Well, since the Farscape comics started we've had, well, one main villain to deal with - Roiin. The bounty hunter shadowed our crew at first until Crichton stumbled upon him in an Unrealized Reality then, when he got back, decided to go after him.
Of course this is still an ongoing storyline. We know Roiin was sent after Deke - by who and why are still unknown (also he was tracking Deke directly after the Peacekeeper / Scarran conflict, more or less from his birth - someone must have known about Deke from the off, or predicted him).
But now we have an even more sinister threat, introduced at the same time in the Ongoing and also in Scorpius' own comic - the Grennij and the Kkore.
A gateway to "grey space" opens once every 25 cycles, allowing the Kkore through. Scorpy says that most of what is known about them is mere rumour. However, this time, they've sent through the Grennij - their underlings, most likely - to conquer the UTs for them. They've already made a pretty good start going after the Pilots, and their numbers are impressive. The timing also allows them to take advantage of the disarray of the Peacekeeper and Scarran forces, as well as the aftermath of the Whale'an virus.
Of course, even though the weaponry and ships they use is that of the Kkore, the Kkore themselves are going to be a lot meaner.
So, are we beginning to see another evil super-race, like the Scarrans, who control the Grennij in a similar manner to the Kalish/Charrids? Will this storyline be the main focus of the Farscape comics? Are they the ones who hired Roiin (doubtful)? Thoughts etc.
