No matter what, this seems to end in a stalemate with both species completely wiped out. Yes, even the Ilwrath homeworld is clear after the war. Why is that? I don't like the way there's no explanation as to what occured. The way it should happen, there are two outcomes:
* The Thraddash destroy the Ilwrath fleet by a little bit and both species spend the next years recovering.
* The Ilwrath defeat the Thraddash fleet and then perform mass sacrificial rituals on their species. Horrific, yet slightly cool.
Either way, there's absolutely no reason for the Ilwrath homeworld to be cleared out.

1. Sneak Traddash attack.
That's possible, I guess.
2. Religious Zealots torch their own worlds after their fleet is defeated.
And wipe out every member of the species down to the last creepy-crawly? Nah uh.
3. Intervention by third unknown party (To be revealed in UQM 2).
There is no UQM2 planned.
4. Vengeful rogue Pkunks laying the smack down on a unprotected homeworld.
No.
I think that the Ilwrath did the same thing that the Pkunk did. They moved their entire fleet and their population to the new killing grounds. This would have emptied out their home world.
Since the 'Wrath seem to be religious zealots this would almost make sense, especially if they expected the conflict to take a long time.
I like this explanation best, but isn't the Ilwrath homeworld still occupied while the war is going on?

1. Quite possible, the Traddash move a bit faster than the Ilwrath. Also they have more experience doing actual figting (albeit mostly against eachother) than the Ilwrath, who just sacrifice things. [theory] The Ilwrath were probably mostly ordered around by the Quan during the great war, as I doubt the Quan trusted the judgment of religous fanatics enough to allow them tactical combat decisions, whilst the Treaddash have been warfari9ng for a long time and probably have all sorts of nasty battle strategies ready and waiting. [/theory]
2. Well, in a theocracy the priests have the highest power, no? So why don't we think mad zealous fanatical priests + weapons of mass destruction = Oblivion Possibly the Ilwrath have their own version of nuclear weapons, and if the ruling cast felt that the Ilwerath had ailed their gods and needed to becleansed, then.. BOOOM! This also explains why you can still communicate with the Ilwrath through the caster, a few ships were off planet and survived, and those Ilwrath are simply floating around somewhere util their breathing gas runs out.
3.That does not refute my point. Lets say they appear in TimeWarp. Or That TFB planned them for the sequel they never made. ame difference.
4. Yes
5. Dunno, I doubt it. As DJ said, if they don't move for the Pkunk, why'd they move for the Traddash?

5. as in post by Krulle?
Well, even the 'Synth still lived awhile after they found the portal to IDF.
Or 5. as in Zeep-Eeps post?
Both are unlikely. Why would the Ilwrath burn their world when they leave it? Just because?
Okay, for THEM, that would be a good reason.
Maybe it is just different: The few survivors brought back cigars conquered in Thraddash space.
At home, all started to smoke, but forgot that the flamefuel everyone has at home (in case of necessary emergency tortures) are inflameable, and within a few hours, the complete spiders-nest was burnt down, all spiders cumbled in the heat (they smoked next to the fuel tanks - they are as unthinking as the young engineer who invented the Thraddash afterburner).
Enjoy,
Krulle

I know that the Ilwrath are notsmart enogh (they got most of their tech from the Ur-Quan), it has just been another proposal.
Enjoy!

I disagree completely. Christianity served to unite Europe under one banner. Islam made many technological advances... at first. I would say the muslims reached their pinnicle roughly a thousand years ago, then declined and haven't been particularly practical since. I suspect the Church of Dogar and Kazon (or whatever) brought the Ilwrath together and pushed their society forward once upon a time in just the same way.
To be more on topic, why do all of you come up with complecated theories about why the Ilwrath are all extinct and no one will simply agree that it's just a flaw? If they're supposed to be dead, there should be some explanation of it in the game.
4. Vengeful rogue Pkunks laying the smack down on a unprotected homeworld.
No.
Yes.
In all likelihood, Lukipela is just trying to piss me off but I'll respond in spite of (or because of?) this. Every last Pkunk goes over to Yehat space. Since they share spiritual bonds with each other, it's likely that they all think the same way or at the very least they'd know to imprison any raging psychopaths within their species. Pkunk wouldn't separate from each other and they would never commit spontaneous genocide.
