The Claw

Many hundreds of years from now, Humanity proudly strides the stars with countless other species, expanding knowledge and pushing ever back the cloak of the cosmic unknown. Although hundreds of disparate nations exist among the stars, many belong to the colossal entity known as the Coalition. A star-spanning organization that unites these far-flung empires into a representative government that does it's best to serve the needs of it's many people. A great council of thousands of representatives oversees the governing of the galaxy, however, the Council is often paralyzed by it's own penchant for infighting, making the bureaucracy of the Coalition a tangled mess of conflicting agendas. Despite this, the Coalition has managed to create a semblance of peace of stability, allowing it's citizens to rest easy at night. When war came to the Milky Way by the blades of the hyper-violent warrior clans of the Nygax, the Coalition reacted, mobilizing it's monumental legions of soldiers and it's gargantuan navy to combat the threat. The Nygax Wars raged for two centuries, and saw hundreds of worlds rendered lifeless by endless warfare, but in the end the Coalition was triumphant, and the Nygax driven back into their own galaxy many light-years away. The Great Rebirth began as the devastated worlds were restored to their former glory over decades of hard work. Thinking the threat ended, the Coalition returned to the day to day affair of running a galaxy-spanning alliance. What the Council did not know, however, was that the Nygax were fleeing from a terrible foe that drove them from their own worlds centuries ago in terrible wars of attrition. After decades of peace, bizarre reports of living starships and worlds terraformed within months began to circulate about the Fringe Regions of the Milky Way. These reports were widely dismissed by Coalition officials as void-madness at best, and downright lies as worst. All this changed after Antiga. A prominent vacation resort and retreat, Antiga was a booming world of wealth and luxury. Then, Antiga no longer responded to any communications of any kind, becoming eerily silent. An investigation fleet sent to investigate never returned, seeming to have vanished into the void. A freighter passing by the Antiga System found himself being hailed by Antiga itself, a message that simply stated, "We bring Perfection to all, rejoice at our coming." The freighter sent the message out to a Coalition channel before vanishing without a trace. Fearing the worst, the Coalition assembled a strike force to bring Antiga back into the fold, making First Contact with the alien race who identified themselves as the Shapers. These strange beings claimed that they had come to 'Perfect' the Milky Way, their tone was full of pity for the creatures they addressed. The Shaper fleet, composed of thousands of massive space-faring organisms, attacked, disabling the Coalition fleet and boarding the vessels. These same Coalition vessels were later seen among the Shaper fleet with freakish growth covering their hulls, their weapons replaced with organisms that spat streams of acid towards their rivals. War was declared shortly afterwards. This is where your story begins, a member of a Coalition strike force sent to take the fight to the Shapers, their capabilities are unknown, their purpose uncertain, and their deadliness unquestioned.

The angular ships cut through the void like serrated daggers, seeming to slice the nothingness as they passed. The ships appeared to be made of a dull metal, but upon closer inspection it was apparent that they were made of flesh and bone, fin like structures with multiple valves that opened and closed in sequence, propelling the ships through the void covered the vessel. What appeared to be a gargantuan whale dwarfed the rest of the fleet, a single slitted yellow eye peered out from the front of the vessel. Tendrils of sinew dangled from it in the thousands, dragging behind it in the blackness. Multiple vessels of every make and design were scattered about the massive fleet, bizarre organic growths running rampant over their hulls. Ray-like ships flitted about their larger kin, lamprey-like maws constantly churning, luminous bulbs dotted their surfaces, lighting up the vastness of space. The seemingly endless fleet moved like a serpent, a river that flowed on into eternity. Four minds spoke as one, directing the serpent to a blue orb in the distance, the column winding towards it at top speed. They would fulfill their sacred mission. They would bring Perfection to Antiga.

"What the hell is that?" Asked the bewildered sweep officer as he pointed to the holographic display of the traffic around Antiga. Strange shapes were moving into range of the orbital radar, so large were their numbers that they blocked all other vessels from view. What appeared to be ships straight from the nightmares of the insane were quickly laying waste to the Antigan Defense Fleet, their ships literally swallowed by the freakish vessels.
"Oh god, their inside the atmosphere!" Came his desperate cry as ray-like creatures swooped into view, the sheer magnitude of their numbers blotting out the sun. They landed, clouds of dust thrown up by their mighty fins. Animals and people ran for cover as their churning maws doubled back on themselves with a sickening crunching sound, revealing their pink gums and throat. Freakish creatures swarmed out of the gaping orifices, first twisted things that may have been humanoid at some time in the past, now hunched over with their featureless head planted in the middle of their chests, their arms replaced with blades of bone. Next came horrid, stooped creatures that hovered above the ground, thick tendrils hung from their bodies, their several mouths mewling pitifully. Antigan soldiers rushed to the scene, autoguns drawn, ready to defend their home. The faceless things charged, their bladed limbs flashing as they sheared limbs from torsos. In the cities, Antigans fought in brutal meat-grinders with nightmare beasts that felt no pain or fear, losing ground every second to the invaders. The hunched floaters wrapped animals and citizens in their tentacles, dragging them off to unknown fates. Within days of the first attack, the government had been broken, Antigans fleeing aboard vessels that were either brought down by strange ball-like creatures that wrapped ships with whip-like fronds, or were devoured by the ships above the planet's surface. All communications had been destroyed, leaving the planet blind and deaf. All life had vanished from the face of Antiga, save for the dark shapes of the invaders, which thronged in the tens of millions. Strange fleshy spires were built, the very ground pulsed with horrid life. The four minds were pleased at the ease of their victory, soon they would bring the gift of Perfection to the Imperfect. After all, was it not the duty of those such Gifted to share their Art with all beings?



CHARACTER CREATION

STEP 1) Select a race.

