This article is about the proud warrior race. For the Foggy Swamp resident of the same name, see Tho (being).
The Tho are a semi-gelatinous, proud warrior race with a theocratic culture who Azusa Glory described as "one of the most violent races in the known universe".
History[edit | edit source]
By 150,082 CMT, the Tho had formed alliances that had them poised to crush almost any regular opposing forces in their sector of space. With the added firepower of magical weapons supplied to them by the Ethereals,[1] the Tho had been able to encroach on Juraian allies enough for Emperor Azusa Glory to consider them a threat. The Tho sent one of their dignitaries to Jurai to negotiate with their leadership,[2] but Azusa found himself lacking a suitable Juraian negotiator who could keep a hard line in negotiations and not let the Tho "bully the other speakers around". However, that changed when the ZFT diplomat Ulkesh arrived to establish a treaty between the ZFT and Jurai.[1]
Once the ZFT-Jurai treaty had been officiated, Azusa asked Ulkesh if he could help him with a problem because he felt that Ulkesh had what it took to negotiate with the Tho.[3] Ulkesh replied that he would,[4] so Azusa handed him a file filled with information about the Tho and asked him to serve as a mediator between the Tho and Jurai. Azusa clarified that it would be in Ulkesh's interests to do so because the Tho had been encroaching on Juraian allies, which now included the ZFT.[2] Ulkesh agreed to try,[5] so Azusa further briefed him on the Tho's partnership with the Ethereals and lead Ulkesh and his aide Chirox out of the room towards the meeting with the Tho.[1]
