Re: Planets of SF Author Hats
Kneale: This planet has been periodically invaded by inhuman entities for millions of years. (The populace is in fact descended from a failed attempt by a race of psionic anthropods to ensure their psychic,if not physical, survival.)
On this world,planetary defense is generally assigned to the scientists,as most military on this planet tend to be hidebound and dictatorial,as do the politicians. In general,this worlds technology is about 20th-century level,though the aforesaid scientists tend to have the occasional advanced gadget available.
