Eternal English | |
| The Faded Sun / int_30763ed8 | comment |
Eternal English: The high tongue (formal language) of the Mri is shown to have been completely stable between two isolated groups of Mri for approximately a million years. | |

Of the People | |
| The Faded Sun / int_503c3744 | comment |
Of the People: Mri means "people". What do these catlike aliens call humans and regul? Tsi-mri, "not-people". This makes the entry of Duncan into their society all the more noteworthy, and the inclusion of three humans in their holy records unheard of for any other species. | |

Quest for the Rest | |
| The Faded Sun / int_590f00d9 | comment |
Quest for the Rest: Most of the mri are massacred with the collusion of humanity. The two survivors search for others of their kind with the help of a sympathetic human. Eventually they find them, and their race's hidden planet of origin. | |

Abusive Alien Parents | |
| The Faded Sun / int_6282a6d6 | comment |
Abusive Alien Parents: The regul treat all children as expendable slaves; the survival rate to adulthood is less than one in a hundred, and most pre-adult regul are killed, often quite casually, by adults of their own kind. | |

Proud Warrior Race Guy | |
| The Faded Sun / int_8c1ad82f | comment |
Proud Warrior Race Guy: The humans of the Alliance initially thought that the mri were this. Actually only one caste is like that; the other two thirds of the mri are non-combatant. | |

Intelligent Gerbil | |
| The Faded Sun / int_8d0c9743 | comment |
Intelligent Gerbil: The Regul seemed to bear a lot of resemblance to terrestrial hippopotamuses. The dusei (singular "dus"), the companion animals of the Mri, were Ursine Aliens. | |

Humans Are Warriors | |
| The Faded Sun / int_c0f87dda | comment |
Humans Are Warriors: The "Humans Are Soldiers" variant. The mri are in every sense superior to humanity as warriors. It's simply biologically impossible for any human best a mri in lethally-armed combat, because their response times are entire tenths of seconds faster than ours. Culturally, too, the mri warrior tradition is incredibly fierce. Their alien psychology, however, just does not do organized mass combat, so humans (acting as unwilling pawns to another alien species) have nearly wiped them out. | |

Ursine Aliens | |
| The Faded Sun / int_c987803b | comment |
Ursine Aliens: The companion animals of the Mri were the dusei (singular "dus"), bearlike creatures who were similar to one-owner dogs and somewhat empathic to their masters through touch. | |

Last of His Kind: The hero/heroine protagonists are (apparently) the last of the Mri. | |
