	Pak Protector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pak Protectors are by nature racist, xenophobic and warlike, inherently incapable of holding abstract moral principles and are ruthless beyond measure towards all Paks who are not their own descendants or - in the case of the most "broadminded" Protectors, i.e.
		The Ringworld was built by Pak Protectors and populated by Pak breeders.
		The Pak Protectors dwindled in numbers until they were no longer able to maintain the genetic purity of the breeder forms and the breeders eventually evolved into all the other hominids of the Ringworld that one sees in Larry Niven's novels.

	Protector (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The incident serves to underline the Pak Protectors' inherent racism and xenophobia, and utter incapability of acting by objective moral principles.
		A Pak is born, and matures into a Breeder, at which point he and she may bear children.
		A Protector has no motivation other than the preservation of his bloodline, and to that end the Pak homeworld is never free from war, since all Protectors are constantly trying to ensure their progeny's survival at the expense of everyone else.

		The purpose of the Protector is to ensure the survival of its bloodline, which it detects through its extraordinary sense of smell.
		Pak newborns who have undergone mutation (common because of the high levels of radioactivity near the galactic core) are destroyed at birth, owing to the difference in their smell.
		The odor of this plant is repulsive to an immature Pak or Pak Breeder, but at about 42 Earth years of age, a breeder who smells tree of life will perceive its smell as appetizing, and will be seized with an irresistible urge to eat the root of the plant.

		Pak Breeders and Pak Protectors are two generic forms of life in Larry Niven's Known Space universe.
		Tree-of-Life is a bush that smells repulsive to breeders until they reach about 25 Pak years (or 42 human years.) After that, the smell suddenly becomes irresistible.
		After consuming Tree-of-Life, Pak breeder forms (such as humans) turn into the Pak Protector form, which involves reconfiguration of the anatomy, including the acquisition of a leathery armor or exoskeleton, strong enough to turn a knife.

	- Chapter 6
		The Pak story was like the knowledge in the early Middle Ages of the Earth being a spheroid.
		The one human Protector we know of, Brennan, was a Sol Belter, an evolved, modern man, the product of many generations of civilization and science and imbued with the values of benevolence and cooperation that are part of all the great human religious and ethical systems.
		That could mean memories of the existence of humans and kzinti—probably of fighting against humans and kzinti in the caves—memories of aliens, of weapons, of war.

	Protector, by Larry Niven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Pak experience an unusual metamorphous when they mature from breeder to protector, and their society is structured in such a way that makes living in peace impossible.
		Protectors live only to protect their own descendants, and a protector without descendants will lose its appetite and starve to death -- unless the protector can find some mission that will benefit the Pak race as a whole.
		Phssthpok is a descendant-less protector who embarks on a disillusioned voyage to the Earth system, where he comes in contact with humans who have extensively colonized the asteroid belt and who scavenge the rest of Earth's solar system for resources.

		This is the part that worries me. If you are not using a screen protector, I would NOT recommend you leave your memory cards inside the slots as it seems to me there’s a chance the screen will become scratched or dented.
		This protector does a nice job covering the screen and does not leave the same side effect others I have tried.

	INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
		Nutri Pak controlled-release fertilizer is designed to release a controlled amount of NPK into the soil around the tree's roots over time.
		Carefully slide the top of the tree and/or protector through the "X" cut in the center of the weed mat, then lower the mat to the ground.
		PLEASE NOTE: Proper protector installation does not require the protector to be pressed down into the ground because doing so can sometimes cause rodent problems.

		"Protector" is definitely to be loved by those who enjoy not only the futuristic aspect of science in Sci-Fi, but are also amused with its insights into possible futures of human society.
		The Pak are a species of extreme intelligence, practically immortal, that have refined the concept of so-called Social Darwinism to its extreme.
		The Protector, like many other works of Niven, does not fail to surprise the reader with insights into not only the possible futures of our society, but also teasing the reader to scrutinize her/his own society in an unconventional way.

		A Breeder (or person of sufficent age of a Pak-decended race) becomes a Protector after consuming a root that contains the tree-of-life virus when they are approximately 34-35 Pak years old.
		If a Protector has no bloodline to protect, they either stop eating and die, or find enough of a cause to allow them to adopt all Pak and protect the entire race.
		Pak Protectors will seek to exterminate any other race it encounters instantly when encountered to protect their bloodlines/race.

	The World According to Allyn · Speculations on Pak Protectors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Pak may not have come from Pakhome–they could, in fact, have been genengineered Terran lifeforms, which were modified to be cannon fodder for some conflict.
		At the other end, once the Pak colony collapsed and the Pak-breeders were left to fend for themselves as their Protectors died off, there could have been some genetic swapping between the breeders and the native fauna.
		In some cases, such as chimpanzees, the Pak may have brought their genetic forebears from Pakhome–perhaps the chimp played a role in Pakhome society (such as it was) in the way that the Watchmakers had a role in Motie society, and the Protectors brought them along even though they weren’t necessary.

		Ve Francii byly pistole Protector vyráběny v ráži 6 mm nebo 8 mm a zásobník měl v závislosti na ráži kapacitu 10 nebo 7 nábojů.
		Ve Francii i v USA si pistole Protector získala určitou oblibu, velkých výrobních úspěchů však nedosáhla a dnes jsou zachované exempláře spíše ceněny jako kuriozita a vzácně se vyskytující sběratelský předmět.

		The idea that pak protectors would suddenly decide that thier non-sentient, esentialy helpless breeder stage is better off wthout protectors to look after them is ludicrous.
		The theory presupposes that the ringworld engineer protectors found the records of the failed earth colony and follwed it's path in secret.

		In Protector we learn that humanity is merely a mutated version of a larval Pak --- a warlike species from a world near the center of the galaxy.
		The aging process gives us a foreshadowing of the next stage of Pak development, but lacking a plant that supplies the crucial catalytic hormone, we are doomed to die as "breeders," never reaching the super-intelligent protector stage.
		The second is more interesting but less well developed; it concerns the nature of free will for a being so intelligent that it would never think to invent a computer, and always sees the correct course of action.
