Kohr-Ah: We evolved on a hostile world, the descendants of solitary hunters.
Kohr-Ah: In a world where one species is the dominant killer
Kohr-Ah: one's only threat is one's brother, one's sister, anyone of one's species.
Kohr-Ah: Civilization did not come easily to us, we earned it.
Kohr-Ah: We mastered our hatreds and murderous desires to form a mighty culture.
Kohr-Ah: In those ancient days, there was no Kohr-Ah or Kzer-Za, only the Ur-Quan.
Kohr-Ah: We explored our world, and then the space beyond.
Kohr-Ah: Here we met the six races of the Sentient Milieu
Kohr-Ah: here we met the Taalo... the only species we ever called `friend'.
Kohr-Ah: Our association with the Taalo and the Milieu lasted for three thousand years.
Kohr-Ah: We, the Ur-Quan who could not tolerate the presence of others
Kohr-Ah: became the Milieu's scouts, their solitary explorers.
Captain: Who were the Taalo?
Kohr-Ah: Of all the species we have met, only the Taalo did not trigger our instinctive territoriality.
Kohr-Ah: They were the only people we could stand with, or talk to, without the hunter inside us screaming
Kohr-Ah: `Kill the interloper! Rip out its life!'
