-This is a list of mysteries that are still open at the end of [[Star Control II]].
+{{starstub}}
-=Major mysteries=
-Mysteries referenced by more than two [[canon]] sources.
-===What happened to the [[Precursors]]?===
-From the [[Slylandro]]:
-:Joyous Lifting, who has a better memory than I recalls that the Shaggy Ones were described as being... worried.
-:They were always hurrying from place to place, seeking knowledge as though they were in a desperate search for some important secret some answer to a question that they never shared with us.
-:Sullen Plummet remembers that the last time the Shaggy Ones visited our world they came aboard a great circular starship, one even larger than your own.
-:They had discovered their Answer and were leaving to go somewhere and they didn't tell us exactly where 'somewhere' was.
-From the #StarControl Efnet IRC chat of 1998-10-18 (Fwiffo is both [[Paul Reiche III|Paul]] and [[Fred Ford|Fred]] here):
-:<Fwiffo> In our rambling thoughts about SC3 we did seriously consider having the [[Orz]] assume a much larger and more ominous role, opposed to the return of the [[Precursors]].
-=====What is the purpose of the [[Rainbow World]]s?=====
-From the [[Slylandro]]:
-:We were told the planets were... again this is confusing... organized (?) in some pattern which in some way alluded to the Shaggy Ones' ultimate fate.
-===Who are [[They|They/Them]]?===
-=====What happened to the [[Androsynth]]? Are any still alive?=====
-From the #StarControl Efnet IRC chat of 1998-10-18 (Fwiffo is both [[Paul Reiche III|Paul]] and [[Fred Ford|Fred]] here):
-<LordR-man> Fwiffo- What really happened to the Androsynth in sc2?
-<Fwiffo> In regards to the Androsynth: They were snagged by the entity who/which projected its fingers into our dimension (which looked to us as the Orz.)
-From a fan email with Fred Ford:
-:> Were ALL the Androsynth destroyed when the [[Orz]] came?
-:Perceptive lad. This was a leading plot candidate for our theoretical sequel.
-=Lore mysteries=
-Minor mysteries with an eventual impact on the plot.
-===[[Arilou]]===
-=====What are the [[Arilou]]'s motives for messing with [[humans]]?=====
-=====Were the Humans and the [[Syreen]] the same species initially?=====
-Were the Syreen some sort of control group for the Arilou experiments on the human race?
-=====Did the [[Arilou]] interfere in the development of other races besides the [[Humans]]?=====
-Commander [[Hayes]] mentions that the Arilou intimated that they "had some fun" with "an alien race in Draconis" (the [[Thraddash]]).
-=====Who or what are the [[Nnngn]] that the [[Arilou]] are chasing?=====
-===[[Orz]]===
-=====Do the Orz have a special purpose for the [[Humans]], as the [[Arilou]] have?=====
-From the #StarControl Efnet IRC chat of 1998-10-18 (Fwiffo is both [[Paul Reiche III|Paul]] and [[Fred Ford|Fred]] here):
-:<Mephisto_> Fwiffo: What exactly did the Arilou *quickbabies* do to piss off the Orz so much?
-:<Fwiffo> The Arilou always *jumped in front*, which was both a physical taunt as well as a political one. They got to the humans first.
-=====Where did the [[Orz]] come from?=====
-They name their dimension "[[*below*]]", so it apparently has a lower [[reality phase]] than [[HyperSpace]] and [[TrueSpace]], but how exactly is it like and why did the Orz leave it?
-=====What is the history of the [[Arilou]] with the [[Orz]]?=====
-=====Are there still [[Taalo]] alive?=====
-From the #StarControl Efnet IRC chat of 1998-10-18 (Fwiffo is both [[Paul Reiche III|Paul]] and [[Fred Ford|Fred]] here):
-:<_Stilgar> <che`z`puf> Are the Taalo really dead, and when the [[Pkunk]] spoke of rocks that were awakened, did they mean the Taaolo?
-:<Fwiffo> The Taalo LIVE!
-===Post-SC2===
-=====How were the alien societies affected by the fall of the [[Ur-Quan]]?=====
-*The [[Battle Thralls]]
-*The [[Fallow Slave]]s
-*Other races
-=====How will the Ultron change the [[Druuge]]?=====
-How did it change the Supox?
-=====What happened to the [[Talking Pet|neo-Dnyarri]]?=====
-Did he survive as it is said in the out-takes?
