Thinking about this topic made me wonder
about (loosely) equivalent ESU structures -
perhaps the Thugees or the Shaolin? Bald
headed warrior monks who are as deadly with
the assault rifle and grenade launcher as their
ancestors were with the chinese sword and
spear? And secret assassins or other secret
groups from the Indian subcontinent? And
Japan having a resurgence of the Iga or Koga
clans as assassins? Or the Samurai (some
strong suggestion of a cultural resurgence here
in Japanese SG2 figs)? And the North American
Aboriginals might substitute some tribal
groups? (Comanche warriors? Sioux?)
Lots of potential in the GZGverse for revival of
old near-defunct groups (and some non-
defunct ones)! The exodus of many groups
from Earth leaves good room for this. And of
course, these groups would have revived with
some of the old culture and traditions, but
married them to new technology and
capabilities.
An interesting thread, all in all. ;)
