Alrighty, I'm almost done with the animals and I'm going to be adding the none native life next.
Now, in addition to the none native life there will be three alien civilizations that will be present. However I have ideas for several and in the spirit of fairness I'll let you, the viewers, pick the three that will make the final cut.
The choices are:
Ceterians: Short, thin, and frail. Basically your typical "Grey" type alien. They reside outside of the colonial systems and have a distinct fear of the three human inhabited solar systems, and even more terror of the humans inhabiting in (heirs to the dark ones, they say). They use lightning based weaponry and light armor, but their tech isn't a match for the human equivalents. The specialize in stealth technology and are good at being unseen.
Rorornacks: Hailing from a small cluster of planets close to the colonies. These guys are bulky and tough, but slow as hell. They have a pack like society and love cold environments. These guys mostly behave like raiders and pirates and have some mediocre technology, yet can still put one hell of hurt on you if you let them.
Preservers: Ancient eco-preservation robots designed by the precursors to maintain the habitats of the planets they deemed fit to preserve. After the precursors disappeared the preservers continued their initial purpose, but also began to pick planets by themselves. Once a planet was selected anything not native would be mercilessly wiped out in order to keep the natural order. They arrive in huge numbers and have many different forms. Their technology is the same as the precursors and thus vastly superior to the vast majority of human tech.
Aguatoids: Hulking two legged beings with six tentacles for arms and a single eye in the center of their head. They are amphibious by nature and imperialistic in demeanor. They seek to subjegate whomever they can, but like the Ceterians, fear humans and the colonial systems. Thier technology is roughly the same level as the Human military (but not the special forces) and can be a significant threat.
Yaridian: Snake like species that has only recently achieved space travel. Cold blooded, love heat. They are surprisingly friendly to other species. They use an odd crystal based technology which is durable, but not overly dangerous.
Corpsers: A small leech like parasite that enters the dead bodies of various creatures and mutates them into killing machines and walking cocoons. They can generate massive numbers, and the mutations they cause are completely random. Can overwhelm planets in about a month if they are not handled immediately. All the aforementioned races above are afraid of them and will go out of their way to destroy an infestation.
Name the whichever species you want to appear in your posts. Reasons for your choice would be appreciated. Top three highest voted will appear in the final game.
