I thought that the shofixti voted on using the bomb in their own system. If that is true, than more than half must be ready to use a glory device. (And I don't think more than half of the population is in their military)

I believe they were feudel before being introduced to technology, so your assumtion seems quite good. Do you think they had one ruler for the entire race, or were they divided.

Don't think that those nuclear gunboats wouldn't have what it takes to hit the big red button.
Consider the actions off Samar during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
3 American destroyers charged 4 battleships, 8 cruisers, and around a dozen destroyers. I posit that this basically amounted to a suicide attack (one of the destroyers did make it out, with heavy damage).
And of course later in the day, the first Kamikazes were sent.
All participants were human.

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep.

What I think, and this is purely speculation of course, is that they had some sort of feudal system, an empire of sorts with one strong leader, surrounded by lots of cermony. Possibly the political nd spiritual leader was the same, like in Japan.
Considering Japan and the and my extended knowledge of their culture (Hollywood style, at least  ) I'd say the Shofixiti have many similarities. Also, since the Shofixti were the Yehat's 'children', they probably were influenced by their culture, including the monarchist features.

In love with a Shofixti, I think!

Since some parralels between the Mideast and Starcon have been drawn, I will draw a different angle...........
Mycon.
Unfortunatly, the way many of these Arabs...and for that matter the more fundamentalist Jews....are brought up....they are taught that...
a)things must always be done the way of their parents' parents' parents' parents' .......
b)The enemy is in the way, negotiating is wrong
c)That far beyond culture, what must be maintained are the "family honor" (TM) and "purity" (TM) and "Glory" (TM)....so they'll tell their children that their people are always right, even if they bend the rules that their culture supposedly teaches, they'll tell their children to only marry others of their own type, and that the highest honor is to die in battle...to stop fighting would be an insult to...well...the wishes of their parents' parents' parents' parents'......
Basically, they have a "Juffo-Wup" they want maintained at all costs. And what do the fanatics do to poor illiterate villagers? They brainwash them, or basically, "infuse" the "Juffo-Wup" into them. Of course, the signal-to-noise ratio has gotten extremly low. To a point where they don't care about what they do, nor do they know why things are that way.....but the fundamentalists want to preserve the Juffo-Wup....which they do by warping the scriptures (Koran in case of Islamic fundamentalists, Talmud in case of the extremist Jews)
So even if some resort to the level of Shofixti, in essense they are thinking like Mycon. Think about it.

If only both sides were as militarily ineffective as the Mycon.
