  • The other Ur-Quan subspecies is the Kohr-Ah. They also tell their story if you use The Words.
    The Kohr-Ah were voiced by David Bryce.

    A screaming fanatic can be frightening, but the truly terrifying ones are so confident in the absoluteness of their way that they never deign to raise their voices.
    The Kohr-Ah aren't angry that you disagree with them. They are right. You are wrong. There is no discussion to be had.

    Bryce did a fantastic job of bringing personality to the Kohr-Ah. Yeah, they are one of the most terrifying forces ever seen in a game, but dammit... they have reason to be creepy, ample reason. That's the real horror -- they are coldly logical about how things are and relentless in pursuing their logic.

      Dunno about you but I get the remote sense of a tinge of compassion at the end. Perhaps not what we'd classify as 'compassion', but from the standards of someone of the Khor-Ah, I think the genuine desire for the person they're about to purge to understand at least why, is interesting.
      Why would it matter that someone understand why they do this, if they were about to die? Why would the Khor-Ah care at all if the people they killed did or didn't 'take whatever rituals are necessary for their species'? One of the most interesting aspects is how on some level, this isn't something they take joy in, they aren't xenophobic in a particularly hateful way, they just see this as a necessary action for their safety, like putting down an animal.

    • @RonaldRaiden
      @RonaldRaiden 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      They echoed the words of their only friends who the dynarri commanded them to destroy. This made them feel the compassion to at least explain why, but their reasoning to continue cleansing is that the "spores" could be enslaved by the Kzer-za and pose a real threat to their kind. Kind of like a "hey, you guys are cool, but they might turn you against us and we don't believe in slavery so LATER"

    An interesting observation on my part: The Kzer Za did not speak condescendingly about their Khor Ah brothers, other than perhaps referring to them as laborers. Even after the Kzer Za give their explanation for the Path of Now and Forever --> it wasnt even like "man we hate those guys! they suck" but a more methodical and logical approach. The Khor ah, on the other hand... used the terms "Effete" and "bureaucrats." Perhaps it is their combative nature, their innate hostility that compels them to even make a description of their brothers a point of conflict!

    The Kohr-Ah aren't complete monsters, they do want to explain why they do what they do. Without the talking pets, they would be unable to. Sort of a way of saying "Sorry you have to die."

    • @NuniaBiznaz

      Incredibly incredibly late reply, but I personally believe that since the Kohr-Ah believe in reincarnation, they see it as slightly neccessary to talk to those who will eventually become future Ur-Quan once there is no more life left to reincarnate into, but they deem the Dnyarri so vile that their entire species will be allowed to exist solely as non-sapient translators, their souls trapped forever within mindless flesh shells so that their evil, no matter how distanced, may never again mingle amongst the Ur-Quan, as eternal punishment for their sin.

      The Ur-Quan ideologies are based around sacrificing all others for the benefit of oneself... no matter how good the reason, this is wrong.
      When we follow this path, we are the Ur-Quan. But when we work together with others, and sacrifice ourselves for the benefit of others, we are not.
      Humanity as a whole is quite selfish. (I don't exclude myself from this.) But humanity also has the ability to learn and grow... that is another thing the Ur-Quan lack.
      The fact that you asked this question and took a silly little computer game as an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth is proof that we are not Ur-Quan.

    I wonder why the Kohr-Ah haven't cleansed their talking pets. If they're scared enough of others to make it their mission to wipe out any other life in the galaxy, why do they insist on keeping their former slavers alive?

    • @NuniaBiznaz

      The Kohr-Ah believe in reincarnation. They think that once they exterminate all non-Ur-Quan life in the galaxy, every soul will eventually re-incarnate into an Ur-Quan since it would have no other living species to be born as. As such, denying the talking pet's capability to reincarnate into fully sapient, civilized beings living in a supposedly utopian galaxy ruled over and populated solely by fellow ur-quans and instead forcing them to live as immortal sub-sapient translators would be a kind of hell, a sort-of worse-than-death punishment of the Dynarri for the sins they commited against the Ur-Quan. That, and they seem to have some sort of sympathy for the races they exterminate. They see genocide as more of a necessary evil than a thing to take joy in.

    but when you think about it, the way that the green Ur-Quan enslaved races was different than the Dynari's enslavement, rather than turning a race into the slaves the way Europeans did to the Africans, they simply imprisoned and enlisted races, only calling upon them in times of war or preventing them from killing other races or themselves, in a sense, it wasn't enslavement as much as it was vassalage.

      The battle thralls were never enslaved, however those placed under the slave shields certainly were, slave shielded planets had to pay tithe and were permanently sealed away under the Ur-Quan's control.
      Also, when the Ur-Quan leave? From what we can see in SCII, the moment they leave, everyone pretty much drops what they're supposed to be doing and goes right back to trying to kill each other. They're more like inattentive teachers who come in occasionally with a cane and hit some students, expel some others, and leaves again after having a massive fight in the classroom with another teacher.
