment they
inherited but they just cant innovate. It suggest a reason for why they
wanted to steal the Osprey in WoWL module since the statement in the
modules was that they had no answer for the assualt scout. it also
suggests a reason for decades of using spies, infiltrators and agents to
weaken the Frontier- it may have been to acquire the innovative tech
the comes naturally to the Core 4 and the Rim races. <br /><br />If the
above is true about the sathar then the good news is that in another 40
years after SW2 they wont be able to stand against the combined might of
the Rim and the UPF.[/quote]<br /><br />I'm proposing that the sathar and the clikks had contact and seeing how much the sathar are noted for being good neighbors with a live and let live attitude, I think we can surmise how that contact went. Perhaps the clikk/sathar relations was the reason behind building the big tank that was on Starmist?<br /><br />{jedion arranges his thoughts while music is playing in the background and begins to nod his head in time to the music}<br />[quote=AC DC]<br />The data bank knows my number<br />Says I gotta pay cause I made the grade last year<br />Feel it when I turn the screw<br />Kicks you around the world, there aint a think that it can't do<br />Do to you<br /><br />Who made who, who made you?<br />Who made who, aint nobody told you?<br />Who made who, who made you?<br />If you made them and they made you<br />Who picked up the bill, who?

They really are the unwitting pawns of this AI and are only carrying out its directives.<br />They just continue to do as they are directed as they did under the clikk. This could be the explanation for the lack of innovation over 1000 years of space faring history. The AI dispatches them to destroy other space faring civilizations out of fear that they like the clikks will fear it and try to destroy it so these other civs must be destroyed or dominated.