HUMAN
The human race first stepped out into the void for the first time hundreds of years ago in crude oil-powered rockets that established their first colonies in their native Sol System. Humans posses all of the standard humanoid traits, with four limbs, a torso, a head, and a neck. Humans are relatively new to the galaxy, and are sometimes considered a curiosity of sorts by other more advanced races.
MODIFIERS- Humans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their race.

RAYLID
Raylids are human sized arthropods with segmented body parts like most insects. They have a proper head and neck that houses their sensory organs, they have no arms, and operate their equipment by thousands of hair-like cilia placed all over their bodies. They range from 5-8 feet tall, and can grow larger in rare circumstances. They “see” the world by tasting it with a long proboscis, they can determine colors by this organ, they also are eyeless. They have spider like fangs, and kill their prey by injecting them with a lethal dose of a powerful toxin that turns their preys’ insides into a soup, which the Raylids drink through their fangs. They thrive in hot, dry environments, just like the deserts of their homeworld of Deneb. Raylids are pacifists who try to live in peace with the galaxy and other races, but if stirred to anger, a Raylid colony will fight to the death, choking entire planets with their dead. A Raylid colony will never back down from a fight, continuing battle until either they or their foes are utterly destroyed.
MODIFIERS- Raylids receive the following modifications to their statistics:
+2 Natural Science Skill, +1 Survival Skill, +3 Intimidate Skill (this bonus only applies against humanoids and those not accustomed to a Raylid's horrid appearance) -3 Speech (against non-Raylids)

E'NATHI
The E'nathi are large humanoid saurians, standing roughly eight feet tall on average. E'nathi are built like tanks, massive trunks and torsos are able to withstand nearly any kind of physical punishment. All E'nathi have three massive hearts that pump huge quantities of blood thought their bodies. Possessing ten separate adrenal glands (humans only have two) allows them to ignore the effects of fatigue, pain, and fear for weeks on end. E'nathi have wedge shaped heads filled with interlocking teeth. When an E'nathi bites a target, their jaws lock into place, placing over eight-thousand pounds of pressure upon the unfortunate. Then, with their powerful neck muscles, easily rip away whatever is in their mouths. Like humans, E'nathi possess four fingers and a thumb on each hand. Scale coloration varies from deepest black to bright oranges and reds. The savage joy of battle is the only true love of an E'nathi, who are each part of one of the five Warrior Castes that each train extensively in one of the Five Sacred Weapons of J'hani, the E'nathi god of war. The Warrior Castes are listed in the Careers section. All E'nathi shun using weapons or tools they did not make themselves, and disdain the use of equipment assigned to them. Many commanders find it easier to allow the massive saurians to bring along their own gear rather than risk losing them if their pride is offended. The worst insult an E'nathi can receive is to be called a coward. Those that dare utter the word in their direction risk being torn into gory chunks by the berserk warrior.
MODIFIERS- +2 all Combat Skills, -4 Speech, E'nathi take a -3 penalty to their applicable skill when using gear not made by their own hands

ARCTURAN
The near-human Arcturans hail from the frozen world of Arcturus, where they have built vast underground cities built to resist the cold. Arcturans stand on average around six feet, with males being slightly taller than females. Their skin is pale as the snow that covers the surface of their homeworld, and burns easily with exposure to excess UV light. Arcturans have pure white eyes, a disturbing trait that ensures one can never truly know where an Arcturan is looking. The Arcturan Hierarchy is not a part of the Coalition, but rather a autonomous state allied with them for the duration of the war. The Arcturans are ruled by a Patriarch or Matriarch elected by popular vote. The leader remains on the throne until death, ruling as long as they are able. When the Arcturans go to war, they do so in style. Dressed in masterfully crafted suits of silver body armor and wearing Corinthian helms topped with great white plumes, the Arcturan army is more akin to a parade group than an actual army in appearance, yet they are just as deadly.
MODIFIERS- +1 Energy Weapons Skill, +1 Survival Skill, +3 Speech Skill, -3 Bludgeons Skill

NYGAX
The Nygax are a race of hyper-violent warriors from another galaxy intent on galactic conquest. It was not always this way, however. Once, the Nygax lived in relative peace with their neighbors, making living as space faring travelers. Then came the Shapers, whose incursion forced them to flee or face 'Perfection' at the hands of the freakish race. Piling aboard massive Worldships, the Nygax took to the stars, hoping to avoid their aggressors. Obsessed with their own survival, the once peaceful nomads became savage killers, tapping into latent veins of rage and violence within their psyches. The Nygax were determined to establish a new home for themselves, and thus came into conflict with the Coalition as they forcibly attempted to colonize the Milky Way. A Nygax stands shorter than a human at around four feet in height and covered in bony plates. Their spindly limbs bely the tremendous strength that a Nygax is capable of, each of their arms ending in a three fingered hand. A Nygax's face is insect-like, with mandibles akin to those of a crab resting at the front of the face, with a pair of blue orbs glaring out from above. When threatened, a bony sheath covers their faces like a helmet, leaving only their eyes visible.
MODIFIERS- +2 Blades Skill, +2 Bludgeons Skill, +3 Intimidate Skill, -2 Speech Skill, -3 Tech Skill

MACABREIAN
The Macabreians are a race of eerie black humanoids with elongated, almost conical skulls with a thin slash of a mouth filled with needle-like teeth. Standing at a towering seven feet, the Macabreians have long spindly limbs that seem nearly boneless in their flexibility. Macabreians have a gallows sense of humor, and often make dark jokes at the most inappropriate times. Suffering from a rather well-earned stereotype as bounty hunters and pirates, Macabreians are greeted with mistrust and suspicion. Their homeworld of Nox is in orbit to a nearly dark blue star, shrouding the world in almost utter darkness. The frozen surface is riddled with sinkholes, where the Macabreians dwell in vast underground cities. The Macabreians are well known for their use of the dreaded Fear Engine, a great machine that overloads the fear centers of the brain, causing death or complete mental breakdown in seconds.
MODIFIERS- +3 Stealth Skill, +4 Intimidate Skill, -7 Speech Skill (only against non-Macabreians)

