I just posted this on our Andromeda forum but thought I'd post it here, too. In "All Great Neptune's Ocean" I believe we were told that Volsung Pride had been destroyed [I]about twenty years before[/I]. Volsung was one of Kodiak Pride's allies, and Tyr was visibly upset at Dylan's concluding a treaty with the worlds which had destroyed Volsung Pride. This seems to be about the same time that Kodiak was destroyed by Drago Kazoff and abandoned by the other allies. Did they hold Kodiak Pride responsible for the loss of Volsung Pride? Was Kodiak deemed a failure because it couldn't protect one of its allies? That's just something which makes me go, "Hmm...." The Nietzscheans are all concerned about surviving and passing on their genes. Allying themselves with Kodiak in the wake of Volsung's destruction might be deemed a bad move.
