Primitives for proportions?

[geoschmo]

I think making the primitives be able to defend themselves is really not something a lot of effort should be spent on. How much of a fight would even we be able to put up against an alien attack on par with Se4 races. Much less so a pre-industrial or a pre-agrarian primitive race. It would not be any contest. My view of the primitives is adding another "resource" for the space faring empires to take advantage of. The question won't be who can kill the primitives, but who can make the best use of them in their empire.
