Every Alpha encountered or indirectly involved through their actions backs up the hostile impression mainstream humanity[[spoiler: and the Remnant]] have of the Alphas, but there is a form of selection bias going on: Alphas that eschew meddling in human affairs (and alien affairs, at least when it is so open as what the ones behind the [[spoiler:Kor Sestor hijacking]] were up to) are ''far'' less likely to be discovered. There may very well be Alpha groups that just want to be left alone in peace out there.

The FlavorText for the Korath Planetary-Class engines says that the Quarg prefer to "do all things efficiently," but this isn't reflected in the stats of their Medium Graviton Engines or Steering systems, which have the ''worst'' energy consumption and efficiency in the game (though their mass and heat efficiency are both above-average). This basically means you have to also have the Antimatter Core and Subspace Battery to get any use out of them; you can't use any other species' power systems. This WMG proposes that the Quarg designed this flaw on purpose to make it a pain for other species to use their technology without permission.
