Could this be the face of our oldest enemy? |
We do know that the Kr'thak are a nomadic race, is it possible they visited Earth in their travels before? Influencing early human development maybe even establishing secret societies that still conduct their operations today. If this were the case, it would only make sense that the societies would contact their founding partners and work with them. The combined force of the UEE and the Xi'an Empire could easily crush any power in the galaxy, why haven't we went ships to help the Xi'an? Maybe our "masters" don't want any harm to come to their friends.
An even more terrifying thought, the Xi'an don't give anything away. They're as wary with favours as the most stringent Banu trader is with his wares. One can only assume that when they sent in elite commando squads to sabotage Messer, they had their own reasons for doing so. Maybe this wasn't a preemptive strike against humanity, maybe this was just a continuation of the Spirit wars. We have very little information on Messer's early life, could it be that he was a Kr'thak agent? Planet to turn humanity against the Xi'an and finally end the Spirit wars with a brutal Kr'thak/Human victory? If so, what would become of us after we had served our purpose? Are the Kr'thak above slavery of an entire species? We just don't know.