HULHUXI
The Hulhuxi are a race of tall humanoids hailing from the storm-wracked world of Vesper, where dark purple clouds obscure the surface, and raging lightning storms make landing on the planet almost impossible. The Hulhuxi wander the violet surface of their home in great caravans, living as nomads among the wilds. When the Kommar Corporation discovered the great reserves of ore beneath the surface, they immediately set up shop, building massive floating factories above the lethal surface which teemed with hostile predators. Heavily armed mining teams crawled across the surface in great treaded vehicles, harvesting the material beneath. The Hulhuxi approached with open arms, welcoming the visitors with open arms, presenting the new comers with gifts of beads and religious icons. Since that fateful day, the Hulhuxi have entered the Coalition, spreading their beliefs across the stars in vast missionary ships. A Hulhuxi stands six feet tall on average, their maroon skin completely covered in great ritual robes and reflective masks that cover their faces. If one were to look upon an unrobed Hulhuxi, they would see what is essentially a purple-hued human with bright blue eyes and spindly limbs. Hulhuxi possess two fingers and a thumb on each hand, as well as the same amount of toes on their feet. All Hulhuxi are deeply religious, and worship a deity known as Valla, and seek to spread it's divine truth throughout the galaxy. Hulhuxi never refer to themselves in the first person, always speaking in the third person, calling themselves 'this one' in conversation. Ex: "This one is pleased". Hulhuxi are always welcome in whatever port they find themselves in for their good humors and tolerance of others.
MODIFIERS- +5 Speech, +2 Survival, -3 Intimidate

CHELICERA
The spider-like Chelicera come from the world of the same name, living in great silk cities they spin themselves. Chelicera appear for the most part like humanoid spiders, with multiple eyes and mouthparts to complete the image. Like spiders, they kill their prey by injecting a liquifying toxin into the bloodstream of their food, sucking out the slurry through their fangs, a method that only increases the suspicion and prejudice the Chelicera suffer. Their bodies are covered in fine black fur, which acts as one large sensory organ, detecting changes in air pressure and heat. Chelicera have four spindly limbs spreading from their trunk, each tipped with two fingers and a thumb. In addition, four legs splay from their abdomen, completing the image of a giant upright spider. Chelicera don't mix well with other races, who find them "just too damn creepy".
MODIFIERS- +3 Stealth, -6 Speech (vs humanoids), +2 Intimidate

CEPHRAN
Hailing from the water world of Cassiopeia, the octopus-like Cephran are drifters and scavengers, not content to stay in one place for any long period of time. Outside of their watery environment, the Cephran inflate three internal bladders full of a buoyant gas, allowing them to float a meter off the ground, propelling themselves by 'swimming' through the air with their eight tentacles. Because of their unique shape, the Coalition finds equipping Cephran agents and soldiers a nightmare, having to produce special weapons and armor useable for their malleable shape and grasping tentacles. Most Cephran keep a reserve of moisturizing gel on them at all times, to prevent their skin from drying out, an ailment that can result in a horrific death for the Cephran as they suffocate as their pores seal. Most Cephran are nomads, traveling the stars among other species, seeking their fortunes as traders or pirates.
MODIFIERS- +7 Stealth (due to malleable body), -3 Long Arms

HROVAN
The business-minded serpentine Hrovan are renowned traders and merchants, welcome in every port, able to supply just about anyone with just about anything. The Hrovan possess humanoid torsos with two arms ending in four fingered hands. Below their waists, their bodies taper into a long tail that the Hrovans use to communicate with one another in a complex sign language. Native to the toxic world of Ursa, the Hrovan must wear body concealing environment suits in atmospheres containing oxygen, which is a deadly nerve toxin to the Hrovan. There is little the Hrovan love more than bargaining, and the pleasure centers of their brains light up when they spy a potential customer. The Hrovan are well-received just about everywhere, and their trade fleets ply every known trade route in the galaxy.
MODIFIERS- +9 Speech, -4 Bludgeons
BANDORES
The Bandores of Murkuss five are a shrimp-like race that stands at three feet tall and their homeworlds contains 80 present knee deep marshes, the rest is a single inland sea.
The bandores have a speaking problem. Namely. They cant. They have no voice boxes. Most Bandores remedy this by constructing an artificial voice box and speaking by talking in their own language into it ( a language of whistles and keening hoots) it reads the language and translates it in a tinny, almost comical voice (battle droids from RotS)
The Bandores are a society that used clubs and blackpowder to wage war on each other, owing to the fact that the planet contains none of the cordite necessary to produce smokeless ammunition that had been in use on earth since 1880. Therefore a bandore is mistrustful of smokeless weapons, and believes them inferior to black powder, and are distrustful of all tech aside from their voiceovers. They live in groups of only 5 individuals or less and tend to shy away from family members giving then nothing to lose when the clans unite in war against another clan. They live off the land and as the entire surface in covered in water and mangrove trees they have an unsurpassed wilderness survival ability and incredible stealth

BANDORE MODIFIERS.
+6 survival skill -1 intimidate skill (as they are very short, at three feet tall) -2 close quarters combat skill, -1 speech +2 black powder weapons skill. -4 tech skill +2 bludgeons skill +2 stealth. Hardened carapace (the carapace can deflect solid slug bullets for a short time) sensitive organs (the long pointy antennae underneath the eyes take the noses and ears places, microdiet (they can only eat microorganisms such as krill in addition to any water plants) tailfin (the carapace tapers, than widens in a bony fin at the back. And allows for easy movement through the water. Air storage (the Bandores can trap enough air under their carapaces to last them a week underwater as they need little air in the fist place)

