Now what i find interesting is that the chmmr avatar is better at killing old alliance ships then the old battle thralls ships. and is very poorly designed to attack the sa-matra. one of the better ships to kill the sa-matra is the pkunk fury.
maybe they have plans to take over the galaxy?
or do they have more evil desires?

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Remember, we never see the Sa-Matra in combat; we only see the asteroid shell around it.
We know that the Sa-Matra is not firing those weapons since once you take out the shield generators, the defenses stop respawning.
Defiant, I don't see what's messed up -- the communications lines were cut towards the end of the war.

oh yhea! i forgot about that. even so, did both races, on a moments notice, come to the conlusion, that combining there races, would stop the ur-quan. id like to think that "the process" was thought out, long before the war was lost.
i make such a statement with these facts:
both races, both with high intelligence, would not make a hasty judement, that might not work. or worse yet, destroy both races out right. combining one race with another, would need to be researched, planed, and then carried out. research, taking alot of time. i would suppose that they might need to keep it a secret, in the event the we lose the war. most likely, to prevent its knowlege coming to light. all im saying is that it is possible that it was thought out, not just spur of the moment.

SC2 is one of the best games of all time!

One thing that is being overlooked is that it may have taken the Mmrnmhrm and the Chenjesu years to determine if they were indeed compatible with each other.
How many years went by before you came back from Unzervault? At least 20, right?
My guess is that the Mmrnmhrm and the Chenjesu decided to be slave shield together so that they could jointly work on a plan to deal with the Sa-Matra, which the Chenjesu learned about when their Broodhomes were decimated.
Only after years of planning did they come up with the synthesis of a new species (amongst many other plans) as they were able to study each other and determine that there was indeed a compatibility.
So my guess is that the synthesis of a new species was not discovered until after they were slave shielded on the same planet.
There is also the point about them leaving evidence at the Starbase about what was going on - who knows how long they'd been gone from the Starbase? They could have left the day before you arrived for all we know.
I'm sure while they were there they could easily hide it from the Ur-Quan (and that is why there was evidence in the computers), but after the Ur-Quan missed refueling the Starbase (Procyon is farther away than Sol) a few times and the Ilwrath stopped flying through their systems (the Mmrnmhrm and Chenjesu were probably no fun to them since they probably didn't respond to the Ilwrath threats early on) they probably started to think that they could take a chance and leave the station. Maybe they could say (if the Ur-Quan indeed show up) that they ran out of power and the Mmrnmhrm and Chenjesu manning the Starbase perished. Maybe the Ur-Quan would buy it, maybe not, but I'm sure they weighed the risks and decided that it was worth trying to perform the merging at all costs.

There are two problems with that theory that I see.
1. How do we know that the Chenjesu and Mmrnmhrm require oxygen? Or what is their "food" or "water" that they need to surive. They might be able to survive longer then us considering they most likely don't have to "waste" radioactives on the oxygen system.
2. When you go to Procyon before you send the Ilwrath away, it looks like a homeworld. So of the Ilwrath ships there at the slave shielded planet, (Lets just say a hundred thousand) I will assume that those ships need food supplies, oxygen (assuming the IIwrath need it) and fuel. They can't repenish their supplys on the slave shielded world - So were do they do it? Well how about that Space Station built mostly for them. When you think about it, don't you think that even 1 curious IIwrath would venture in the space station. What does he find? Well he finds the same thing that your team found.
Another thing - I have to agree with Defiant about the Chmmr leaving us out of the loop. I mean they could have freed us or at the very least informed us of what they were doing.
O-Well *sigh* More thoughts from FalconMWC

game wise, yes, your right. but we have to imagine that this universe is real, and that all logic that applies in our *real* universe, also applies there as well.
so... wouldnt it be logical to assume that the illwraith, who are stationed here, patroling chenjesu space, check up on our crystal firends. if not just to get more fuel and repairs.
of course maybe they did check up on them. found out no ones home to fix/fuel there ships, and just didnt care. theyve got bigger aliens to sacrifice. namely the pkunk.

If I were a IIwrath (Which of course I am not so this is just guessing)  Anything I saw weird at the base I would notify the ur-quan for. Probaly just another torture victim for their gods.
I still would think that the IIwrath would come to the conclusion that the Chenjesu and Mmrnmhrm are a real threat! I mean, they have better ships (even the old ones) and can penetrate the slave shield easy.
So as a IIwrath I would see the Chenjesu and Mmrnmhrm as a major threat to their life as well as a chance to prove themselves to their gods.

Chenjesu World couldn't have been without an atmosphere because they evolved their piezo-electric properties into a form of electrical arc (for exciting & bending other piezo electric crystals: tool use). Vaccuum is one of the best resistors of electrical arcs (please correct if wrong, electro-physics was 11 years ago). At least the ship has an atmosphere; you can see the arc, which means it is exciting some medium.
My mistake; just checked: Procyon in SC2 game is indeed a vacuum with -211C temperature. I wonder if the Chenjesu emit their own field of particles that the electrons then excite... they'd be like crystal fountains with Procyon being the source. Injesting crystaline chemicals at their base, and expelling the waste in a cloud/mist around themselves, which they can use to extend electric arcs.
