Can't remember the title/author or how the story finished - I was a schoolboy when I read it.
Therer was a galaxy wide war going on and this sleepy little out-of-the-way planet is used by Earth HQ as a prisoner of war camp, the enemy have 'brachs' instead of arms or legs and have a varied size depending on their role (like dogs can be a poodle or Great Dane but are still dogs) , they number several thousand but controlled by a few hundred Terrans
For some reason the planet is then forgotten and story jumps forward a few thousand years
Now we have various Barons with castles and teams of swordsmen but the main weapons as used by all in the tribal wars are selectively bred aliens, some are used as 'riders' ,some as 'smashers' (Blue Horrors?) and lots just as spear carriers.
In the midst of all this a spacefleet lands and its the enemy aliens , they use specially bred humans (who are all built like Arnie) for their fighting and big battles break out all over the prison world.
Ring any bells with anyone please ?
