Space Opera novel by Eric Flint and K. D. Wentworth:Long ago the Ekhat bred the Jao as slaves for their incomprehensible purposes. The Jao escaped from their tyranny and fled to form a glorious empire that stretched out among the stars. They conquered many primitive worlds. Then they turned their eyes on an Insignificant Little Blue Planet and sought to bring the blessings of civilization to it.The initial results of this enterprise were not as auspicious as might be hoped.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Twenty years later Aille krinnu ava Pluthrak, a young prince of one of the most prestigious houses in The Empire comes to take up his duties. He learns that things were not as reports had indicated. Casualties from the conquest had been immense, the governor, named Oppuck, was arrogant and insane and The Natives Were Restless. Aille set to work. He looked over the planet, began to take humans into his service, and learned about their culture. Much had to be done for the Ekhat were on their way and humans and jao must work together to survive.In the end all is well. Aille leads a fleet into battle to destroy the Ekhat fleet, composed of submarines retrofitted for space combat while the governor cowers in safety. He wins popularity among both the humans and the Jao stationed on Earth, and becomes head of all the Jao on Earth while meanwhile his efforts cause The Empire to grant the humans the Jao equivalent of "home rule". And everyone lives happily ever after.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The sequel is The Crucible of Empire. | |

The Caligula | |
| The Course of Empire / int_52aa0c4a | comment |
The Caligula: Governor Oppuck though it later turns out that it wasn't completely his fault, since the Preceptor's agents were drugging him into a mad sexual fervor. Thanks to the jao's unusual (to humans) reproductive biology and the clans' refusal to engage in what we would call "sexual education," he wasn't even able to understand what was happening to him before his unsanity destroyed him. | |

Benevolent Alien Invasion | |
| The Course of Empire / int_d8ec79d5 | comment |
Benevolent Alien Invasion: Played with. The Jao are not particularly benevolent. They are just no worse then human conquerors would be, and the Navro are particularly direct in their methods. Their governor has also gone quite mad. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| The Course of Empire / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Jao and humans to each other. Definitely the Ekhat. Bonus points to the Ekhat's Interdict faction, who are this to the other Ekhat. | |
