 Another very striking difference between kavkema and Deinodons is their level of technology. While the Deinodons were greatly outnumbered by their nemesis faction, they were technologically //matched// by them - the dinosaurs on Lossos generally had technology that exceeded that of humans, across the board. Out of a far better economic understanding, the author has taken technology away from the kavkema and turned them into a nomadic culture constantly on the literal run. Another very striking difference between kavkema and Deinodons is their level of technology.

-  * **Zalaagra** has seen some change - the original continuity had her a little more involved (although if the author recalls correctly, not in the actual books, but only the aforementioned later narrative efforts). That was largely because her worlds were a lot more accessible than they are in the new continuity, however. In the original setting, it was easy for her to hop over to say hi. The author has forgotten how she used to be called, too.+  * **Zalaagra** has seen some change - the original continuity had her a little more involved (although if the author recalls correctly, not in the actual books, but only the aforementioned later narrative efforts).

   * **Valcen** is still, most notably, a (hopefully) temporary ally to the Nayabaru. The original books never got into his reasons - indeed, the author never bothered to come up with them. In the books, he eventually switched over to helping the kavkema. The author was sufficiently intrigued by his unspoken motivation to switch sides that she wanted to explore exactly what led up to that, which is why she chose to make Valcen the narratively central character in //A Thread Between The Stars//.   * **Valcen** is still, most notably, a (hopefully) temporary ally to the Nayabaru.
