Will the Arnor make an appearance in an expansion pack? Maybe the good/neutral races could join with the Arnor against the evil races and the Dread Lords. |
I guess this could happen, but why would you want it to? From what I understand of the history, the Arnor were quite frankly, getting their proverbial hind quarters blasted all over their known universe. I expect the only thing that saved them was researching the ultimate technology and ascendance to godlike status. (remember that little movie in GC1, apply that in principle here.) Fortunately for us they booted the Dread Lords far far away, giving us time to mature from primal ooze so to speak.
Also, somewhere in the back of my mind the reason the Dread Lords hate the humans so much more than everyone else (despite the fact they are suppose to by program) is this:
Fact: Dread Lords kicking Arnorian booty.
Fact: Arnor down to last star system.
Fact: Both cultures disappear.
Rumor: Dread Lords are back.
Assumption: One of the races (probably human) is becoming a threat to the neutrality of the universe. Why is that, because the humans are the direct descendants of the Arnor genetically speaking of course. As the Dread Lords kept smoking system after system, star after star, the last Arnor outpost was in the Sol System, a single yellow primary consisting of 10 planets of which 3 were colonizable. The Dread Lords employed their super weapon Star Destructor from afar not wanting to take any chances on the Arnor rallying with their back against the wall and thought they detonated Sol...
They were wrong, of course. They detonated the 5th planet out. The resultant explosion though created a huge plethora of asteroids and meteors destroying 99.997% of known life in the rest of the solar system.
Millions of years later... along come the humans, no one knows where they come from, however, their biological genetics match the Arnor within 7/10ths of one percent. Coincidence I think not... the Dark Yor (told ya they played a bigger part in this than you would think) send an encrypted hyperwarp message via their one precursor machine they have always maintained as part of their programming to somewhere... than they promptly and unilaterally erase all knowledge of said message and function of said machine.
yadda, yadda, yadda, sniff sniff... along come the Dread Lords to finish up on the sons and daughters of the Arnor.
Just when you thought it was safe to take a katnap under the kitchen table and a bath... its time for Armagedon Part Deux... Galactic Civilization Style.
