Roll 32Crawler: Crawlers are the most common Xer'Gi, literally mass produced from the Xer'gi lairs. To speed up their growth, their claws and limbs are grown independently then attached to larvae to complete growth.
They are lightning-fast yet expendable, making them perfect for wasting enemy ammunition or ambushing unsuspecting targets expecting larger foes.
Mook Issue:
Claws (+5 Penetration)
Biped: The bipeds are among the smartest of the generic strains of Xer'gi, with a visible brain that emits light through their translucent head. They have impeccable aim, quickly regenerating arm spikes, as well as blood vessels reinforced with a strange purple material that contrasts their green exterior. They wear armor over their chest and legs, leaving their arms free to operate weaponry and machinery.
Despite having a pair of sharp mandibles for a jaw, they can speak quite articulately but lack strong biting abilities. They are normally herbivores.
Mook Issue:
Alien Crossbow
Spikes (+5 Penetration)
BehemotH: Behemoths are massive, lumbering, and extremely stupid beasts capable of leveling buildings in a fit of rage. They have four legs each reinforced with ribs of green crystal and are tipped with red crystal claws. The head has massive green crystal plates as armor concealing a huge maw straight from the mind of Lovecraft. Two massive tentacles breach through the armor at the base of its neck and bear razor-sharp blades as well as menacing tusks on each end to draw in their helpless prey.
Its back is riddled with jagged spikes and thick green armor plates.
Behemoths have the unique ability to adapt following life-threatening circumstances. For example, if one survives an explosion, it will almost certainly have thicker armor plates next time it fights.
Mook Issue:
Tentacles (Grasping)
Maw (+10 Penetration) (+10 Penetration Depth)
BrUte: The brutes are a unique strain of Xer'gi, known not only for their strength and size, but their complete inability to process morality codes.
They have blueish plates over their crystalline skin, as well as large blades on their arms. Other than that and a difference in proportion, they look very much like a large biped with more armor.
Their armor gives a massive bonus to resistance, while their blades are highly effective melee weapons, despite the fact that they generally prefer ranged weapons due to their speed.
Mook Issue:
CrysPlate Mail (+5 Armor) (+3 Structure)
Jagged Blades (+5 Penetration)
(-1 Speed)
Commander Issue:
Powered CrysPlate Mail (+5 Armor) (+5 Structure)
Jagged Blades (+5 Penetration)
Elite: Elites don blue armor and wield all sorts of deadly weaponry. They stand seven feet tall and and dwarf even the tallest humans. Despite their brutal nature, they are quite civilized and can be reasoned/negotiated with.
Mook Issue:
Force Mail (Green) (+2 Armor) (+1 Structure)
Pounder Gauss Rifle (+3 Impact)
(Speed +1)
Squadron Leader Issue:
Force Shields
Magnetized Armor (Blue) (+4 Armor) (+10 Structure) (Impact Resistant)
Mediator Plasma Repeater (THERMAL DAMAGE)
(Speed +1)
Hawk: The Hawk is the standard alien air-control fighter. It does not excel at air-superiority, but in large numbers they make good cannon fodder. They fire generic +5 Penetration shards. (Armor +1) (Structure +1)
Falcon: The Falcon has heavy forward shielding, slowing it down due to the drag but also increasing its maneuverability. They are very difficult to take on alone as they can out-turn most vehicles. They fire generic +5 Penetration shards like the Hawks. (Armor +5) (Structure +2)

Sareesa-2-
"OK, so this... object draws power from the Fourth dimension or wall, or whatever? Could it be used as a weapon against said sub-dimensional monster/creature/thing/"IT"? Perhaps keeping it in this dimension thus allowing it to be killed. If so, I'd be willing to work with you in order to eliminate "IT". I really have no interest in fighting you guys, just pray my companions, the tactless slobs that they are, don't come and end up ruining the whole thing."
"The devices only work near It. It radiates some kind of energy that the Exalted use to power up the devices, which they use to strengthen themselves.
The one you just used was one that I managed to sneak away with, after they left. I was hiding here in the explosives stockpile until something happened."
"So do you think we can use them to defeat It somehow?"
"Not that i'm aware of. It has the capability to connect with the energy It radiates, but none of use know how. You'd need a scientist who can figure it out."The device starts to glow again. Suddenly, the lights flicker off, then on again.
"What's going on"
"It is near. You can use the device again, though there's no way to know what it'll actually do."
"How many of your kind are left here?"
"Not that many. We have a squad of 15 in the building, but most of us are trying to rig up the colony ship to work again. You wouldn't believe how big of an army they wasted... as if we could take It on."Gordon-6-You spin up the minigun again and fire. Unfortunately, your line of fire also resulted in hitting the ammo crate, setting off the four missiles inside of it and taking some forces with it. [6] The blast wave causes your engine to stutter before shutting of completely.
You look down and wonder why you aren't falling. Then you fall.
"Command, we're going to need another drop crate. Over."Rayn-6-You decide to yourself that if there is a large number of enemies left, you should retreat. However, you fail to define what a "large number" is, even to yourself, and end up suicidally diving towards the nearest elite squad. Luckily for you, none of their fire hits, and you burn every last one of them to cinders.
Tarran-2-You kick Taric in the head until he wakes up.
"Get up now you lazy son of a gun!"
"Alright, alright."While he stands up and draws his launcher, you take out both RPGs and fire them. Not only do you miss completely, but the recoil knocks you to the ground.
Taric-3-After some conflicts with Tarran, you get out your rifle and fire the grenade launcher, [6] landing the shot into a nearby building and collapsing it, [4] hitting the crawlers but completely missing the main force.
Kir'Zhan-5-Suicidally rushing at the enemy in a manner similar to Rayn, you manage to stab a behemoth, [3] apparently hitting a nerve as it recoils in pain and [4] knocks the brute off of its back. You then [4] steal the brute's gun and [1] try to shoot it but it flies out of your hands because of the kickback.
Zrk-3-
"So land some marines, darn you, I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP."
"I'm sorry sir, but for logistics reasons we can't--"Before you can finish listening, you take out your MAC gun and shoot a few rounds at the nearest behemoth, [6] but the shots bounce off of its armored carapace.

For Damage and Armor:
Penetration consists of bonuses to penetrating armor. If a shot is landed (Depending on a normal roll with negatives based on speed) then penetration is the first roll calculated. Basically:
Penetrate if: d6 + [Penetration Bonus] > [Armor]
Penetration Depth increases the chance of internal damage. A +5 penetration depth will guarantee severe internal damage if the armor is breached.
Impact is used afterwards, especially if the attack fails to penetrate. Structural damage is calculated by:
Damage: d6 * [Velocity] + [Impact] - [Structure]
The higher the number, the more successful it is. 10 is considered fatal to most beings.
For Wounds:
Brown = Bruised
Orange = Flesh wound
Green = Poisoned/infected
Red = Loss of function, non-permanent
Teal = Permanent loss of function
Crimson = Artery damage
Black = Permanently disabled
White = Missing
