Talk:Rachni

The "trivia" section needs cleaning up, especially the part about Arachnids. I can see many spelling errors, and the meaning isn't clear the way it has been worded. There are some grammatical errors as well. 65.188.241.8 23:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

The Queen leaving...
How is she supposed to escape Noveria? Obviously no one is going to volunteer to give her a ride.
 * I wondered about that too -- Ventralis says that the cold kills rachni soldiers -- but then again, remember the rachni queens lived on planets with extremely hazardous environments during the Rachni Wars, that's why the Council couldn't negotiate with them. I suppose she's planning to live out there, so I imagine Binary Helix will be leaving Noveria in a big hurry. --Tullis 15:56, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Type of Ship
I know this may seem like I'm quibbling over semantics, but after all, the devil is in the details: Was it ever stated that the rachni queen egg was found on a warship? All I remember was Yaroslev Tartakovsky saying the egg was found on a ship. SpartHawg948 21:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't remember his exact phrase, but Han Olar talks about it too, though he only mentions it was "waiting since the last battles" so he could have been talking about the queen's egg or the ship. --Tullis 22:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I just played through Noveria and no he doesn't say warship he says "ship". 83.183.219.250 03:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia
whoever cleaned up the trivia need to distinguish a little more between "cleaning" and "carpet-bombing back to the stone-age", there's nothing left and it's all pressed into a block of text that's badly formatted. 83.183.219.250 05:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I dunno, I think the trivia cleanup was spot on, and the formatting looks good to me. If you have any suggestions though, this is the place for them. SpartHawg948 09:15, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm starting to clamp down on trivia because every similarity - however tenuous - from every other franchise is creeping into trivia sections. This was intended to merge those similarities into one, with the most likely similarity left alone (the Arachnids). But yes, if you have formatting suggestions, please tell us. --Tullis 12:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

That "rachni" is part of "Arachnid" is more a reference to the insect class http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid than to Starship Troopers.
