Just what is the Great Mission? to evolve a replacement species to eventually replace the eorna and stop the sathar. So what have the eorna been doing for 900 years? Their society is crippled and their industrial base is largely destroyed, so what makes them think they will be able to stop the sathar next time?<br /><br />In an in-elegant Borg of Star Trek sort of way the sathar pointed them in one possible direction- bio-engineered creatures. They have not been just evolving new sapient races but they have been developing air and "mechanized" role filling creatures. <br /><br /><b>Queequeg</b> is very much like the edestakai which we know it is possible for a radio reciever to be implanted into them so why not the queequeg? they are large and dangerous.<br /><br /><b>Air whales </b>make little sense to me as a evolved creature but as a designed creature I can buy them:<br />http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/8128#comment-35286<br /><br /><b>The rogue crystals</b> (SF-1) are an early prototype in the development of the air whale but because they are rogue they have been abandoned as a project.<br /><br />the <b>Magma monster</b> is a creature developed as part of this program but it proved difficult to find an application for using it in combat <br /><br />Clearly things are going in the direction of the Avatar movie's conclusion here but it makes more sense that the eorna would play to their strengths, bio-manipulation, and develop a conprehensive plan for defending against the sathar. <br /><br />If I remember correctly one of the battle encounters involves a cybernetically controlled <b>megasaurus</b> employed by the eorna. Thus the megasaurus may have been developed as part of the over all plan- its size has been increased over the past 900 years and it employs a cybernetic control unit reverse engineered from a cybo-dragon control unit.
