Wow, thanks for the replies guys! Seems there is still a lot of speculation about it though, which- to me- means 'possibilities' and no risk of breaking canon. Not that I needed 'upper echelon' info on the Empire for my purposes, just a general "Hm... I wonder...." But it would be very telling as far as the overall state of the Empire.
Great discussion...
So good. Until, like Shippuu says, we see a clear-cut Lala or Miqo 'in charge' we can't be CERTAIN... but then again, we can't dismiss the chance Roe or Elezan could be up there either. Or... the possibility that Elezan and Roe could be 'seen' differently than Miqo or Lala. I mean... if the Garleans hate beastmen so, it seems possible they might see Miqo as a lower 'being' than the more 'human' races. ESPECIALLY if the Garlean are known to be very intelligent- and the Miqo are not as educated.
Anyway... its enough to play with for my purposes.
thanks again- but feel free to continue the discussion. I'm very interested to hear your thoughts!
((Not that I am promoting any sort of specieism or racism here- I'm not. But just trying to think this out in terms of... well... conquering nations IRL. And how those that are different from 'you' are often seen))
