Flaxens

Domination

Flaxen forces occupy the Americas and open African and Asian fronts. They forbid sexual relationships with humans, operate labor camps, and murder captives considered unfit for work. Serilda Corazon is one of the people of mixed human and Flaxen ancestry persecuted under this system.[1][3][4][5]

Appearance and identity

The first arrivals appear as giants with pale yellow skin, unusually broad shoulders, and wide, deep-yellow eyes. Their shoulders are described as half again as broad as an average human's. They proclaim that greater size and strength establish a right to rule Earth.[5]

Arrival and deception

The Flaxens gain permission to settle in Canada by claiming Venus's solar protection is failing. Forrender later reports that this crisis was fabricated and that the Flaxens openly acknowledged the deception once their war was succeeding.[5]

Emotions and identity

Serilda described the Flaxens as Human despite their appearance and their claims of superiority. She emphasized the intensity of their emotions, including their capacity for joy and love as well as hatred. In her account, pride and competition to appear cruel reinforced their collective behavior. Her father's change and the dissenters who sheltered Megan demonstrated that opposition existed within Flaxen society.[6][8][12]

Military and extermination

Flaxen forces used aircraft, tanks, automatic weapons, space transports, and small missile-armed warships. Their death chambers killed captive Humans while slave labor supported the war economy. Brookes's hawks provided a major technological advantage after Echo's initial intervention disrupted their bases and weapons program.[7][8][9][11][12]
