Re: [GZG] A planetary assault as a wargames campaign - Kra'Vak

Have we any new information about what the Kra'Vak are motivated by?

In classic 1950's science fiction, the basic motives for being contacted (or attacked) by aliens are, according to Solomon Golumb:

	* Help!
	* Buy!
	* Convert!
	* Vacate!
	* Negotiate!
	* Work!
	* Discuss!

	Sir Arthur C. Clarke notes that the nasty little short story by Damon
	Knight adds an eighth motive: Serve! (fried or roasted)