QUARRA
The frog-like quarra are hardy race native to the marsh-world of Nosur and have adapted to its misty plains and deep lakes. They are on average some five and a half feet tall, with round eyes bulging out of their triangular heads they look exactly what the terran frog would look like if it was bipedal, the Quarra are renowned for their love of both nature and technology. While the Quarra are a deadly race in combat they believe that their gods, Gorlar, Vulkaric and Tymanther, give forgiveness to any living being. They are the creators of wondrous technology and were the second race to make contact with humans, after the Veranids. They were the first documented galactic power, but have a tragic past that they share with no one but their closest friends.
The Quarra warriors have a saying, "Today is a good day for someone else to die!" but as humorous as these sounds, Quarra culture dictates that they cannot stop fighting until someone DOES die.
In the Quarra’s military aspect they forge their weapons, such as electrospears, swamp-swords and the vaunted laser-rifle in secrecy, giving no one the inner design plans. The Quarra are organized into castes, the warriors the smiths and the farmers,
The Quarra have one god for each religion, the caring and forgiving Gorlar watches over the farmers with a benevolent air.
The hulking and powerful Tymanther stands over the warriors, his mind the sharpest, and his strength the best.
Vulkaric-in-chains, the ever working. is the patron of smiths.
Quarra tech is the second most advanced in the galaxy, utilizing laser technology, and charged slugs.
The electrospear is a tall five-foot spear with a generator located down the haft of swap-wood. It fires a charge of electricity into the target. when the microfibers on the serrations detect biological tissue they send a powerful electric jolt into the body.
The Laser-rifle is a fabulous piece of tech. roughly the size of a carbine, it fires bolts of intensely heated particles of a substance found only in the gaseous emissions from nebulae
Unlike the human made THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser) which fires a sustained beam of light, the laser-rifle fires a short blast of light and uses the momentum to dissipate the particles located within. And make them incredibly unstable. Getting hit with a laser round is the equivalent of pressing a lit blowtorch into your skin for half an hour.
Their charged weapons form the bulk of their armory, simply being slug-throwers that fire the round through an energy field located in the weapon and using it to create a small explosion upon hitting due to the immediate cold fusion reaction.
(NOTE: Laser-rifles cannot be used by any race other than the Quarra because they never want the designs reverse-engineered)
The swamp blade is a glorified machete, armed with the deadly whirling monofilament wire that runs down the cutting edge of the blade. It uses a chainsaw-like engine to power the monofilament wire, sending it constantly whirling down the bladed edge.

EXOLIAN
The liquid Exolians are a bizarre race of nanite colonies that form into a silverly fluid akin to mercury in appearance and form. To provide locomotion for their forms, the Exolians were granted by their Yahan creators with humanoid robotic shells which provide them with movement and a way to protect themselves from foreign pathogens. Each individual nanite is intelligent to a degree, and converse among themselves over the span of milliseconds to make decisions. Strangely, the nanites are extremely vulnerable to diseases that most other races would not even notice. A breach in their containment tank almost always results in death as the pathogens present in the air ravage their liquid forms. Conversely, the nanites themselves are utterly lethal to living tissue, disassembling molecules with terrible efficiency before dying from the tainted air. Exolians are beings of logic, nothing else, and in fact treat emotions as mental disorders.
MODIFIERS: +4 All science skills, -8 Speech

Vernid: (by ineptus astartes)

The Vernid are an insectoid (insectomammal, with the internal workings and organs of mammals, including the reproductive organs) species with two arms and two legs, the have short antennae and green overlapping chitin plates constitute their exoskeleton. They have big, bulging black eyes that can change wavelengths to human-like eyesight. And are the most advanced race in the galaxy in terms of tech, and are some of the best technicians in existence.
The Vernid are not overly tall reaching only six feet at the highest, but all of them are gangly and wiry.
The grasshopper-like species uses their antennae for silent communication and moves them in patterns to communicate.
Unlike the Bandores of Murkuss Five, the Vernid find English almost the exact same to their verbal language. And took very little time to master it fully.

Tech:
The Vernid use plasma/electromagnetic weapons and fusion cutters to perform tasks from repelling a pirate raid, to fixing a broken down droid (what should we call service robots? Which I assume we have in the future) the Vernid possess a natural affinity with technology.

The desert planet of Syrule, which the Vernids call their home was the first to be discovered in 2012 and expeditions sent there by 2014 the satellite attracted the attention of the space-faring Vernids who where also searching for alien life but using jump-drives already when they arrived at earth they were overjoyed to see it populated but could not communicate with the ‘earthers’ after several meetings with earths officials and using pictograms, they managed to begin to understand the language and within a month had mastered it fully. By this point they negotiated with the earthers for trading, the earthers would trade their strange ‘uranium’ which proved to work perfectly in jump-drives and other tech. for the secrets of faster than light travel. With this, the coalition was born.
Now. Hundreds of years later, the Vernid and humans are still the most stable allies within the coalition senate and will almost always back the terrans (the planetary name was changed in 2018) on any matter.

Vernids are immune to the Space weird virus, due to their brutally efficient bodily defenses and can also consume most poisons with no adverse effect due to the same, as well as the nanobots they tend to inject into their bloodstream they have the most advanced physiology in the galaxy due to living in the 'time of thee precursors' {aside from the deadly terran nightshade that has proved to be highly toxic to all races} and can survive in vacuum for a short time and retain consciousness due to their pre pressurized innards [due to the fact that their homeworld has phenomena known as 'void storms, spacesick or brightsick. where the atmosphere dissipates due to the harsh gravitational pull of the planet's moon and leaves small areas open to the void.]they can survive in a coma for several days without air, but after that, they die due to air depravation)

the vernids also have several theories and secrets about the precursors that explain why sentient life, and any life at all in fact began to exist AFTER the precursors vanished has led them to be estranged by precursor worshiping races as the vernids claimed that the precursors and their gods were 'soulless monsters, preying on the living' why the vernid do not seem to list the precursors as living nobody knows, the only thing that they say is "like humans...but dead..."


