There is an old saying about bold warriors making horrible soldiers. The Peloran are actually one very good example of that. Both male and females are born to fight, with genetic imperatives built into their reactions to do so in the most aggressive and deadly ways. The Albion lost control of one Peloran generation after another as they entered puberty. They were courageous, fearless, and completely unable to function in any normal society. They constantly fought each other over positions of dominance until the Albion despaired of ever succeeding in their mission of creating controllable super soldiers.
