So Pulonis has won their independence. Good for them. It's about time, but it seems like something that would've been a result of diplomatic, cultural, and economic efforts by the Pact Worlds and other interstellar powers as part of the Veskarium "maturing" into a more enlightened culture... And less of a massive regime based on conquest and slave labor... As opposed to independence won in a successful martial planet wide revolt followed by immediate recognition by the Pact Worlds government, all off camera.
I'm glad that the usually slow Pact Worlds petition system made the ethically responsible choice, but it was an astonishingly risky decision. Officially recognizing not just a Veskarium world, but one smack dab in the middle of the Vesk home system, as a pact world could very easily end the PW/Vesk alliance for good and resulted in full scale Veskarium retaliatory invasion.
But fortunately that didn't happen. Also, I'm hoping that eventual "Long and Noodle-y Pathra" Ancestry trait will be available at some point, representing the weird low gravity world proportions of the SF1 Pathra illustrations. Especially the one with the microphone in Interstellar Species. Lol
