Name that alien species
I hope someone with a better memory than me (or who has read SR and UW more recently) can help me out. I'm trying to remember the name and characteristics of an alien species that, I think, was in either Startide Rising or Uplift War. I think it was a client-species being led around by a patron species. Possibly in SR, when Orley was hiding in the swamp and the aliens were searching the area. I think the alien species had some power to alter reality or time-space or something like that. Anyone remember this? ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I do remember the Cole Porter song line: There's a plan to the Tandu that can do you in. Vilyehm **Get the Moviefone Toolbar.

Re: Name that alien species
Wik: Episiarchs Episiarchs are shaggy quadrupeds that have the ability to temporarily alter reality by force of will, and are used to open short-lived portals that allow Tandu ships to travel instantly to distant parts of the universe, giving them nearly unmatched strategic speed. They have other military (and possibly civilian) uses as well, although these are not elaborated on very much. In _Startide Rising_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startide_Rising) an Episiarch is used to create a temporary dry pathway on waterlogged land so that a party of Tandu infantry may move more easily. **Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