Common phrases in the galaxy involving vernid:

"Nothin fixes like a vernid."

"the vernids are the best techs in the galaxy. Id like to see those extragalactics try shape THEIR ships"

"Damn! I can't fix this. Hire a vernid."

STARTING GEAR: Medikit, Datapad, laser scalpel, injector-rig, TFF (temporary force field), pistol


E'NATHI WARRIOR CASTES (Note: Only E'nathi characters can become a member of the below careers)

N'KAG-SHAT'N'HA
Masters of the G'y-ht'sh'ha, the dreaded "snap-sabers". Typically wielded in pairs, the G'y-ht'sh'ha is a long blade that curves away from the wielder, connecting to a pommel. The blades rapidly whip back and forth from their resting position, causing a distinctive 'whoosh' when drawn. A single touch from a G'y-ht'sh'ha can easily saw through a limb, and a pair of them wielded by a trained N'kag-shat'n'ha spells almost certain death. The N'kag-shat'n'ha are primarily used as terror weapons, appearing when the enemy least expects it, and bursting into action with G'y-ht'sh'ha whipping back and forth at lethal speeds, mutilating opposing officers with unholy speed before melting back into cover. Many foes have learned to fear the characteristic 'whoosh' of drawn G'y-ht'sh'ha.
VITAL SKILLS: Blades, Stealth, Survival, Intimidate, Brawling
STARTING GEAR: Pair of G'y-ht'sh'ha, Flak Vest

K'HAT-G'E-N'HA
Masters of the N'rit'gul-han, the exotic double-scythe. The
N'rit'gul-han is a long pole, around 6 feet in length. Each end of the pole is adorned with a lethal curved blade, each pointed opposite to the other. K'hat-g'e-n'ha spin these about, using their entire bodies in fluid motions that bring the N'rit'gul-han flashing about, sending dismembered limbs flailing off in all directions.
VITAL SKILLS: Blades, Survival, Intimidate, Brawling
STARTING GEAR: N'rit'gul-han, Flack Vest

H'SHE'T-N'HA
Masters of the F'cha'et-ga, the E'nathi long-rifle. The F'cha'et-ga is a long barreled rifle, often adorned with small trophies such as teeth. The rifle fires powerful Ch't-al rounds that explode inside the target with tiny needles. The needles tear apart blood vessels and nerves, causing near instant death as the target is often paralyzed, and soon dies from internal bleeding. The Ch't-al rounds are tiny, and as such leave only miniscule wounds. The F'cha'et-ga also uses magnetic acceleration to fire, making no sound besides a faint whistling, and creating no muzzle-flash, making them the ultimate stealth weapon. Entire squads of hostels can be eliminated silently and efficiently by a single H'she't-n'ha.
VITAL SKILLS: Solid Projectile Weapons, Brawling, Long Arms, Survival, Intimidate, Stealth
STARTING GEAR: F'cha'et-ga, Flack Vest

G'J'HANI-N'TH'L'N'HA
Unique among the Warrior Castes are the G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha, the berserkers. Their name literally translates int "the gift of J'hani", and the
G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha are the living embodiments of rage. Wielding twin H'k'k-ga'rul, the G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha charge into battle, wading into the front lines with murder in their eyes. The H'k'k-ga'rul are massive cleaver-like blades with wicked spikes that curve towards the wielder. Ritually working themselves into a frenzy by chanting and scarring their hides, the G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha rouse their blood-greed, and are now impossible to control by even the most competent E'nathi warlord. The
G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha must be deployed at once, lest their 'gift' drive them to turn on their kin. To awaken the berserk state in a G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha, a group of J'hani'm'ta-n'ha chant words that have been deeply engrained into the rager's psyche since their induction to the Caste. The words cause an intense emotional reaction; the E'nathi's body pumps itself full of adrenaline and anger hormones, blocking out all pain and fear. Many armies simply break and flee at the sight of a horde of G'j'hani-n'th'l'n'ha charging there positions.
VITAL SKILLS: Brawling, Blades, Intimidate, Survival
STARTING GEAR: Pair of H'k'k-ga'rul, Flak Armor

T'S'K-A'-LAT'N'HA
Masters of the R'ham-jad'g'th, a kind of high-powered crossbow. Firing quarrels enveloped in energy, the R'ham-jad'g'th is the main ranged weapon of the E'nathi. The R'ham-jad'g'th is around the length of a human arm, a cylindrical barrel is adorned with the arms of an archaic crossbow, with a length of thick metal cord that automatically cocks and loads itself.

CHARACTER ROSTER

Player: Mordoskul
Name- Q'woodra
Species: Cephran
Career- Infiltrator
Equipment- Target Beam, Combat Knife, Cloaking Suit, Pistol
Backstory/Bio- Born from a clutch of over four thousand siblings, Q'woodra spent his early years swimming through the vast oceans of his homeworld, and mingling with the offworld races in the topworlder pubs. The Cephran found himself fascinated with the idea of space travel, of a life spent wandering and exploring the stars at a whim. The only roadblock in his path was a lack of finances, but Q'woodra was not dismayed by this dismal fact. Signing up with a Hrovan merchant by the name of Grooda Tahm, he helped smuggle goods into the topworld settlements, earning enough credits to take him offworld. Working as a freelance fence and smuggler, Q'woodra made quiet a decent living for himself, avoiding the notice of the Coalition. During a standard smuggling run on Andromeda, Q'woodra was pulled over by a Coalition patrol craft, who demanded to search his cargo. Q'woodra complied, but suspected there was more to these patrolmen than met the eye. He was correct, the patrolmen were really members of the Muzza Consortium who sought to steal his cargo, a fact which was revealed when they tried to kill him. Q'woodra killed his attackers and fled into Jump Space, forced to abandon his run after the conflict. The Muzza Consortium then placed a ten-thousand credit bounty on his head, and has forced Q'woodra to lay low to avoid their bounty hunters and hit men.
Motivation- Q'woodra is in it for the money, nothing more, nothing less. If he saves the galaxy and makes a profit, well, that's just icing.
Best Quality- Q'woodra is dependable and loyal, always coming through when he is most needed.
Worst Quality- Q'woodra openly mocks humanoids, who he refers to as 'poor ape-creatures'. This trait has made him more than a few enemies.

