Upon arrival, they attack the Soviet space station, the country still being a world superpower, where Soviets and Americans wait to greet them. The Fithp are confused by human attempts at peaceful contact. Fighting then ceased, and the losers are incorporated into the winning herd. When two herds meet, they fight until it is evident which is dominant. The Fithp are herd creatures and fight wars differently from humans. The original leaders are subordinate to the Spaceborn, who are prepared to start a space-based civilization, but are still dedicated to the generations-old goal of conquest. The herd was divided into "Sleepers" and the "Spaceborn", as the starship is both a generation ship and a sleeper ship. The leadership of the loser formed the Chtaptisk Fithp ('Traveling Herd'). An arms race between two rival herds threatened to render the species extinct, so they wagered to see who would depart in a starship and seek a new home elsewhere. The predecessor species badly damaged the environment, rendering itself and many other species extinct, but left behind their knowledge inscribed on large stone cubes from which the Fithp gained their technology. In the distant past on their planet, another species was dominant. They possess more advanced technology than humans, but did not develop any of it on their own. The alien Fithp resemble baby elephants with multiple prehensile trunks.
