Star Legation: Alien Languages (part 3)


I decided that it made the most sense for the Krissethi to learn Universal very willingly, mostly because of their competitive nature. Though they were not engaged in trade with the other races, they certainly saw the potential for it, and have been teaching Universal in their schools for over a generation. The Omul pass their knowledge on differently than a school system, however, so their grasp of Universal varies according to their parent Omuls. The Chiraktis are uninterested in other cultures because they believe their own to be superior, but the Queen learned it first and then instructed several selected workers to learn it as well, keeping the rest of the hive in the dark to maintain control over their exposure to other cultures. All of this means that these three different alien cultures involve varying amounts of their own language to be present in The Star Legation game. The protagonist, Trey, and the others with him will meet with the challenge of conversations with aliens that don't speak Universal well, or at all.
