To answer...

1. They're incredibly good workers, diligent and attentive to detail.

2. Yes, they are considered a rather smart race, though they tend to let their emotions control them.

3. They have about three or four times the strength of a human from earth, as well as vastly superior senses and reflexes. Their homeworld's a harsh one, so they needed the advanced survival traits to survive.

4. Trying to break an Aetanii is like trying to bend a file: almost impossible. Attempting to force them to work is like attempting to pull a mule, and the only way to get them to do anything is by threats against others. As stated before, they tend to let their emotions control them, so using other prisoners as leverage (no matter their race) is usually the only way to get them to serve somewhat willingly. Mental control doesn't work either: the Aetanii mind is rigorously structured due to their clan systems, so foreign influences have great trouble interfering. It's part of what makes them great soldiers.
