Vodan And Others

In the previous post, I should also have mentioned Vodan of Stormgate Choth, commander of Three Stars, an Avalonian torpedo launcher, similar to a Terran Meteor but bigger because Ythrians do not wear spacesuits and need to spread their wings. A bigger craft can be better armed.

Three Stars disables Hooting Star, killing Wa Chaou. Rochefort surrenders but friendly fire from Avalon destroys Three Stars, killing Vodan and his crew of four. Rochefort crash lands Hooting Star on Avalon where Draun kills Helu.

Casualties Known To Us In This Exchange:

Vodan and his crew
Ferune and his staff, also caught in crossfire
Rochefort's crew of two

With the death of Ferune, Second Marchwarden Daniel Holm becomes First Marchwarden and another Ythrian becomes Wyvan of Mistwood. Rochefort escapes from Avalon, carrying misleading military intelligence to Admiral Cajal. 

A vast cast of characters interacts exactly as their creator directs.

Kaor, Paul!

That inability of Ythrians to wear space suits/armor must have been one factor delaying and hindering them from leaving Ythri. To say nothing of how any kind of serious damage to their ships mortally endangers Ythrian crews. They could not even leave space ships to carry out inspections and make repairs.
