[i]agreed, these are some of the episodes i was referring to where we get snippets of information regarding insects and brunnen-g[/i]

What I took from (Brigadoom) this episode was similar to the Taelons in EFC(Earth Final Conflict) and several other Sci-Fi Fics. That when a race becomes immortal they become stagnant. Unable to evolve any further etc….

[i]complacency breeds stagnation…there is no longer any imperative to evolve because you believe you have no further need to evolve or change, hence stagnation…[/i]

I believe SGT is completely correct. After the insect war the BrunnenG could *not* adapt. Thats why they were using outdated and extremely inneffective insects against an insect that had evolved its technology much further since the war.

Kais trial showed just how intolerant and stagnant the BrunnenG had become. So when Kai gathered the other newborns they were forced to use the old technology and ships from the insects war.

Sgtdraino explaination is what Ive always believed as well. When you are fighting an enemy and getting your ass kicked the way humans were, you adapt or die.

Therefore I think Humans had to have used insect tech to win. And thats also why Kai is flying an insect, because the BrunnenG hadent evolved since and most seemed so mild so welcome to death that Im sure military buildup and evolution hadent been an issue since the war.

Just my opinion, something fun to speculate until/if the truth is ever revealed.

[i] exactly, thank you both…i do have one small niggling clarification which i probably missed in your post;i still think the lexx, and the gigashadow are modified insects designed/bred by human(oids)who were either tainted by the insect essence, or with actual insect genes tweezered into their humanoid complement…maybe like a reverse transcriptase virus, which actually alters the dna of the host…again, i have tried to follow whatever tidbits we have been given, so i don’t really have hard proof about how the insects are still affecting behavior millenia after their suppposed destruction…thanx again lexxlurker, fx [/i]
