This page is for an unnamed race of intolerant and aggressive species that threatened the human realm.
Biology[]
The species are enormous, hideous creatures of nearly 300 pounds. They ah e lanky, curved limbs attached to a large, bulging body covered with a pale, ghastly blue wrinkly skin.
They have a huge head with a large cranium, black, bulging eyes, and short muzzle-like structure, featuring a nose and mouth. Dominating most of the head was the wide mouth and above it a nose which was hardly more than two small orifices. From the mouth they had a pale, six-inch, pencil-like tongue.
These alien have a unique ability to go dormant in a vacuum, then waking up when they get into air.
History[]
At some point in the future, the aliens had contacted a group of humans and converted them into their religion. In exchange for power the new converts had to spread their faith to the rest of their species.
They then formed Fourth Order and began an armed conflict known as World War Five amongst the other human colonies, destroying those that did not follow their beliefs. Though the Fourth Order met their end at the hands of General Fenton S. Raver. Still the death toll numbered in the billions and one of five of human colonies, Menti, was rendered dead. Subsequently the United Nations disbanded their military wanting to forget the war.
A hundred years later the sacrifices of World War Five were largely forgotten by the current generation. A part of history from a bygone age. The human realm lived in relative peace. However the aliens did not take kindly to the annihilation of their human converts. They plotted their revenge, and aimed to destroy the human race viewing them a heathens.
Their first target was the frontier world of Theti, totally annihilating the world with an enormous armada, without warning until the planet was razed. No warning was given to the rest of human space as the aliens had carefully planned their invasion. Somehow they implanted a program within the United Nations Lunar Installation (Unli), that monitored all space traffic and communications in the human realm. The virus would prevent any space traffic towards the location where the alien's armada was located. In addition the implanted program would feed Unli false data that the colonies still existed and operations were normal. That way the invasion would go unnoticed until it was too late to act.
The other frontier planets soon fell. After Theti, next came the world of Tricana, Ogle and Kahn. The only remaining bastions of humanity was Earth and Luna, but even after the last colony world fell, the authorities on Earth were in the dark of what was happening. By luck, humanity old hero, General Fenton S. Raver and his wife, survived the attack on Theti by hiding in a bunker. As fate would have it an unregistered ship, an old Star Saber, and also old vessel that was once commanded by the general made its way to Theti and discovered the tragedy. The Star Saber while repurposed as a scavenging transported and crewed by two exiles, freed the general and his wife in hopes of stopping the invasion.
Despite being outgunned and alone, a plan was conceived to use the antimatter reactor of the Star Saber into a time bomb could be used to destroy the armada. The plan while facing sabotage by an alien intruder on the Star Saber, still managed to be a success. The entire alien fleet was destroyed though four human colonies were left destroyed.
Culture[]
The aliens worship a god known as Dao who they wish to spread his beliefs by forcibly converting others to his creed. exterminate everyone who didn't believe in their religion. They said death was the only redemption for non-believers. To that end they campaign across the galaxy destroying those that do not conform to their beliefs.
The aliens possess sophisticated technology like an implant that could hack into computer systems and were spacefaring, utilizing a device called a time distortion engine that penetrated the time barrier that allowed faster that light travel.
