Umgah Drones, i guess. The Umgah specialize in bio-technology, but they don't really apply such technology in a Drone.. afterall, its just machinery (from what we see).
Not a very good fighting machine, anyways, but still a machine nonetheless.

Well, they do *shudder* plaster the insides with living tissue. Though I admit, a ship with biological capabilities would be rather interesting. I could imagine some sort of biological equivalent to VUX limpets, Mycon regeneration, or Chenjesu DOGIs... (though the last are mechanical and not biological--they still give off disturbing screams upon obliteration).

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

But they don't EAT sentience, they just don't trust it.

Well, even if we/they feel bad that it HAPPENED, it's a little late to feel sorry FOR it, if you get the distinction.

Yeah, they always made you feel kind of bad about the clan, didn't they...
I always found then Mycon a bit weird as well. I mean, these are people who can barely say one coherent sentence without losing themselves, a race that infrequently recalls programming instructions. in other words, they're a conplete mess. So how come they can make quick decisions in the heat of battle without consulting their ancestral memories?
(Yes i know, there are tons of not so good, good and awesome explanations for this one, but it's one of the things that I found really weird when I started playing the game. How the hell, I said to myself, did these fellas ever manage a gravity whip? they are insane! Perhaps, but insane like a fox...)

Oh yes. I refuse to read those books on the basis that they depress me far too much.
I imagine that once Juffo-Wup floods their bodies, their insanity turns into a benefit. You have to be pretty damn insane to take what's basically the equivalent of a canteloupe into a potentially deadly orbit around a planet.
Sometimes they ARE a complete mess even in combat though, running into their own plasmoids like Talana put it.
Crazy like a fox! Give back our lemon tree!
