It makes sense that they would surrender. It looks dark, and badly damaged, but itвЂ™s still clearly supporting functioning ecosystems and life. We later see Team Voltron leaving for space in s7e2 and weвЂ™re given a wide shot of the Belt and the particular planet they were on. We actually have more supporting evidence for this in season 7 - the planet in s7e1 with the Yelmores on it is referred to by Coran as the Dalterion Belt. If we can take this as truth, it implies that Rygnerath, Nalquod, and the Dalterion Belt all surrendered after their leaders were executed. We know all the original paladins were the leaders of their respective people, and we have strong evidence that Zarkon killed at least Blaytz and Trigel along with Alfor.Д«ut in season 7 we find out that the only planet that resisted the Empire to the point that Zarkon destroyed it was Altea. Modern Galra are all hybrids of 4/5 of the OG PaladinвЂ™s races. Now tell me that between the three of them they donвЂ™t account for all the physical characteristics - besides the pupil-less eyes - that are present in the modern Galra population but not in the past. So why are the Galra so much more diverse in physical appearance after the 10k year time skip? If this revelation turns out to be relevant somehow in season 8 it might be why Morvok of all characters was chosen to make a cameo in s7e4 вЂThe FuedвЂ™. Our friend Morvok is perhaps the perfect example of this, as not only does he have the large, manta-ray like ears, he also possess similar facial markings and white eyes - as opposed to the normal Galran yellow. Many late-Empire Galra seem to carry physical traits that Blaytz, and presumably the rest of his people from Nalquod (the Nalquians? Nalquodians? Nalquese?), also share. In the three missing decaphoebs between seasons AcxaвЂ™s horns may have simply grown out, and her now longer hair is hiding the second point.ДЄs pointed out in the post liked above. It could be that sheвЂ™s always had a single set the connection of the two points simply being hidden by her hair. My take away? Krolia and Axca are both part Dalterian (and so is Keith by extension).ДЇurther evidence towards this theory is that TrigelвЂ™s horns have two distinct points and prior to the timeskip between seasons 6 and 7 it appeared that Acxa had two sets of horns.

Not to mention, as of season 7? Trigel and Axca have the same horns. Trigel possesses the same yellow sclera, colored irises, and white pupils that both Acxa and Krolia have. Well, when people first saw Krolia in s5 many suspected that she might be part Altean because Alteans are the only race weвЂ™d encountered with colored pupils.

If I hadnвЂ™t read that post I wouldnвЂ™t have noticed that particular characterвЂ™s eyes.

This post was inspired by this one from As well as asking someone to grab them a screenshot of a particular character in the Lotura Discord. Yes, yes, quintessence and universe conquering happened - but how about we not just hand-wave the issue? Hmm? LetвЂ™s see what the show is actually showing us on the subject. Were the background characters in вЂThe Legend BeginsвЂ™ all copy-pastes of each other? Or did something happen over the EmpireвЂ™s 10,000 year history to change the appearance of the Galra as a species in such a dramatic manner?

The Galra in VLD are a dramatically varied race, with individuals displaying physical features resembling anything from reptiles to mammals and everywhere in between.Д«y contrast, the Galra of the past seem to be uniformly reptilian in appearance.
