David Cleary asked G.S. Jennsen:

I’m currently about halfway through Amaranthe III Resonance, and I’m taking my time (kind of savoring the material because I don’t want it to end!) I was wondering what happened to the recurring side story of the Kich arachnids. The last I remember was a battle with a hoard of Orc-like creatures sent to the planet (by Machims?) but I don’t remember if there was a final outcome. Maybe I missed the wrap up?

G.S. Jennsen You haven't missed anything. When last we see them, the Ch'mshak (the Orc-like creatures) are overpowering the Kich, and it's strongly implied that the Ch'mshak succeed in wiping out the Kich, or at least crushing them enough for the mission to succeed (extracting the valuable Kich webs from the planet. We don't visit them again, mainly because Casmir and ultimately the Primors must divert their full attention to the war we and the Kats kicked off, then...well, the rest would be spoilers!
