Xeeleeverse Spline question
Just been reading some of the xeeleeverse books that reminded me of something I always wanted to ask. Apparantly the Spline are living being, but used as Spacecraft, how the hell does that work?

They're intelligent aliens that decided that since other smaller aliens would always want spacecraft they engineered themselves to be such and then hired out to whoever wanted them. Anything they couldn't grow is grafted on so they're giant space capable cyborgs with hyperdrives. Spline are one of the more widespread species before humanity loses it's rag.
Of course in the same universe the nightfighters are also living ships since there is no real distintion between the Xeelee and their artifacts.

So it's their technological enhancements that make them Space Capable? OKay then, thanks.

Re: Xeeleeverse Spline question
Mostly. You can get away with a lot with bio-engineering and where biology ends and more mechanical technology begins is very fuzzy in this setting. This is the universe with non-sientient space pirates and people who measure their hieght in angstroms, after all.Dr Roberts wrote:So it's their technological enhancements that make them Space Capable?