-=====Is the [[Ultron]] still in working order?=====
-Are the events in the outtakes with respect to the Ultron to be taken seriously?
-=====How did [[The Captain]] find the Mark II?=====
-How did he use it?
-=====What does the rest of the galaxy look like?=====
-===Pre-SC2===
-=====Who created the [[Mother Ark]] that built the [[Mmrnmhrm]] and with what purpose?=====
-=====How did the Pkunk and the [[Yehat]] get separated?=====
-===Trivial===
-=====What does the face of an [[Utwig]] look like?=====
-=====What is the relevance of ground warfare in the Star Control Universe?=====
-What ground weaponry is used by the various alien races?
-===Additional===
-=====Who are the [[Keel-Verezy]]?=====
-=====Does the [[Black Spathi Squadron]] really exist?=====
-=====Why did the [[Melnorme]]'s bridge turn purple?=====
-The Melnorme offer to tell you this piece of information for 120,000 credits (on the PC version) or 12,000,000 credits (on the [[3DO]] version and [[UQM]]), but it is impossible to gather this many credits, and their conversation tree doesn't include a response for this.
-From the #StarControl Efnet IRC chat of 1998-10-18 (Fwiffo is both [[Paul Reiche III|Paul]] and [[Fred Ford|Fred]] here):
-:"<Fwiffo> I promise here and now, that in our next SC project, we'll answer that Purple Bridge question to your ultimate satisfaction."
-=====How can [[slave shield]]s be shut down?=====
-Can they decay, as it may have happened with the Faz's planet?<br>How did the [[Chmmr]] shut down the slave shield from withing?
-Note that one method of cracking slave shields is known: in the ending video of the 3DO version of Star Control II, the Chmmr insert a network of satellites in [[Earth]]'s slave shield, the resulting disruptions causing its collapse.
-=====How does the [[MetaChron]] work?=====
-=====Does the [[Spathi]]'s [[Ultimate Evil]] really exist?=====
-From the #StarControl Efnet IRC chat of 1998-10-18 (Fwiffo is both [[Paul Reiche III|Paul]] and [[Fred Ford|Fred]] here):
-:<_Stilgar> <Spyhunter> Fwiffo: "How does an "Ultimate Evil" -race in an SC2 -style game behave when meeting the player?"
-:<Fwiffo> You mean the big carnivorous teddy bears on [[Spathiwa]]?
-:<Xxyl> I believe those were those "[[Evil Ones]]"
-:<_Stilgar> <Spyhunter> Fwiffo: "No, I mean the main enemy in the game. ;)"
-:<Fwiffo> Oh yeah. Well, I rarely paint someone as absolutely "evil" -- it's all a matter of perspective. What is interesting is why people (aliens) do things that seem evil to you or me, and what prevents us from doing the same.
-The fact that Paul/Fred didn't recall the Ultimate Evil suggests that this is not an important plot point, but merely a product of the Spathi's paranoia. [[Fwiffo]]'s description "[...] it lurks just outside the range of even the most sensitive, long-range detectors [...]" supports this idea.
-=Other mysteries=
-Minor mysteries resulting from extrapolation or critical analysis of the [[canon]] lore.
-=====Why didn't the [[Mycon]] [[Sphere of Influence]] expand more during the years?=====
-Their primary goal is expansion; why, then, do they progress so slowly?
-=====Why is the [[VUX Beast]] the only one left of its species?=====
-Is it really a superorganism? Is it the same Beast documented by [[ZEX]]'s ancient alien handbook or a descendant of it? What alien species wrote the handbook? What did the Beast after killing ZEX?
-=====Are there [[Spathi]] still out there not under the [[Spathiwa]] [[slave shield]]?=====
-=====Are there any [[Ilwrath]] and/or Thraddash left after [[Ilwrath-Thraddash war|their war]]?=====
-=====Where are the new [[Shofixti]] settling?=====
-=====What happened to the [[Tobermoon]] and its crew in the Vela Oort Cloud?=====
-The Star Control II manual states that The Captain finds the drifting, battle-damaged ship, "Strangely, there were no bodies at all on board." Who attacked it, and why take the bodies but leave the ship?
-=====Why did a [[Slylandro]] [[Probe]] only disable the Tobermoon?=====
-=====How can ships reach half the speed of light in [[TrueSpace]] without side effects?=====
