Scarran

Scarrans are reptillion humanoids from the Farscape universe. They are an aggressive species led by an Emperor.

Physiology
Scarran physiology depends on their breed, as there are several, and oneseems to be more human in apearance than any others (this being the highest caste, containing the Emperor).

They have an ability to produce massive amounts of heat from a gland in thier chest (the removal of which is usually fatal) and emit it from the palms of their hands, which they use in thier torture methods of other species.

Thier hight varies between different breeds, but an average height would be roughly 6-7 feet tall. In part due to thier advantage in size and part to denser muscle tissue (as most reptiles such as crocodiles possess denser muscle tissue to mammals making them pound for pound stronger) they possess superior strength to other species.

Culture
One aspect of Scarran culture is to incorporate other species into theor military forces or enslave them and force them into acting as engineers, such as the Kalish.

They often come into conflict with the PeaceKeeper corps (or as they are also called, Sebaceans) via their recent "aggressive expantion" into other star systems. Conflicts have included the PeaceKeeper wars.

Technology
The Scarrans, along with their Charrid underlings, have faster than light travel technology on ships. An example of standard Scarran vessel is the dreadnought.

They appear to utilise (as well as their physical arsenal) similar plasma weaponry to the Sebaceans.
