My pet theory is that they are fleeing from someone else (another species of a non-depraved faction of their own race) who were trying to exterminate them. Their motives don't parse otherwise, since they are biologically immortal and had interstellar levels of tech, so they had no real reason to fear damnation unless someone was actively trying to end their lives. This will probably not pan out, but my crackpot is dear to my heart.Biological immortality or not if you live long enough something is going to kill you. A few centuries or even millennia is nothing compared to eternal damnation.

You can't seal the World from the Outside when there is Someone in the Outside Who causes the World to exist in the first place
The Inchoroi seem to be exactly what they appear - a humanoid species who progressed technologically to the point where they could rewire their own neurology for maximum pleasure, at which point they turned themselves into a race of hedonist psychopaths.

Something like Bank's Culture gone horribly wrong? I like that idea very much.
We heard that TGO would have the moment in the series' strip tease where the g-string flies across the roomI think this was when TGO/TUC were concieved as a single book. She's still wearing the g-string, I think.
