Ahh, thank you for the quick FTL explanation, I now have some grasp of the process :o)
Interesting point about Bren being coded female. When I first read the book I was really enjoying reading about the main character being in a world where everyone is bigger, stronger and more violent than he is, and it wasn't until ages later that I realised it's because that's the world I live in and I'm identifying with him unusually well because of it.
