> > I hope there'll be more on the Shee-Yar survey sometime. They controlled dozens of plants, and none but their homeworld were ever described. They were an ancient civilisation given to hording captured treasures and secrets. There have to be some stories there.
> Not for long, because if you noticed the Trading Alliance got permission for salvage rights from the Galactic government. Same rules as maritime salvage, approximately, that if no one is left alive to inherit/object everything physically under Company control becomes their property.

There are plenty of "salvage" stories to tell.

And since the Galactic government and the Trading Alliance seem to come from the next neighbourhood across on the far side of the Shee-Yar empire there's probably limited communication or understanding between them and the more well-known "local" races we've seen before; which of course means there's going to be some political friction and some border skirmishes - maybe some gunboat diplomacy.

> > The Broob, for new breeding grounds
> Depends how aggressive their tendencies are, and how patient they are. They could simply wait for the salvage operation to leave before moving in, that would be easiest. If they're more aggressive than that they may end up with ships disappearing too.

Thay're AG's PV version of the X-men villains the Brood, a ferocious reptilian/inectoid race that lays its eggs inside people to steal the host's genetic potential. They're similar in appearance and character to Sigourney Weaver's Aliens.

> > You do realise that by flying alive out of the devastation zone then heading for Earth your crew have just become prime suspects, right?
> That doesn't really make them suspects for wiping out a civilization, especially since they were dispatched to investigate the wipeout after it already happened. They had permission from the Company to investigate too.

But for the other races not familiar with the company or the galactic government all they see is more of their ships vanishing and this one vessel flying out of the devastation. That's got to lead to a few hasty conclusions.
