Roll 33Crawler: 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)

---Players---
Sareesa-1-
"Command, this mission just got a lot more complicated. Might I recommend ending hostilities with this particular group of aliens and attempting to take on the sub-demensional monstrocity living on this planet."You hear mostly static in return, but you can tell that someone is breathing on the other end. Then, letting the alien go, you pick up the device as the alien quietly picks up a rifle and faces the door.
"I wonder how this works..."You look for a seam in the devices construction, but it looks almost as if it's just one solid chunk.
Meanwhile, you begin to hear rather light footsteps as well as something like breathing.
The alien whispers.
"Actually, they could be part of my squad. I'll tell them not to attack you if they come."Gordon-5-Hitting controls randomly, you manage to hit the "reset engine" button by sheer chance, and the helicopter's engine roars to life again. You take control again.
Rayn-2-Intending to cause carnage, you move over to attack a behemoth, and open fire. Both are shrouded in flames, but they merely walk out charred but seemingly unhurt. Looks like brutes have heavier armor than you thought.
Tarran-4-
"Son of a..."Deciding not to risk that again, you pull out your Reaper and start head-shotting bipeds like nobody's business. You manage to nail about 7 of them.
Taric-5-One of the brutes dismounts, and shouts,
"Stop shooting! We won't hurt you if you--"Too late. (7) He's already splattered all over the walls. Poor guy.
Kir'Zhan-5-
"I knew guns where useless"Continuing you assault, you attack another brute, this time realizing that he is telling you to stop and you do so. Over the sound of gunfire, he yells,
"Perhaps this wasn't the best way to introduce ourselves... sorry about trying to kill you, but the elites are so stuck up we can't get them to change their minds. If you can take them out then we can talk about the island."You look at him inquisitively.
"You came here for the island, right?"Zrk-1-You continue to fire, not actually hitting anything but forcing everyone to get on the ground for the time being. Although the behemoths do seem to have stopped, and the brutes have dismounted. You don't see Kir'Zhan.

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
