Little is known about the Tharon race, although their existence and extinction is regarded
as historical fact by the Kaleds during the Neutronic War. It was
recognised that the race was eradicated in an act of genocide, similar to
the Dals, but whether this was an accurate statement or simply propaganda
against the Thals was unclear. It is possible that the Dals were at war
with the Tharons when the Thals attacked and that, perhaps unwittingly, the Thals were responsible
for the extermination of two distinct Skarosian cultures in one
fell blow.
The implication from peace activists during the War was that the Tharons and the Dals destroyed each
other in a long war, as the Kaleds and Thals were doing. This seems too much like convenient historical
repetition to be fact however and the theory is assumed to be peacemonger propaganda.
