What is supposed to be one of the most major threats to the Morrow Project and has one of the least back stories.
Through out the boards there is some very complicated and very detailed back story for Krell himself. Vice President, A Cabinet Member, Army General, Air Force General, A corporate nobody, a Soviet mole in the Pentagon, a Soviet Mole in the CIA.
If you can find the time there was a lot of discussion of "Who is Krell?" in the Nostromo email lists.
Anyway, all the Modules and one off scenarios always portray the WoK as dumb as rocks neo-barbs.
This perturbs me. After all their base tech is B......... They have used in the past nuclear weapons and bio warfare.
This can be explained that the Warriors of Krell is a Caste system. The bottom rungs, the cannon fodder are ignorant useless brutes that kill who they are told to kill. However this doesn't mean that there is an upper Caste that understands and builds the steam, are the overlords of the farms, and maintains the power and the lights. Even another higher Caste closer to Krell who direct, and train this Makers for Krell caste, who can use and repair pre War high tech including Cryotubes.
