[edit] Motive for the Hyperspace Shunt
It was not build for the hypothetical Garthlings, but for the next stage Uplift ceremony of the Neo-Chimps, who the Gubru wanted to "inherit" as Uplift Consorts. Albmont 15:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Part 4, Chapter 56, Galactics, on Page 358-59 of the paperback says the following.
-
[The Suzerain of Cost and Caution] proposed that the new construction projects be abandoned. ... They had been begun on the assumption that these “Garthling” creatures would be found. Now it was simply pointless to continue building a hyperspace shunt and ceremonial mound!
- The shunt was started on the basis that there were Garthlings. The change to the next stage Uplift ceremony of the Neo-Chimps was an attempt to recover costs. --David A. Harding 15:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

- Seconded - David is correct, as I read the book. Toby Douglass 12:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
