The current holdings are much smaller, are essentially cut off from the Frost Galaxy due to distance, and their tech level at this point in time is the equivalent of Halo's covenant. They even got out of a nasty civil war that cost them valuable knowledge and countless lives. The only reason why they even managed to get a foothold was because the 2 galaxies got close enough for them to send an exploration and colonial expedition.
A war doesn't change the fact that travelling between galaxies takes a level of technology vastly greater than what the rest of us have, after losing their war they still have the technology to maintain a galacy-spanning empire. The fact you have millions of worlds that can provide resources or reinforcements doesn't help either. Galaxies don't move that fast either.
Quote:If the issue is the Yukigami, they're not invincible. Yes they have a really long life span and they're more durable than normal humans. However, its because of the conditions of their home planet that allowed them their physical traits. They primarily subsist on meat and fauna that is poisonous to humans and their home planet has a higher gravity than Earth. In addition, better eyesight doesn't equal superiority as they only see farther than humans. They can't see UV or infrared radiation, and can be still be outwitted by mirages, flashbangs or any other tactical noisemaker can do considerable damage to their hearing. Even their sense of smell can be used against them by using malodorous objects. They can still be stabbed, shot or even beaten, it just depends on the amount of gravity exerted on them as well as their foes.
My issue with them is that your description basically lists of all the ways they are physiologically superior to humans with no apparent drawbacks.
Quote:If the Yukigami civilization were encountered at their prime I would understand the arguments of being completely unbalanced because they were on the verge of having the technology as the Precursors, but they lost that knowledge in the war and regressed backwards.
The IC encyclopedia entry is still a Work in Progress. I still need to add more stuff and later, edit it to focus on the colonies, but for now I put in the basic information of my people rather than RESERVED
We understand that this is a work in progress, like all of ours. That's why we're giving criticism and feedback.
