Some Alfentic (I'm so sorry) info gleaned from Dear Alf regarding relations between Glukkons, Vykkers, and their respective security forces:
They’re perfectly suited to their respective masters. Glukkons know that guns, pants and smokes are all it takes to make a Slig loyal for life, and Interns love having access to needles and drugs. They don’t think highly of each other. Show me two demographics that do.

Of those combinations, the only ones that really interact are Glukkons and Vykkers, and even then only because they have to. Glukkons and Vykkers are separate industrial families with their own interests. Sometimes that means cooperating, sometimes that means competing. Oftentimes it means using Shrinks as less disturbing business negotiators. Sligs and Interns also come from separate security firms and probably wouldn’t get along for no more reason than that.

In terms of intraspecific interaction in the Natives, I heard somewhere that there exists some tension between native-born and freed Mudokons. This is most likely due to opposing mindsets of "24 hour break time" and respect for nature and tradition.
The Soulstorm webpage says Abe is "ravaged, desperate and hopelessly unprepared - with three hundred hungry mouths to lead across a brutal landscape of nasty surprises." I can't help but interpret this literally (as in, an actual "exoddus"), which makes me worry that either the two parts of society came to a head, or there just weren't enough resources in the Monsaic Lines to go around.
