I like the idea of providing loads of natives "out in space" and providing a
problem as to how to get them planetside somewhere?What sort of numbers are
you thinking about?
Hundreds of thousands. Ideally a feeding frenzy would develop if this appeared
in "border" or "crossing ground" regions. Ideal to script in "galactic
centre" regions of spiral-arm galaxy maps! Geddit while it's warm!

I like this, one issue though, the only way to have natives
in space and moved by a ship is in Pods. If you attack the ship, you are
likely to attack the pods also, assuming they don't get destroyed when you
kill the ship. We will need to figure out this detail, but I'd like to
see this one work.
