Arm them with light cannon and heavy machine guns (for 20th/21st C tech) and they can be pretty dangerous. Feeding them is the problem though...

Here's the original: For example, the other day a friend of mine asked me an interesting question. He wanted to know what type of species I would use, if I could magically have one million individuals of that species, as a ground force army. The one stipulation being that my army would have to employ military hardware of today's technology. So you can't use vampires, or episarchs, or Kryptonians, because allowing them makes the question degenerate. Or put it this way--anything can come, but they have to leave their powers with the physics of their home universes. I'm with Damon, it doesn't say anything about the SIZE of the million individuals, at least as long as they can move around on a planet. So bigger is better! Feeding them should not be an issue; one assumes that an army comes with supplies. It could well degenerate into a contest to name bigger species... but I do like the human consciousness in dinosaur bodies things mentioned in Banks's _Feersum Endjinn_, and even in _Kiln People_ there were dittoes of similar sizes.

But in the context of my criteria, the Founders are a little too outlandish (shapeshifting is a little too out there for this scenario). Besides, my picks would be easier to control. You have to factor EVERYTHING into the equation. I guess the Q would be ruled out... A army of veiny-brainy's from The Cage might be able to use their illusions to make any opponents kill themselves, make enemy space fleets dive into the sun, etc. They would certainly merit consideration in a different scenario. Can we count the X-Men mutants as a species? Again, it's a little too out there. Vampires would make a pretty tough army, depending on which universe you pull them from. Yes indeed. I can see it nowGeneral Lestat. A million Jedi would be neato, even without light sabers, particularly if we include the force powers seen in the LucasArts Jedi Knight games. Yeah!! Awesome games.

I don't think that is neccessary, each of the species you suggested as being super-powered has a weekness to them. Vampires are burned by UV light and sunlight, and are vulnerable to garlic, silver, holy icons, etc. Episiarchs (which I thought of suggesting, but changed my mind) are unpredictable and are dangerous to allies without the technology to distract them when you don't want them reaping havoc on the laws of physics (as was mentioned in _Startide Rising_). Kryponians are vulnerable to certain forms of radiation that humans are not vulnerable to. Additionally, Kryponians are only powerful because of the yellow sun of earth if the battle is on a planet other than earth, kryptonians may only be as good as humans, or possibly even worse.

Not necessarily, bigger may just make them bigger targets and would limit the technology that they could use in a battle. They would not be able to use planes (bombers, fighters, etc.), they would be difficult to transport, etc., so they would be at a serious tactical disadvantage.

Less important, but significant, is avoiding increasing entropy by contradicting other sources. Even so, none of the sources can reasonably be understood as listing all the generations under the Thennanin. Herein, I try finish the Thennanin Clan tree. -- Paimin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon ul-Pah ul-Nus ul-Karaton The Paimin are the Thennanin's eldest client species. They are long past their indenture. Paimin were uplifted to help the Thennanin with diplomacy and public relations. -- Pah ab-Paimin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon ul-Girpaimin The Pah were uplifted from solitary stalker/pouncer carnivores resembling the Tiger on Earth. The Pah were uplifted to provide security and intelligence for Paimin diplomatic missions. The Pah also made up much of the Paimin contribution to the Thennanin Clan military forces. Except for select roles, the Pah were mediocre warriors. The Pah are devout Abdicator. -- Girpaimin ab-Pah ab-Paimin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon Girpaimin were uplifted from a avian species that had returned to living on the ground. The flightless proto-Girpaimin had four limbs. The upper limbs had two fingered claws without palms. Proto-Girpaimin lived in large pack sized groups on sub-tropical savannahs eating roots, berries, grain, small animals, and occasionally cooperatively hunting moderate sized prey or stealing ill protected kills. Girpaimin mating rituals involved constructing fairly elaborate bowers. Girpaimin are currently stage three clients. They are being uplifted to replace the Pah in many military capacities. Clan Paimin also uses the Girpaimin in many engineering jobs. Some Girpaimin have already become notable Architects and Arcologists. -- Nus ab-Paimin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon The Nus are mature clients. They were raised to help the Paimin in their primary mission as servitors and protocol experts. Proto-Nus were hexapodal centaurs with three sexes and two castes. One sex was a neuter sex. A productive group consisted of at least six members. With mutch ritual the fishing caste and fruit harvesting caste exchanged food. Now adult, the Nus are seeking a niche in Galactic society. -- Kraraton ab-Paimin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon Stage five clients, the Kraraton are noted poets and dramatists. They have a pronounced sense of humor. -- Rammin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon Fatalistic warriors whose uplift and world-view optimized them for particularly daring professions like fighter pilot. They avoid outside control and keep to themselves. -- Vlught ab-Rammin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon The Vlught are a mature client. The proto-Vlught were avian hunters who resembled Earths raptors. Uplifted Vlught can still fly. They are excellent pilots and were uplifted to relieve the Rammin from many of their obligations to Clan Thennanin. The Vlught are enthusiastic, even fanatical, members of Clan Thennanin. They have a reputation as poor diplomats and merchants. -- Lohtngos ab-Vlught ab-Rammin ab-Thennanin ab-Wortl ab-Kosh ab-Rosh ab-Tothtoon The Lohtngos are second stage clients of the Vlught. Proto-Lohtngos were herd-dwelling, wading browsers and grazers. The proto-Lohtngos lived in sizable herds and had moderately complex social structures. Uplifted Lohtngos work well together, enjoy the company of other species and have a passion for environmental issues. The Vlught hope that the Lohtngos will help alleviate the perceived Vlught deficit in diplomacy. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Well, no..not exactly the same situation. The Garthlings got to choose their patron, as well as their cohorts. Only the cohort(s) for the Rousit. The current Rousit cohort has to be some politically unimportant neutral race, who's willing to go along with whatever the Hoon want to do. That, naturally, would be to turn the Rousit into dour serious little accountant copies of hoons. And I can't see Mudfoot as allowing this to happen. In a perfect fit of rational stubborness, Alvin buys the Uplift Ceremony equipment that was left on Garth. He can afford it. His journal was published on Earth as soon as the Galactic Institutes ruled that no actions would be taken against any race or person involved with what took place on Jijo. And because of the Tandu... er...um., actions, an Uplift Ceremony would be a good distraction. (He got his first unexpected royalty check the day after his well known one year on Hurmuphta journal entry..) There are 42 Hoon home or colony planets. Alvin was having daily visits from just the population of Hurumphta. So.. ...better than Bill Gates, shall we say. The Rousit, not being insane, choose the Tymbrimi instead of the Tytlal as their new stage one cohorts. Also the Forski, for their first true joke. (They heard the musical duel between a hoon actor and a Forski.) The joke is on the Soro. By law they can't accompany the Forski to the Rousit homeworld, Arilarah, and the Forski just can't keep secrets when not subdued by the Soro. ---all somewhat approved by our good Dr. Brin. The timing for all of this is years away from the present. Both real and in the Uplift Universe. The time for all of this is right when the last members of the skiff crew are being found, or are coming out of hiding. As for what the stage one Rousit can and can't do... I don't see them talking yet--they're still too small. But many can see tytlal glyphs on a level better than a Jijo hoonish sage. Note: all Rousit on Hurumphta are the 'rejects' to the Hoon breeding program. They're trying to breed out their sense of humor. And I don't think I'm being very original.
