That's our admiration for those who operate successfully in the gray, or even the dark.

How else do you explain our obsession with mobsters?
A good post.

I don't see a problem with that idea. After all, we fight amongst ourselves constantly.

A fair point, but the fact that he didn't conceive any other races doesn't mean he intended the rest of the galaxy/universe to be empty of life. I suspect he would mention/create other races only if they're to be used in the story.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

It may be that the Amnion gave their ships names because they couldn't identify them by scents through the vacuum of space (unlike how they can identify each other by scent when they are together in the same ship). The ship names, like Tranquil and Calm may have been meant to deceive humans or to represent their own "feelings" about these ships.