Backstory/Bio- Terence is dead. He has been for centuries. He was placed in Cryogenic stabilization when he was 23 in the year 2013. Legally, hes dead. But praises to heavan dont say that to his face. Hes been awake for 10 years now, and hes more than used to his life as a soldier. He doesnt socialise, he doesnt even pay attention when people ask him how he is. Not to the grunts anyway. Terence was placed in Cryo against his will. He had a life, a family. He was happy. But he was forced to watch his wife and child murdered. He was shoved into a cryogenic tank. And sealed in. He froze with his fists pounding on the glass and a note on his chest. Written by the men who killed his family it said. "Dont wake me up."
Of course the doctors ignored the note, they were ordered to wake up all the frozen form that century, it wasnt as if he would survive. Not with that much head trauma. But he did survive and when the doctors woke him up his first screamed word that the current century heard from him was his wifes name. JESS!!!
Scince that day he has distanced himself from ordainary people. Preffering to live his own life away from the social circles of the galaxy. Hes afraid hell fall for someone else.

A member of an elite special unit for terrorist hunting in Britan.
When he woke up he decided to keep doing what he did best. Killing. Recently he has been approached by several members of the local government of his subsector and been asked to join a special unit. His memories of the old days strong in his mind he readily accepted. There were more people who needed to be on the wrong end of the trigger.

V-12 or Viden to his non-Exolian acquaintances walked into the hanger bay to see an arrangement of different species with their own specialties. There seemed to be a abundance of En'arthi, but it didn't matter to Viden. His mechanical body immediately approach the ship that this assortment of races were about to board. Another Exolian was nearby but socializing wasn't a custom to his custom even with his own kind. V-12 was picked for this because he was the most known Medic in this section of space and he had a reputation of being able to deal with combat. It was only a couple of hours ago when his ship was directed and escorted to the hangar. V-12 was usually picked for being a foreign diplomat's personal doctor but after he was able to single handily stop a hi jacking on a high class ship that held several human ambassadors he wasn't able to return home as he is constantly sent to different politicians who claim that would only trust him. But the collection of different species did puzzle the nearly inorganic being. His processors suggested several possibilities of why such a collection was created in the first place. It took a few moments to see that each was famous in its own right in combat or politics.

Terrence was cleaning his rifle at his house on a colonized primordial world that reminded him of Venesuela when he heard a knocking at the door to his cabin. He stood up and holding his rifle firmly in on hand opens the door. He is greeted by one of those strange vernid things. It walks inside disregarding the rifle pointed casually at its chest.

"You... *click*... are the one named... *click*... Terrence... *click*.... Blackwood?
"Sure, thats me. Who wants to know?"
"my... *click*... name is not... *click*... important"

-----------------

Terrence was walking along the sunbaked tarmac of the planet the Federation were staging this from, he had a rucksack slung over his back with his LMG strapped to it. His Combat Rifle, was cradled in the crook of his arm. He was looking up towards the ship he would be staying in for who knows how long. It was an immpressive piece of machenery and spacetech. He shook his head slowly, he couldnt believe he was doing this.

-----------------

*Thump* His rucksack his the cot of his roomhe sat down on the edge of said cot looking around the room when his eyes fell on a Quarran standing in the doorway. The strange froglike creature was looking at him with curiosity and with a strange sucking noise began to speak
"I am Juran... Plokoon... you are Terrence? We are fellow... soldiers. Good to meet you"

Terrence laughs at the strange little man. Not creully but the Quarran had always amused him with thier permanant inquisitive look.
"Yeah, I am Terrance. Good to meet you Juran"

With others in rank and file, Xytan was standing firmly at attention as the Commanding Officer, a Macabean by the name of Ois, was giving a short lecture on the basics of gear maintenance. A lecture they were given over, and over, and over again. They were all in the standard barracks of the CTS Pretty Hill. The walls were unpainted steel gray, and the room extended a hundred meters from any one wall to the other. Fold-out bunks set in the wall were lifted into the walls themselves, blending near seamlessly with the interior. The only note worthy objects were the small field kits for every soldier and the steel chests for gear and belongings. It felt barren and lifeless, so dreary for a Hulhuxi like Xytan. Around him, many different species were at attention, each in the pale gray and black uniforms of the Coalition Legions. Many of them needed specially designed gear to compensate for their sizes, and, after rank, had been sorted. Humanoids up front, Others in the back. In retrospect, it seemed biased by Officer Ois' preference in soldier, but it took too long to re-organize, and this lecture was OH SO PRECIOUS. Xytan's rifle was held butt down, just like everyone else, but he leaned on it ever so slightly, enough not to notice, but enough to relieve him. In-spite of himself, he sighed slightly. It was unbearable. When they could be studying reports of this new threat that had so many details left out for the grunts, they were studying how to field strip. Unfortunately, Ois heard it, and pointed him out:

"Well, Private. If you're so bored, then show us how it's done." he said with a slight sneer, the kind that one who grew up with money had.

