Lifepods are for commercial liners. When warships get destroyed, people die. Unless you plan on having the enemy pick them up and put them in a prisoner of war camp. That might be interesting, and a stroy line noone has used in any of these SE4 stories yet IIRC.

Great story Sachmo, keep it up. I found myself genuinly disapointed when the Peregrine was caught. I was pulling for them to make it home.

POW Camp: I was definately mulling it over, but then I thought about it...in this universe, the wars being fought have so far been proved to be fights for survival. If you plan on wiping an enemy race out completely, it would be a waste of resources to hold on to their troops! Now if Remorhaz were to capture some of the enemy...

Yes, I wanted Peregrine to make it too. I was building up a big story because I thought the Ukra-Tal were going to ignore it...since it wasn't much of a threat. I guess once it approached the wormhole, they didn't want it to escape with any intelligence! Oh, well!
