Character and weapons design from my teenage years, revisited.

"In the First Galactic War (or so-called "Master's War") 50,000 years ago, the Mu'Tai were the first species to oppose the Galactic Masters, and later formed the backbone of the Jai'Quert forces that eventually overthrew the Masters. They were perhaps to most stubborn, tenacious, determined species ever to exist: never mind their weapons technology was centuries behind their enemies, never mind they were usually grossly outnumbered; wave after wave of Mu'Tai willingly threw themselves into near-suicidal battles without a single inspiring word or prayer. Today, every species in the Galaxy owes the Mu'Tai a debt of gratitude for their sacrifice." (Mar 2008)
