I don't think "empire" ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I don't think "empire" is necessarily a concept only humans can have. I think other races are likely to have concepts similar to some of ours. So, yes, the Baburites almost certainly were thinking of bluejack as more than simply a useful or convenient plant.<br /><br />Your comments about Sphinx reminded me of Flandry's remarks in THE REBEL WORLDS about how many and wildly diverse races the Empire contained. Perhaps Sphinx was inhabited by one of the "hive" races Flandry mentioned? <br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
