quote form a conversation in the comments thread of a poll:

I found the source...it was in Zeb's Guide under the Ifshnit description page:

Quote:
Dorem Dasak, the famous Dralaste philosopher and historian, has named them "The race of the future, they who will inherit!"
 


Kudos to Shadow Shack for finding this obscure reference, I half remembered it when he mentioned it just could not find it.

So heres the thing: obviously this dral sees something in ifshnits that he either admires or that he possibly fears a little- I can see both being a motive for that statement above.

Why would dralasites admire ifshnits as a race or why would a philosopher and historian like Dorem Dasak veiw them as the face of the future, Those that will inherit?

Thoughts?
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Perhaps it is that Doram Dasak sees in the Ifshnits a race most likely to dominate the entire frontier with populations on every world and significant control of the trade and interstellar travel.

And yet in his own quote he does not seem troubled by this thought, he almost seems philosophical about it.

Perhaps he hopes that ifshnits are the answer to rampant mega corp-ism that he hpes they will ultimately be the undoing of the megacorp system and thus he calls them the face of the future.

Dralasites like Ifshnits because both species come in a convenient travel size...
