@Eco - Exactly what Gorzill said. The Mendel see them like how Teddy Roosevelt would see a massive grizzly bear. A challenge to best and beat, but not true warriors worthy of respect. They respect the strength and brutality, not their culture. Plus, the war is a way for them to get back in the saddle. After their defeat, they want to prove they still got it, that their still worthy of respect. And, like with everything the Mendel love, the Loron offer it in the most direct way. The Mendel will win and become stronger, or the Loron will wipe them out. No in betweens here, only death or glory.

@Gorzill - I like that idea. All our factions are so close, it just makes sense. Heck, Zarbs and Mendel have picked up cultural traits from each other, due to planets commonly trading owners multiple times.
