Welcome to the new COTI server. We've moved the Citizens to a new server. Please let us know in the COTI Website issue forum if you find any problems.
We, the systems administration staff, apologize for this unexpected outage of the boards. We have resolved the root cause of the problem and there should be no further disruptions.
Bad answer. Pentapods are organic, as it most of their technology. Some critical components are non-organic (radio antennas ), and they do have a limited mechanical tech-base, but they prefer soft and squishy. The major exception here is the "mechanical displacement organ" (stutterwarp) whcih they devleoped and created over a 500-600 year period. And even then, it was largely a fluke, like discovering fusion in the Renaissance.
Pentapods largely view themselves as machines, as devices that can be replaced repaired, and upgraded.
Ebers are definitely a strange bunch, especially if you realize that humans only know about "Feral" ebers.
I wish I had all my old Dave Nielson emails where we discussed the Ebers and their history/homeworld.
Basically, prewar ebers discovered cybernetic implants that allowed them to quickly change nodes in the brain (per Dave).
The ebers we know dont have a clue.
I think Dave described the Eber homeworld as a cross between Twilight2000/Aliens. Burned out Civ, few pockets of high tech, and lots of roaming bio weapons.