Xytan nodded, and lowered his issued rifle as he sat on his shins. He preferred to use the rifle his mother bought him, a superior model, but he needed to know how to work the gear they gave him as well. He set the rifle on the ground, and pulled out a small magnetizing rod from his kit. He placed it on the six studs that held the frame together, and they came loose. He set the top plate aside, and began to pull the parts: Receiver first, then compensation rod, barrel, and then trigger set. Simple, compact parts that could easily be changed out. He unscrewed a small bolt in the receiver, which revealed the inner workings to all: The Bolt, the lock, and the lever set. He set them aside and he lifted the barrel, and plugged the bottom with a small cork. Then he reached to his kit, and pulled a small plastic bottle. He popped of the rubber cap and poured the liquid into the barrel. The acid would dissolve anything that wasn't the steel of the barrel. He set that between his legs to keep it upright, the pulled a cotton swab out and doused it with the acid. He gently rubbed the parts down, even though they were almost shining already. Once he finished a few minutes later, he reassembled the whole collection, and bowed his head. It wasn't good to show your leader what's what, even if he isn't the best leader.

Ois said nothing for a moment, then spoke:

"Private?"

Xytan looked up:

"Yes, most honorable leader?"

"Shut up and go to the mess hall or something"

"Yes honorable leader."

The blades criss crossed back and forth, sparking off one another as the two squat Quarrans bounded and jumped around a wide arena cordoned off by stones in a circle. Juran was big for a Quarran, a giant amongst his kind, nearing six feet tall, but by other species standards he was still small. He and another Quarran leapt around the arena, swapping blows off of their unique swamp blades whose monomolecular blades whirred quietly. Each was a master of this martial art which involved leaping and circling with the blades and striking often while preforming acrobatic feats that other species could only dream of called Maura' graw by the native Quarrans.

Finally, the two collided, Juran sending the other to the ground with a midair shove of his wide foot. The other Quarran landed on his back with a croak and Juran landed on top of him, straddling the other being with his long legs. He pointed the blade at the other Quarran's throat and held it there for a moment.

"Aya porgun." The prostrate Quarran said, submitting to Juran. Juran sheathed the blade on his back and helped the other creature up with a pat on the back.

"You have done well today Morshug, but today you have died, perhaps tomorrow you will have the honor of killing me." Juran said as he helped the other Quarran up.

"You say that every day, Juran, but I have yet to have bested you." The other Quarran replied stowing his own blade.

"By the will of Tymanther, you may yet do so, but he has not willed it today." Juran said simply, the other Quarran made a croaking noise that any other species wouldn't have known was laughter.

"I suppose--" He began before he turned to see a large Quarran in armor and honor cloths adorned to his apparel approach, the Quarran had many scars on his arms and face. The two Quarran soldiers in front of him bowed out of respect.

"Commander Tolmar, what can I do to serve you today?" Juran asked.

"The Coalition is asking for warriors for the good war. The High One has asked me to pick a soldier from my ranks and present him to the coalition for special duties. You are going to fight the good war Juran, be happy for you gain much honor for your ancestors." The big Quarran croaked. Juran bowed again.

"I am honored by your choice Commander." He said.

"Good, gather your belongings and report to port in two hours. Tymanther give you a mighty death." The Quarran commander said banging his chest with clenched fist, an action which was reciprocated by Juran and Morshug. The commander left and then Morshug turned to Juran.

"If there is one of us who deserves to fight the good war, it is you Juran, may Tymanther give you a mighty death, and may Vulkaric guide your blows." He said bowing and taking Juran's right arm in his own in a firm grip. Juran reciprocated the move, thanked his friend and went to gather his things. He made his obeisance to the three Quarran gods at the shrine in the military encampment and reported to the port at his ordered time.


-------------------------------------

Juran looked at the human warrior, he'd seen humans before, they were among the bandits that attacked his village before he had become a soldier. He bowed to the soldier, taking his right arm in a firm grip as he did so.

"It is good to meet a fellow warrior as well. I look forward to fighting the good war with my comrades." Juran said simply and walked past Terrance to organize his own things.

He brought out the long, broad, silver Swamp blade and placed it on a bench beside the bunk, taking a cloth and a strange tool Terrence had not seen before and began to either polish or maintain the blade, Terrence could not be sure. Juran croaked quietly to himself as he did this, humming a soldier's song of his home swamp as he worked diligently with his fat fingers.

Terrence sat back down on his cot, calmly organising his gear. he diddnt have much, two pairs of clothes, a pair of boots, his exo suit, visor, rifle, LMG, ammunition a long bladed coldsteel knife and three custom built grenades. A medkit had also been issued to him but he nearly threw the damn thing in the recycler. His enhanced metabolism and healing capabilities outstripped anything the medkit could do for him. He flicked his long braid of dark brown hair of his shoulder. It bugged him sometimes but the damn thing reminded him of home so he left it.

He diddnt talk to the Quarran, he diddnt need to. They were soldiers, they both knew the value of silence. He stripped his rifle down and oiled it. The acids used by the military wernt his style. He preferred simple gun oils. The smell was like a balm to him and his weapon hadnt jammed yet.

He heard a buzz and looked up at what appeared to be a speaker.
{All strike team personell report to the briefing room immediatly}

Terrence sighed gently and refitted his rifle together. Leaving it on his cot next to his LMG he heads to the briefing room without a word to his Quarran compatriot. He diddnt need to, the wet slaps of the Quarrans feet following him made it obvious that the soldier knew he was needed.

