	Communication and Understanding
		Their society is extremely efficient, because there is no question about a particular Motie’s place in society, no need to prepare a Motie for more than one career path, or waste time or resources teaching them skills they may or may not use in the future.
		The Moties also seem to have an instinctive, genetic talent for their jobs, so that it is easier to educate them than it is to educate a human.
		The Cycles have proven in Motie history to be thus far unavoidable, and Crazy Eddie ideas have only served to either put off collapse, speed it up, or in the case of the Crazy Eddie probe and presumably the asteroid civilizations, expand it to new places.

	Motie - Wikipedia
		Een motie is een uitspraak (in de meeste gevallen een verzoek) van een volksvertegenwoordiging (bijvoorbeeld de Gemeenteraad of Tweede Kamer) aan het dagelijks bestuur (bijvoorbeeld Gedeputeerde Staten van een provincie) om iets te doen of juist na te laten.
		Een minder zware motie is de motie van afkeuring, die in wezen betekent dat er een motie van wantrouwen zal volgen als het beleid niet veranderd wordt.
		Een motie in een gemeenteraad die voornamelijk gericht is op de landelijke politiek ('De raad verzoekt het college bij het Rijk dit en dat onder de aandacht te brengen') heet ook wel een postzegelmotie.

		It is determined to prevent the Moties from learning that technology from humans at all costs, at least until they prove not to be a threat.
		At the same time, the characterization of the Moties and their social structure leads to the development of entirely different themes which provoke the reader to examine the potential for humanity to fall into a Motie-like dystopia.
		The military is charged with the responsibility of determining whether the Moties are a threat to humanity, and with preventing their discovery of human technologies that might increase such a threat.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews: The Mote in God's Eye
		In the system they meet and bring aboard a single Motie, whose fascination factor is exceeded only by the miniature Moties she brings along.
		The real star of the novel, though, is the carefully crafted and gradually revealed Motie civilization--and the Moties themselves, as individuated as their human counterparts.
		If the Motie civilization is the star, the human culture is a close second.

		The Moties are welcoming and kind, yet rather evasive about certain aspects of their society.
		It seems the Moties have a dark problem, one they've been unable to solve in over a million years.
		The novel meticulously examines every aspect of First Contact, from the Moties' biology, society, and art, to the effects of the meeting on humanity's economics, politics, and religions.

	The Mote in God's Eye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Moties are radically different (both physically and psychologically) from humanity, in ways that become more clear over the course of the book.
		MacArthur carries civilian research teams intended to meet with and investigate the Moties, while Lenin is there to "ride shotgun" on the mission, avoiding all contact with the aliens.
		The Moties can not stop breeding, and while expansion to other planets seems a solution, this only works until all planets are full with Moties - at which time a devastating war for space and resources will begin.

		Once a probe with a Motie in it is discovered, the Empire of Man decides to pay the Motie home world a visit.
		The Moties themselves as perfect mimics, sounding and acting like the humans they're "assigned to." Which gets the authors off the hook, as they talk just like the other characters.
		Probably the biggest is this: the Motie "threat" revolves around a specific aspect of their biology.

		Communications between humans and Moties is done entirely in English, not just for narrative convenience, but because it is a fact of this particular contact that the Moties (well, some of them) were able to learn our language quickly, and we were never able to decipher theirs.
		When we hear the Moties talk, in their alien chirps and whistles, the audience would be as much in the dark as the humans in the story.
		The novel does have some small sections of narrative in which the reader can "hear" a Motie's thoughts or words, but until the end they are the sort of thing a film rendition would probably dispose of anyway, and even at the end I think it can be worked around.

		The Empire of Man has a blockade to keep the Moties bottled up in their own system because the Moties are explosively expansive and would quickly overrun the Empire.
		Much of the reason that the original blockade worked for 25 years is that the Moties were coming into a red giant sun having undergone jump shock and didn't know about either the sun or the shock.
		The Moties' first breakthrough shows how easy it would be for their ships to get loose, at least in that system.

		It is quite true that everyone involved has to be a boob not to figure out that the Moties were undergoing periodic collapses.
		The Moties' problem is one of the great problems of life - there are situations that are fundamentally unacceptable and fundamentally unavoidable, and what do you do about it.
		This is not unreasonable; neurotic behaviour tends to spread from one area of life to all areas of life.

	SF Signal: REVIEW: The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
		His mission quickly changes when an alien ship is discovered to be heading to that system from the remote dwarf star that is known as the Mote since it appears like a speck of dust in the even-larger star known as Murcheson's Eye.
		Overall, it was the book-long exploration of the Moties themselves that contributed most to the sense of wonder.
		I'm sure some of the slow buildup was done intentionally to enhance the mystery of what the Motie secret might be, but the build up was too slow and the payoff was only minor.

	Steve Jackson Games Forums - The Mote in Gods Eye
		The moties are three-armed aliens (two normal arms, and a dominant arm with some extra Arm ST) with a very very old civilization.
		The main "population problem" was that moties have to have children, or they'll die.
		So their race is constantly growing, and the only real form of population control that they have is war, which inevitably breaks out and eventually destroys their present civilization.

	Summary
		Fundamentally - the Moties are an alien race operating a Caste system which is physically inherent in the evolved "mutated" varients of the race itself.
		Genetically, Moties are bi-phase hermaphrodites - they cycle between male and female forms.
		The Whites lead Motie "Clans" in the political and diplomatic arena.

		Thus, a race to determine the situation in and around the Mote ensues, trying to prevent the Moties from escaping, and unleashing their secret on the Empire....
		The Moties in Hand are not from Mote Prime, but from asteroid and moon civilzations, and are very fractured - each "family" has different domains of control and they are all competing to control more - and are changing sides more than a dice on a craps table.
		Which Motie belongs to which group also became confusing, so it was hard to follow the points of view.

		A quarter century after humanity quarantined the aliens known as the Moties within the confines of their own solar system, the wall between them and the galaxy beyond is beginning to crumble.
		After being confined to their own planetary system by a heavily enforced naval blockade because of the dangers they represent for mankind, the highly specialized and swiftly breeding aliens known as Moties are finally poised to break free.
		The key difference in this latest encounter, however, is that both men and Moties now have their own unique bargaining chips, a situation that may or may not forestall a species-annihilating war.

		After 25 years of blockading the Alderson Point to the Mote, the Empire must again face a real threat from the Moties as the formation of a protostar in the vicinity moves the existing Alderson point -- allowing the Moties to bypass the blockade (which was near to collapse anyway).
		They are unable to respond to the Motie threat as a result, whereas before they had a heavy battlecruiser and a cruiser heading into the Mote within weeks in the first book after a small probe arrives, they can barely muster a few small customs vessels in response to a potential full-scale invasion.
		The mutual mistrust between the aliens (called "Moties" -- the novel makes the reasons for this nomenclature and the title of the novel clear) adds great suspence, for just as the human hold some things back, it's clear the Moties are holding something back (indeed, a terrible and potentially deadly -- to humanity -- secret).

		The new race is called the "Moties" since their ship appeared out of an astronomical phenomenon called God's Eye and they originated from a tiny star in God's Eye.
		Soooo, a ship gets sent out to meet the Moties, and the humans try to learn as much about the Moties as possible while letting the Moties know as little about our own weaknesses as possible.
		And the plot explores the question of whether the characters are making the correct choices given all this, and what choices the Moties made when asking themselves the same thing.

		Fearful of the Moties' technological proficiency, the humans have sealed off their star system and posted a guard outside.
		Now the Moties are about to break free, and the Empire of Man is gearing up to defend its interests.
