Edited by Ferro Ignis 538: 2/21/2014 5:11:25 PMWhat if the different planets had different Bio-engineering technology, and were activated shortly after the Traveler entered the Sol System? There might be another alien race out there, pulling the strings on the Fallen, Hive, and Cabal. The Vex could be the sleeper agents of {[i]Mystery Aliens name here[/i]}, or they could be like the Cylons (hesitation on Skynet getting pregnant part) [quote]"after coming off of a week-long bender with some hard-partying Cylons, Skynet got pregnant & had the brilliant idea of making a bunch of babies with triceratops heads." -DJenser Feb 18 at 10:39:34 AM Permalink [/quote] An even better example would be the Geth from Mass Effect 3. The Fallen and Hive resemble Human anatomy pretty closely (Bio-engineering on the arms, since the lower caste of the fallen only have two arms, yet they have armor similar to the Guardians). I don't know about the Cabal, though... They got me on that one.

Not sure about the Fallen. I'd hesitate to say they were inspired by the Sangheili because they are a pale shadow, comparatively speaking. I would say the Hive came from their original fantasy concept of an undead army, which they then adapted to a Sci-Fi environment. For the Cabal, I cooked up a [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XXX-AP9eMvU/Uh5Mje7vB-I/AAAAAAAAAJU/cU_uJlGdSyg/s1600/cabalorigin.jpg]visual aid[/url] a while back to illustrate my theory. As for the Vex I'd say that, after coming off of a week-long bender with some hard-partying Cylons, Skynet got pregnant & had the brilliant idea of making a bunch of babies with triceratops heads.

Their -blam!-ing brains

The Fallen are pirates, while the Elites were a Sparta-esque society of honorable warriors. The Cabal are a very organized and professional (for lack of a better word) military, while the Brutes were of a clan-based society.

By the Aliens themselves!?!

The vex look a bit like the Tao from 40k

Usually it involves a page full of black silhouettes featuring random shapes from artists or napkins.
