Would the Yeerks have stopped after invading Earth?
« on: June 21, 2008, 12:30:44 AM »

I got to thinking about this a while ago: Would the Yeerks have stopped invading other planets once they had taken over Earth?

The reason why I'm thinking this is because of the insane amount of humans we have on this planet. If the Yeerks had taken over, wouldn't they easily be able to find a host for every Yeerk in the Pool Ship? I think there were millions of Yeerks at most, where as we have billions of humans on this planet (all who could reproduce really fast too, if needed).

To me, the whole point of the invasion and the war in the first place was that the Yeerks wanted to be free, and to see the world as other creatures did, which is why they escaped from the Andalites after they were given portable Kandrona Rays. The Yeerks then went going around the universe looking for a Class Five (?) species where they could permanently settle their species into. From what I remember of Visser, humans were that set of species that they were looking for.

Am I not right? Was that not the objective? Do you think that if the Yeerks had taken over the humans, that the objective would've been completed? Would they have been content with living their lives as humans? Or would they lust for more power, invading as many planets and species as they could find?

some yeerks most likely, yeah. they'll probably be content. some like visser three (or visser one by then) would probably just want more.

yea i can see some of them wanting to find an even better species to replace the hork-bajir as their shock troops but you're probably right, for the most part they would be fine with humans, unless the homeworld had alot more yeerks, cause I dont think they ever said.

I think the objective at that point was to obtain enough hosts to re-take their homeworld, who knows what they would want to do after that. Especially if their whole governmental structure was based on conquest, it would be tough to switch over to a peaceful existance. Especially for the leaders who would be giving up their ranks and power

Yes,

Step one: Take over Earth.
Step two: Re-claim the blessed Yeerk homeworld.
Step three: Take over Andalites.


If satisfied: Terminate the process be peaceful.
If greedy: Take over the whole universe. Then be peaceful.

With Espilin (Visser one/Three) as Visser One, oh man... peace is never an option.

That may have been all the majority of Yeerks wanted, but not the ones in charge. Once they have Earth and a host for every Yeerk then they would have been their forces would have been strong enough to move against the Andalite homeworld. Why settle for human when you can have Andalites? And once they have the Andalite homeworld then they will be the most powerful race in the galaxy.

Well, there is still the Kelbrid... which might have power at par or even greater than the Andalites...  :)

It's far too late in the war for them to stop without defeating the Andalites. They didn't betray the Andalites for the goal of obtaining other hosts. They could have gotten voluntary hosts with the aide of Andalites.

They betrayed the Andalites because someone up top thought galactic conquest would be a good thing. The Council may have even gotten the idea from Crayak, but that's speculation at best.

They would have to overtake the andalites as well, since the andalites would have continued to battle them. And on another level, it seems all yeerks hate andalites (and vice versa), even those yeerks in the peace movement., perhaps one can't survive while the other is around.

Yeah it seems like they'd want to go after the Andalites and take back their homeworld, at least, although some Yeerks probably would be happy enough settling on Earth.  It seems like with that many bodies some Yeerks could afford to live a relatively civilian lifestyle rather than the constant militaritic society of invading alien parasites x3

But then again, thank Cassie for letting Yeerks morph... that way they can have a suitable body without enslaving others... ^^
