Not all Peloran follow the typical path of peacefully living in the forests on worlds far away from other civilizations. Even the most stringent genetic coding breaks down over time, and some people can exercise more control over the coding than others. These people are genetic freaks by the measure of their own people, literally defective since the imperatives of their long-dead Albion creators no longer hold sway. Many of these Peloran have left their homes and taken up positions in the old ships of war abandoned by the Peloran of old. They defend their fellows from above, secure the vast boneyards of old weapons from scavengers, and make certain the Peloran are free to live in the peace they earned. These are the Peloran that most outsiders see when they visit Peloran space.
