I would theorize that with already-occurring selective thinning of their respective populace, it should be possible, given the right nudge here and there, to in essence 'domesticate' the Serco and the portion of the Itani race that call themselves the 'Akanese.'

Consider the following:
With each generation of Serco, the most aggressive ones go off to attack the Itani, and their number are substantially thinned by encounters with the Akanese. If this behavior is encouraged, aggressiveness, being a hereditary trait, may begin to die out after the third or fourth generation from now. Meanwhile, the Akanese are limited in number, and frequently lose substantial numbers of their society in their attacks on the Serco. If balanced correctly, over time, both societies may deplete their supply of aggressive members, and the UIT may be able to form them (with the help of some political influence in the Serco ruling body) into a more controllable society, advanced well beyond the level their society's current embryonic state.

<P.S. DISCLAIMER: No, I am not being serious>

Why do you think we UIT like to egg them on in every one of them silly smack-talk threads?

If we just cloned more Borbs and had them go into Akanese and Serco council chambers with bombs strapped to their chests, that would be an effective way of trimming the herd as well...

what if the Akanese and aggressive Serco met...and mated instead?

Next theory please.

Haha. That might work, but I think the Akanese are wise to people that look like Borb now...

I think we'd end up with a hyper-aggressive sub-species that hated itself, resulting in the subsequent extinction of the subspecies as well as perhaps the Serco and Akanese. Bad idea.

heh, funny

Someone's been reading a bit too much Niven...

I donno blowing my self up kinda hurt's, I'm all for just killing one another off in the normal shooty shooty ways.

MSKanaka says : I think the Akanese are wise to people that look like Borb now...

I doubt it.

With every loss... we gain more followers...

Yeah, the moronic kind of follower who thinks it's OK to blow himself up if he takes a Serco with him.

Kinda like the followers of Osama Bin Laden. This is the new Jihad! ALALALALALAA

Hrm. So, Akanese are sorta like self-cooking/tenderizing meals?

Aye, now if only we could also get them to deliver themselves to your doorstep, you'd be set, Lecter.

Once, of course, you finish your Itani Vacation (TM).
