OK guys, BB is about to capture one and take it to the Starr for study. (Fun science stuff and Dev for codex sub)
The questions I have here is what is he going to find. From the concensus on the thread this is a "Alien" like creature, that takes hosts, implants them with larva, that grow, take genetic and cultural things from their hosts, then hatches, killing the host and the fun begins.

Can I assume this is correct or do we want to go another way?

I don't want to run over anyone's ideas when I explore this.

I think the context is that the Qektoth/alchemists are making a few things, so don't worry about stepping on toes.

*whispers* I did make some Rebel tags in the Art Section that you guys can use, unless you want something more customized to the faction.

Jon has it, BB go nuts! I'm working on Julius fighting a minor Tyranud like strain. And putting some feelers out fir a hunt thread/campaign on it.

 

[Veino Garn]

Wow. I leave for a month and y'all come up with all sorts of fun stuff. Exciting! Maybe I should do that more often.

Hmmn. Well, if we're looking for a sort of esthetic to these NPC big-baddies, specifically the Q-Confederacy, and we want something that's a combination of anthropomorphic values with just enough firepower to be deadly, I might have some images to contribute.

Wow I'm seeing a whole new big bad we are going to need to add. :laugh:

 

[Seydon of Arda]

Admittedly, I did misread what the Qektoth Confederation was, before I posted those. ^^; The images may not fit the sort of quasi bio-organic tech-masters that have been discussed. But I do love the idea of them being a foil for the Outback. Alongside these Tyranid/Xenomorph characters.

If anyone has the time to read through [member="Alec Rekali"] thread here there are some absolute gems we can use to establish the NPC group.

Already the Qektoth are cautious of outsiders having already been passively hostile to Rekali and her expedition. At the time it was mentioned they were in a dangerous interior state of rebuild after the Moross Crusade, however several years would have passed since this and they could very well have reestablished power which they see as their way to land grab the rest of the Kathol Outback.

I think in terms of where we need to go with the Qektoth a thread of an attack on a settlement somewhere within the area on the local Uukaablian population should happen. No direct link to the Qektoth but definite suspicion.

[member="Kira Vaal"] - That's a good idea for a plot arc. I like it. A lot. The U's and Q's shouldn't be getting along. As well, Julius/Glavo has a partially finished thread for ideas, and I should be posting more of it this upcoming week.

Now, the biggest thing we need to focus on is Kal Shebbol. As a faction, we want that planet dominioned first, so we control entrance into and out of the rift. Even with how we are running, having a strong presence there is key. Thread will be incoming on that shortly.
