And the good that will do, volus are simply physically unable to fight. I can maybe understand a few volus going into battle out of sheer desperation but having them join a team of elite soldiers through high profile missions? It simply doesn't make any sense. Literally any race already available would be infinitely better in combat than the volus. Some people have been saying "well you can put them in something like mech suits" and I say "What's the point?" You're wasting all these resources to make the combat-inept volus evenly matched with a deadly enemy. Why can't it be diverted to those that actually CAN fight so they can improve their skill?
