Effectively invulnerable in normal space due to its sheath-shielding system, the Lucifer was further advantaged by its armament of at least three (likely four) beam (or beam-like) weapons in an era before Terrans or Vasudans had developed such technology.

The Vishnans were named by Samuel Bei, the central character in the first Blue Planet instalment. They do not refer to themselves as Vishnans, nor to the Shivans as Shivans, however they do appear to have some kind of adversarial relationship with the Shivans. Their relationship with Terrans and the GTVA, though apparently at least somewhat benevolent, is somewhat unclear.(more...)
