The closest thing to this would be a misinterpretation
of the (badly) worded deathspider entry (p 42, 2nd
column, paragraphs 2&3).  Boiled down, it says that a
crew of 30 slaves, 8 neogi, & 8 umber hulks use as
much air as a 34-man crew.  What it REALLY was trying
to say is that neogi breath less air, and umber hulks
breathe more, but combined, its a wash.  So thus, it
really should have read that they use as much air as a
46-man crew, not a 34-man crew.
