Re: Space Rodents

General note on space rodents in general:

I wrote up a bit on space rodentish aliens years ago, and one piece I
remember that might be worth bringing up is that they don't mind
squeezing
into a very small space with a dozen friends.

This was a nasty surprise for Terran marines who attempted to board
their
ships, as they turned out to hold 3 times as many warm fighting bodies
as a
Terran ship of comparable size.

Not much to do with any GZG product, actually, but at any rate I would
have
mice be prepared to throw away warm bodies (they nurture fast and in
quantity) for tactical gain, and be able to stuff more warm bodies into
a
given volume than other races (an APC carrying 24 soldiers instead of 7,
maybe?).

FWIW.
