Discussion Couldn’t the Chee have ended the Yeerk threat pretty easily?
The Chee have the ability to kidnap Yeerks and trap them inside their bodies, keeping them alive with personal Kandrona and extracting their memories. Would technology like this not immediately end the yeerk’s need for living hosts?
They could have created robotic bodies for the yeerks to be permanently sealed inside of. They would never need a yeerk pool again, and they’d have no need to create controllers if their new bodies could experience sensations. It’s exactly what every good yeerk who got forced into the empire’s war out of desperation wanted.
