If you ever have questions

[Aralyn Thorn]

Here's a question: as I understood it, Darius' subspecies staged a coup/got put into major political power somehow and is now (as we know of it) in charge of the Darnathi species as a whole, right? That's what started this whole shebang, was his interception of that message and Titan not taking too well to it (or the message). So along comes a second colonization ship, and who is in charge of it? General Tungsten, who clearly at least LOOKS like the same subspecies that Titan was. So the obvious question I'm posing is: why isn't one of Darius' people in charge? I don't deny that certainly the big guys are desirable to have on a colonization expedition (defense, softening up the locals for induction into the Empire under Darnathi bootheels/flippers and so on..) but at least politically, wouldn't they want one of the other model calling the shots?
