I really don't think that it was just the loss of Earth that ended the war.

Earlier in the series the Yeerks lost Leera (thanks in part to the Animorphs)

Towards the end of the war Edriss failed to secure the Anati system.

They were losing battles on all fronts, and I think that the loss of Earth was the straw that broke the Taxxon's back.


Of course they did still have the Hork-Bajir and Taxxon planets, so I don't know if the Yeerk Empire was actually obliterated...

 that's true. they lost various campaigns. I wonder how far flung their empire was though.

Well, what I wonder is just how big the Yeerk Empire wsa. towards the beginning of the series i always thought the Yeerk Empire was huge and Earth was just one small part of their campaign. However, when the war ended with the destruction of the Yeerk forces at Earth I thought, surely, the Yeerks didn't concentrate THAT much force on Earth. But who knows.
If their empire was big, maybe the Ssstram and the Mak are just being used in another part of their empire.

My thoughts exactly.

Lol. Remember The Five?

Or maybe it was The Six? Hell, it could've been The Seven for all I care. I wonder how they would've looked had KA developed them even more. 

One thing strikes me as odd though. The Yeerks were traveling across the galaxy from planet to planet, conquering dozens of sentient beings. But did it ever occur to them that if they really wanted to live on as a species they needed ONE version of a symbiotic relationship?  Why take over Hork-Bajirs, humans, Taxxons, Straams, and Maks when a Hork-Bajir can't reproduce with a human or Taxxon (which would be absolute torture).  Seems rather tiring trying to move on as a race when your entire species is scattered around the galaxy in the bodies of other aliens.

The Yeerks really just needed one race to form a mutual symbiotic relationship with, like the Iskoort.  That should've been Gedds. It would've worked had they not gotten greedy and wanted more. We should accept what evolution and nature has given us. What the Yeerks were asking for was basically an over-extensive and very expensive plastic surgery.

 hahha. true that. However, maybe that's why they just wanted a class five species.

probably not as populous as earth.  we know they had enough people for war and stuff but the yeerks were amazed by our numbers, so we can assume it was an uncommon thing

 an estimate? since they were space faring can we assume that most of their population remained on Andal with only a small percentage actually in space?

They're a class four species, so they're populous enough to host a good portion (if not all) of the yeerks. They had hundreds (or thousands I don't remember which) of Hork-bajirs which are class three, so obviously they need more than that. and from some other clues, I'd guess the andalite population to be in the millions.

In "The Capture," I noticed that when the Yeerk is gloating inside of Jake's head, he mentions that he will be an 'Under-Visser' for capturing him, yet for the rest of the series the word 'Sub-Visser' was used.  That always bugged me for some reason.
