Spathi? What spathi? You're imagining, hunam.

To say the least, it would be VERY unlikely that the Kzer-za or Kohr-ah, even after a defeat, would be willing to change their beliefs - they've been on this path for over a drahn, which is a long long time. A single defeat isn't going to alter centuries of religion and indoctrination.

Defeat can be cathartic.
Being defeated and treated well could conceivably help.
Still, their social structure of strict hierarchy is not well-oriented towards alliances of equals.
I think they may end up being independent, on speaking terms with the alliance. Not members.
Of course, what happens really depends on what they decide to do about the rest of the universe. What of the Path of Now and Forever? Will it become the Path of Then and Quite a Long Time Thereafter? Will they narrow the path to psychic races? Will they work to ensure that no one race ever has all the force in the galaxy? That could pit them against the Chmmr personally, without having a problem with the other species. Actually, it sounds like a pretty good idea...

And in starcon 3, the precursors turn out to be friggin cows. The phrase "Extensive liberties taken with the cast" applies very heavily to SC3. "Extraordinairly well thought out development" doesn't.

Well, Cows (Ortogs) ARE kind of shaggy giants, if you have really big cows.
Still, on these boards, SC3 is relegated to the same bin as fan-fiction.

I think that the way that the war works out could be a significant factor in the sequel (rather than, say, waiting forty years)

The Ur-Quan might've been dominating, malicious creatures for a long time, but remember, they were slaves before they became slave masters. As for what D_999 said earlier about just psychics, the Kzer-Ah would have to smoke the Pkunk and the Syreen too, in that case. 
Hierarchial Despotism is what the Ur-Quan have lived in for a long time, yes. Perhaps they could keep that, but also be part of the Alliance. Remember, it's the race as a whole that's equal to all others, but all these collective races have their own forms of gov't. It's not like the Alliance dominates their inter-personal gov't systems, just interstellar.

In the end of The Ur-quan Masters the captain destroys the Sa-matra, the symbol of Ur-quan superiority. By destroying their 'great trophy' he pretty much forced a change in their society. I'm not saying the Ur-quan would become allies or anything, but they would likely have a lot of internal conflict because of the loss.
