I had this inkling of the Ocampa somehow becoming a major power and going on the offensive against the Kazon, but I just can't see how that would work, much less make for a compelling story.
Maybe if Suspiria entered the picture, but I don't know that this would be a good use of her either.
Plus, building off of the String Theory trilogy, which Kirsten Beyer wrote one of and already referenced in The Eternal Tide, I believe that established that Suspiria is dead.
But honestly, if anyone could come along and redeem the Kazon as antagonists, I have faith that Kirsten Beyer is among the most qualified. I could see it happening at some point.
