How would the elites move, let alone fight on a planet with nearly 2 more gravities than their homeworld? --Jaguartalon 20:54, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Send in rangers? Antigrav tech could reduce the gravity felt.That Geek 07:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Is this really a stub? In my view it has a fair amount of information to be complete. TailSpin 03:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Gas giant

So, a while ago Catalog stated that Te is a gas giant. This creates an inconsistency with the Bestiarum, which clearly describes the planet as a terrestrial one. Previously, Contact Harvest mentioned that the Lekgolo were first encountered in the rings of a gas giant that was never named, so the inconsistency could be bypassed by assuming this gas giant was a Lekgolo colony separate from Te (something that is presently reflected in our relevant articles). But with Catalog's statement supporting the idea that the gas giant mentioned in Contact Harvest was indeed Te, should we simply ignore the Bestiarum's descriptions when it comes to the canonical article body and note the discrepancy accordingly? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 02:12, 11 August 2014 (EDT)

The discrepancy should be noted, but I'd consider the Bestiarum as higher in the canonical hierarchy since it was material from a game, making it the supreme source in this case. I favor sticking with it. We could also explain the Bestiarum's description of Te as an error made by 343 Guilty Spark, as his observations are noted to be "under investigation."--Spartacus TalkContribs 11:45, 11 August 2014 (EDT)
Both the Bestiarum and the original Visual Guide entry on Hunters refer to Te as though it's a rock/metal world and not a gas giant. Gas giants do not possess a surface as such and are gas to the core. The core only exists at crushing depths often made from metallic hydrogen...a hydrogen so densely packed it's atomic structure lines up like a lattice structure in a metal. Suffice it to say, nothing would live there. Catalog has not been infallible, so I'd chalk this up to a mistake on its part which may get resolved. Simply put, Te cannot be a gas giant if it has a surface and things live on it. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 22:32, 11 August 2014 (EDT)
Would you say that the mention of the Lekgolo living in the rings of a gas giant in Contact Harvest was also in error and that said ringed planet was in fact meant to be Te, or that the ringed gas giant was in fact a different planet? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 23:16, 11 August 2014 (EDT)
