the zeltrons are said to be descended from a sub-light humans sleeper ship, We also know the Tythonians sent out sleeper ships, and the sith of tython do not seem as aggressive as even the pre-contact King Adeas sith seem to be. Since the sith species can interbreed with humans with the aid of genetic tampering, could the Zeltrons be decedents from the Tythos system sith and human sleeper/generational vessel? Zeltron culture embraces the hedonistic, but unlike sith culture rejects violence and sociopathic behavior, and they are both red.
I do not like it. we know how interbreeding between humans and sith looks from a variety of sources. and zeltrons look different. While I agree it could be a tythonian sleeper ship with sith, humans and others on it. it probably was humans and others that were the majority.. not sith. or if human/sith hybrids are involved, then only as a minor component with future breeding between the hybrids and someone else leading to zeltrons.
This is not a parsimonious theory. Zeltron descent from straight Homo sapiens rather than some Sith/Human crossbreed is more likely, and therefore, must be chosen theoretically. Beyond that: the genetic signs would be obvious, so the Zeltrons would know if they were descended from Sith/Human hybrids. This is not claimed, ergo, it is false.
Besides, we have seen Sith Human hybrids, and they look nothing like Zeltrons. And they took a combination of science and dark magic to create. I still think the Zeltron were genetically engineered by a hedonistic cult.
Zeltrons are a species we should aspire to be. The wisdom of love, the smell of partying in the morning and a society that is built on everyone having fun (a funocracy), for all these we must salute, nay, thank the Zeltrons. Zeltron - Your Happy Ending
And yet, even the Zeltrons can be corrupted. There was one who became a Sith Lord and there was also Luxa, who was a criminal.
There is also Antos Wyrick you went outright insane, though you have to wonder what messed him up more, getting raised by Iskalloni or Mandalorians.
I don't really like the idea that Zeltrons and Sith share anything more than a common genetic ancestor. They don't even look that similar and they don't share any inherent trait besides having a reddish skin tone. His empathatic abilities never developed due to being raised by the Iskalloni. That's stated by Rohlan Dyre.... but he of course has a biased view.
Though Rohlan's view would indeed be bias, Demagol's own actions show strong sociopathic tendencies, lending credence to the belief that the Iskalloni broke him as a child and stunted his natural development as a Zeltron.
While we're on this subject, can we pretend that that the Myke are what the Tythonian-Sith became, and Naga Sadow was descended from a long line of Myke Dark Jedi who refused to interbreed with their Sith subjects, explaining how he was both simultaneously of pure Sith descent and pure Dark Jedi descent?
I'm actually surprised we haven't seen more on the Myke/Sith connection over the years. Evil vile sleeper-Sith spies in action!
