Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me! Crayak creates The One, thinking it will give him an edge the Ellimist knows nothing about BUT The One grows strong from absorbing other races. Too strong. So The One kicks Crayak out of the galaxy and sort of "becomes his own man." That would be an interesting fic from Crayak's point of view...I like this concept, having a creation from the ultimate evil biting himself on the back and the good guys coming across it and having to clean it up.

If 'The One' isn't Cryak himself, can anyone hypothesize how it seemed to know Jake?
Or it had Ax's memories. And Ax knew Jake...Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me!

it was the being that caused jakes future halucination in that one book.
What plans?I dunno, really. I was just shouting randomly. :P
Actually the animorphs article one wikipedia said it had to do with something that absorbed the Ellimist (turns out the bits about the ending with total bull some moron made up).
The problem with the one is that we know so little about it that we can only guess at what it is. Analyzing the animorphs is like trying to analyze a sitcom, their are masses of contradictions and things that don't make sense in the real world.
The only thing we can be sure of is that the one has a source of Kandrona as the yeerk homeworld was taken and all the other yeerks became nothlits. The one could produce kandrona naturally and the Yeerks came to worship it like the ancient cultures worshiped the sun.
Once again that is just my best guess.
The Blade ship presumably has its own pool and Kandrona generator, but the generators don't last forever. After three years in space, it'd probably run out.

I don't see why; if it were properly maintained (and let's face it, it would be, it's unlikely they wouldn't have had the means aboard the ship and if they did they could have stopped off at the nearest Yeerk stronghold for what they needed before the empire fully crumbled) its lifespan could easily be as long if not longer than the ship's. Unless it went without proper maintainance for years--maybe decades--three years seems ridiculously short for a ship that could spend that length of time on assignment away from resupply. On a Yeerk ship a Kandrona generator for the onboard pool would easily be as important as the walls, and they may have linked up with other Yeerk ships, allowing them to swap parts, or even build entirely new generators as needed.
In Visser they had portable generator that lasted them quite a long time and a portable model shouldn't last longer than one meant to feed an entire crew on a vessel. Even if we assume it came from their Bugfighter--before they destroyed it--a capital ship such as a Pool or Blade Ship should have a more durable model aboard I would expect.

Where in any of the books does it say that the yeerks were all forced to become nothlits? Or even that the homeworld was totally conqured by the andalites? People really count the yeerks out at the end of the series, but they owned several other planets. Although the loss of earth would have hurt them really badly, it doesn't mean the empire instantly crumbled and stopped existing.
While we know the Homeworld was blockaded (at least at times), we also know that it's possible for Yeerks to get in and out of the blockade. Edriss has no trouble with it in Visser, for example, or at any other time. Maybe the Andalite blockade had to be lifted at some point during the war and was reestablished some time afterwards. In any case, it is pretty clear that yeerks can infiltrate and exfiltrate their homeworld, as well as send and receive messages.
