-Make my race as stated before. Use the Inspace to perfect experiments until goal is attained.

-Put 144 000 of them in small groups all over the world, preferably in lands empty of already sentient species. They must be adults with implanted knowledge.

-Let the two races compete for ten thousand years.

I say we have several classes:

The Lowest the sub-sentient drones who are psionically  maluable may not be strictly for combat


Above that we should have the controller class who are fully sentient and almost our equals

Then us

Our introduction plan is to let them multiply and use our guides to influence their culture

The idea behind my caste system is if one of the two rebel we can get rid of them.

If the drones rebel we kill the mid controller and pretend all along we were on their side, then we work on the solution to the drones.

If the controllers rebel give the drones free-will. At worst 3-way war. At best we will be worshiped by the drones.

The drones should be muscular, heavily armored in scales, psionically and cybernetically malleable, and sub-sentient. Maybe 300-400 pounds. Have redundant organ and nervous systems. They should be capable of limited sub-sentient decision making based on their psionic imprints.

The controllers one the other hand are fully sentient and their should be several types also malleable too:

The knowledgeable scientist. Like humans brains should be the main organ, they also should imprint the drones. They can be weaker but still have redundant organ systems. Mammalian scientist. 150-200 pounds

The combat leaders and psionic users: Armored and cybernetically malleable. 200-300 pounds. Say it with me now redundant organ systems.

Finally the domestic leaders who control drones in the back-lines redundant organ system mammals 150-200 pounds. Administrators.

I dislike the caste system. Why? easy. We want a warrior caste. Nothing more. And I think it's better to try to prevent rebellion in the first place than to prepare how to deal with it when it happen.

How to deal with the rebellion problem? You're saying "if it happen we'll do this or that". It will not happen. That's how we should work.

I am trying, and armok as well, to make the Protector biologically unable to rebel. This is the way. (methinks)


Strong people tend to solve all their problem with force. And inevitably they find someone stronger and get killed. Same with psionics. At some point their only solution will find itself useless and they die.

Cleverness is the way. Celverness is not the solution, it is finding solutions. That's why it's efficient against everything. The only way to get truly beaten is when you don't find solution quick enough. Either because you got crushed too fast or because the ennemy is finding solutions quicker than you.


Caste system is a cage. we want no frontier to our warriors' way. Only a goal: protect.


I'm fine with having a three-or-more species contest.

The caste system is more of a way to maintain some autonomy on both sides.

Making a dedicated warrior race is great for if we want to hand hold but if we want to have a race which doesn't really bother us, which is the impression I got they need to be independent, because if we did want to hand hold build drones or if we want them to be autonomous just create combat von Neumanns.

no need for castes. Is there castes for humans? castes in the zerg sense? No. Did it prevented us to be independent? no.

Caste system WILL become obsolet when we'll recruit them. We probably have automated everything and all they'll have to do is to fight.
