That's actually a pretty involved question. If you ask a biologist, I don't
have a species at all. If you ask a lawyer... well, you know, if you're
willing to repeat what you just said on the record, there's more than one
case being built at the moment that could make a lot of hay with the
official viewpoint of a representative of an alien civilization.

Huh. I get the appeal for warriors, if it's really a more effective shape
for fighting, but why politicians? Wouldn't making yourself look so
different to the norm work against you, or else exclude most people from
power?
And what if you wanted to change careers, or retire? Isn't it - well, kind
of isolating?
