Dhayut

Large, powerful arachnid race. Dhayuts have a massive distended head with prominent red splotches and large orange-yellow eyes.

Dhayuts are very aggressive and are highly unfriendly. They can also prove to be treacherous partners, betraying their allies whenever expedient.

They reproduce at a low rate, and thus their populations can take some time to grow.

When they are angered Dhayuts can become frenzied and temporarily insane, acting instinctively wild. At these times they are extremely dangerous, becoming totally fearless when attacking.

Dhayuts are also famous for their ruthlessness. They generally have no qualms about stealing, cheating or murdering if it furthers their interests. For this reason it is wise to use extreme caution when dealing with them.

The Dhayuts natural fascination with hyperspace technology has led them to develop the Velocity Drive ST3, an extremely fast and efficient hyper drive.

The natural habitats of Dhayuts are rocky retreats on Sandy Desert planets, but they may also be found on Continental or Marshy Swamp planets.

During the first invasion of the Shakturi ,the Dhayuts allied with the Shakturi in an insectoid only alliance known as the Shakturi Axis. Once the Shakturi were wipe out due the plague made by the Freedom Alliance, the Dhayuts lost the ability of ftl thus many were stranded on former colony worlds with no way to contact the homeworld. During the second invasion, they and the rest of former Axis members were targeted for abandoning the Shakturi in the first invasion.