-prologue-

Sergeant First Class Tennisk Vann stumbled out of the beat-up shuttle that had just touched down on the hanger floor, it’s sides scarred by acid pitting and deep claw marks adorning it’s hull.
The lightly smoking Vernid regarded the weapons being lowered all around him, the troops seem to have been expecting a shaper.
Tennisk really did not care, he only wanted to sleep, a nice rest.
Apparently it was not to be.
A man with medals-galore strode up, a human in the fleet’s colors, an admiral.
Tennisk, ‘32nd Galactic Marines’ groaned inwardly at the thought of yet another awards ceremony.
“Sergeant Vann?” asked the admiral.
Tennisk straightened and saluted “Yes Sir.”
The admiral motioned the Vernid to follow. “that was some impressive work you did there.” Said the Admiral, motioning to the pieces of junk and flesh several miles away form the hanger bay of the Deathless.
“I do my best sir.” Said Tennisk as the smoke that was coming off of his body armor began to lessen in intensity.
“Good to hear it lad.” Said the officer, “We are need of your skills in a Strike Team, your species’ unparalleled understanding of Technology has led us to believing that you should be selected for the role of technician.”
Tennisk was a little taken aback by this, it was not everyday that some ‘Jarhead’ was given the chance to hack it in a commando team.
“It would be a great honor to join any strike team you had in mind sir.” Said the Vernid.
“Alright, pack your things, say your goodbyes and meet me down here in 0200 hours.”
Tennisk nodded, even through this meant less sleep at the moment, shuttlesleep tended to be easier for him than bunking
********************^^^^^+^^^^^****************************
Tennisk Vann opened his yes and stood up as the shuttle landed in the hanger bay of The Shining Dawn. The Vernid grabbed his blastgun, combat blade, Sender of Nine and his helmet and stepped out into the hanger bay, he would now just have to find his quarters.

The way I understand it there are drugs and surgeries that the galaxy has that can enhance the natural healing capabilities of the patient. Terrence has undergone many of these surguries and has ingested a powerful cocktail of these drugs for many years bring his pain threshold and natural healing capabilities to the point where medpacks are almost obselete for him. Think of this as my version of a medkit.

and no just one LMG with specialist ammo that I may not be able to replenish frequently

Somewhere in warp space



The door to R-27’s lab slid smoothly open, and a figure walked in. R-27 turned round to see who the visitor was, and was surprised to see X-19, lead scientist at the Xylan Prime research lab where he was currently working.

“Professor 27,” X-19 synthetic voice said in its smooth mono tone, “You must report to the space port at 10:00 tomorrow morning. You are being assigned to a military strike force as their lead scientist. It will be your duty to study the foes they are up against, as well as providing them with new technology and strategies to combat the aliens. You may also be involved in other duties; they will be explained to you as they arise. That is all.”

R-27 nodded in acknowledgment, there was no need for him to reply. He knew what he had been instructed to do and that was all that was needed. Exolians had no time or need for socialising between themselves, and had difficulty recognising the need for it between other species.

R-27 was the twenty seventh colony birthed out of batch R and had trained as a scientist from an early age. Logic and deduction came easily to him and he had excelled in his field. Exolians always used alphanumerical designations between themselves, but each also had a ‘name’. These ‘names’ were used when they communicated with other species. Apparently it makes them feel more comfortable than the designation codes. R-27’s ‘name’ was Arastrax.

He finished off the spectral analysis he was performing, filed the results, and made his way to his quarters. His quarters were furnished in a modern style, brushed aluminium and glossy black stone. In one corner was a fish tank containing specimens of many exotic species. Galan Water Dragons, Halak Aqua Birds, Terran Eels, even a Ratharanti Acid Fish. Arastrax watched them sometimes, he had written a paper on their behaviour, he liked his fish.

He gathered up his things, packing them into a large black case and then began to think about his assignment. A scientist with soldiers, it sure would be interesting.

within the cult of the Soul Decievers

think the first one's body with the second one's head.


Viden just arrived at infirmary to notice that there was a lack of Exolian doctors. Not good. Was the only thought the collection of micro organism's agreed on. Exolian combat medics and doctors are the best since the equipment that most of its new colleagues needed were in a stationary state where Exolian carried the equipment they need within their bodies. As well as Exolians had precision cuff-links giving them the steadiest hands in the galaxy, a broken cuff-links would mealy drop them to a human surgeon's level of steadiness. Viden was equipped with a prototype right hand which was all that he needed in extreme surgeries. Viden walked out of the room processing the risks that each doctor will bring to their patents.
viden decided to challenge his new right hand with some shooting practice. He picked up the standard issue Exolian pistol given to all combat medics on his homeworld. It gave up power for precision and a built in silencer. He lifted the small weapon and shot seven times in a poor form to see his accuracy has only a .7% error in a control environment. It then took the proper stance to find his accuracy has only .23% error. A message was sent to his internal device. (think like a hard drive in a computer.) Go to briefing room. The mechanical body marched in perfect posture and matched speeds to quickly and efficiently dodge incoming traffic. It sat down between two different beings. A Human and a Quarra

Bis' Tovias was out of place amongst the strike team. After the debut of his pilot key and skills in a mech, his superiors had deemed him worthy of this "Prestigious" position. Idiots! Half of this team would have been able to learn to use the key given a few weeks of training. Instead they tried teaching him to shoot. That was a failure. Until they had him practicing in a mech, despite it being clunky human tech he got close to a perfect score. Then they proceeded to tell him he wouldn't be given a mech to pilot during the mission, it would be too noticeable for a strike team. When he asked why he was even here then, they told him his expertise might be needed anyway then waved off. He decided he'd have to tweak the key before mission to broaden it's capabilities to more than mech's now.

He'd been given names and basic profiles of each member of the strike force. He initially thought he might find a friend in the Exolian, Arastrax. Unfortunately he had no idea that his race was so anti social, speaking only when necessary. After that failure he tried speaking to La' Yonthar, an Arcturan like himself. She was a psychopath. He never said it to her face, mostly because she was sharpening her knife during the conversation and babbling about her years as a maimer. They were all killers! Tovias had no idea why the hell he was here, he was a mech engineer, not a soldier. Any attempt to clear up this little issue was ignored by everyone. He was doing it for the good of the galaxy, they said. Screw the galaxy! All Tovias wanted to do was go home to his family, his nice home, his stable job he had a passion for. What would he be to this group of killers anyway, a liability? They'd likely abandon him after they realized he could hardly aim a gun outside of the cockpit.

Nice work there, guys. Heh, looks like Bis' will get along just fine with the rest of the strike team, which is mostly composed of ex-cons and soldiers of fortune.
