Re: Vodoni Aftermath

There are a couple of possibilities that can be utilized by the alliance
to counter the military force of the vodoni.  First, since there are
"thousands" of vessels plying trade, couldn't the alliance pose as
traders and infiltrate systems controlled by the breeders?  Then a
prearranged strike time could be set and take the breeders by surprise
again.  After all, the vodoni are described as human.  Second, I recall
one crystal sphere that vulkaren was keeping at war with itself.  If a
contingent of the alliance goes to each side and tells them of his hand
in their war, that he was purposefully keeping it going and controlling
it, there will be several angry leaders that may want to help the
alliance (and he had his hands full).  This will possibly also counteract
the danger of a new and more powerful force that they were to become upon the
 defeat of vulkaren, and might bring them into the alliance rather than as
 enemies.  Think of them like a controlled fire.  Finally, a vodoni breeder
 could be consulted about the process, or notes could be found.  The alliance
 could create their own version of enforcers, only of neutral or good
alignment.  Weretigers, werebears, and wereboars anyone?  If that
possibility doesn't work out, I remember a creation of the alliance
during the first unhuman war of the bionoids, tall insectlike beings
created out of elves and humans. (6 attacks/rnd, 10HD).  They are found
in the module {Goblin's Return t.m.}.  Finally, the zalani, a peaceful
race similar to gargoyles could be convinced to stop making enforcer
ships and start making them for the alliance; especially if they can be
shown that they will have more freedom and will be able to live peaceful
lives.
