Arnami live and breathe under water.  They grow up knowing that the world is made of three dimensions.  Swimming up and down is as natural as going left or right.  That actually makes them very good special navigators.  And they are some of the best fighter pilots I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.  I personally think they’re one of the reasons the Shang haven’t come back since The War.  Yeah.  They’re that good.

One surprise to many scientists was the discovery of habitable worlds around nearby giant star systems.  A giant star is formed when a normal star like our own sun reaches the end of its life cycle and expands, usually eating the life bearing worlds like Earth in the process.  Scientists thought that giant star systems would simply be lifeless.  They were wrong.  Many of our richest colonies are on living worlds in them.  Scientists still can’t explain it.

The Mayan rebellion in the Yucatan, and the twin Rio Grande and Texas rebellions in the north nearly destroyed Santa Anna’s Mexico.  It took Mexico over fifty years to retake the Yucatan, and small rebellions continued for another three decades after that.  The Rio Grande rebellion ended far easier.  Santa Anna offered their general a position in the Mexican army and he accepted.  The rebellion of Texas succeeded though when Santa Anna himself was captured in battle.

The Arnami are like the Peloran in many ways.  Of course, they were both created by the Albion so they should be.  The Arnami don’t age for one.  They heal from any wound that doesn’t kill them.  They never get sick.  And they have lightning reflexes.  They’re genetically engineered super soldiers, though they were designed to fight underwater.  And like the Peloran, they crave nothing but peace at a genetic level.  They’re just plain nice people.

There’s one thing that the galaxy has shown humanity.  Life’s resilient.  Individual life forms die, but life in all its myriad ways continues.  No matter how harsh a world is, you will find life of some kind there.  You see, it is the natural tendency of life to spread out, to grow.  It adapts, it changes, and it survives, in even the harshest of all locations.  Often it is simply hard to recognize.
