* [[Absolute Xenophobe]] - the Achuultani. Full Stop.
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]] - Dahak is smart and good; he became fully sentient thanks to tens of thousands of years of unsupervised operation. Battle Fleet computers are stupid and good, with obedience to Battle Fleet Central enforced (and sentience blocked) at the hardware level. The second book reveals that {{spoiler|the Achuultani are controlled by an ''evil'' AI that exploited emergency protocols arising from their near-extinction to seize absolute power and sends out the periodic genocidal waves to perpetuate the "crisis". And also that Dahak has advanced enough to disregard his core programming, which ''isn't'' hardwired. He's loyal because he ''chooses'' to be}}.
