Ah hah, new there was some stuff on the Jokaero somewhere!
Jokaero
The Jokaero are a fascinating race. For one thing, no outsider has ever decided whether they are intelligent. They are certainly capable of tremendous feats of engineering, construction and problem solving, yet they have no language, culture, or motivation higher than survival. Their physical appearance is of a heavy, orange-furred ape, similar to the orang-utang [sic] which roamed ancient Earth. This may or may not be coincidence, for it is an established fact that the Slann created and modified many races at the dawn of time, and appear to have visited the Earth on numerous occasions. The most amazing thing about the Jokaero is their technical brilliance - they appear to have an innate, genetically structured understanding of technology. Given sufficient pieces of battered machinery, a group of Jokaero can make almost anything, from a spaceship to a las-cannon. Their comprehension of Astro-physics is baffling, they seem able to tap power-currents which flow imperceptibly through the galaxy. Their understanding of such matters goes beyond that of even the most advanced of other known races, with the possible exception of the Great Mages of the Slann...
... If the Jokaero could be controlled they would be very useful to other races. However, this has proved largely impossible. They tend to build things which meet their own immediate needs. Attempts at capturing Jokaero and compelling them to work can have disastrous effects - they build things with which to escape.
Hmm... so yes the Jokaero could beat the AQ easily, but the Jokaero do have some HUGE disadvantages to exploit (No language or culture for one, so as I've said they have llittle if any real co-ordination above an instinctual ape like level.)
