Yeah, I'll make it more explicit rather than implied about that kinda stuff. I kinda wanna stick with it, tho, just cause it's more interesting IMHO - but thanks for the advice.
It is probably already extremely rare for them to use other sentients, let alone space-faring ones. Likely reserved as a form of “capital punishment” for other sentient, non-Thymyri species that live on one of their Hive Worlds as citizen-workers. I'll likely make this more explicit as well.
Much appreciated. I'm perfectly fine if they are strictly parasitic, and I'm fine with it being used as a form of capital punishment. The Federation may not like it (considering I seem them as the type to have abolished Capital Punishment), but I don't see that alone being justification for anything involving them. I could see the Andromedian powers latching on to that as a casus belli, but that's not a problem for them at present.
For a close relationship with the Federation, parasitism of sentients would be a no-no.
