Silverstar Unity
Light Blue
The Khogog are a somewhat unusual race. Physically, they seem composed of a hard but decidedly organic black substance, with twisting horns or spires usually giving them a fairly sinister appearance. Occasional faint pink nodules the size and rough shape of a grape add to their alien appearance, though they're largely humanoid otherwise. They tend to be somewhat tall, especially counting the twisting horns they usually sport, but each individual is different.
Their appearance, however, is largely a result of their even more unusual biology. Khogog are actually composed of innumerable "juveniles" fused into a single entity, each about a foot long and very thin. This is why their appearance tends to be both organic on a textural level- it's literally the hardened, protective secretions of their components- and why each one looks different- each fusion is different, which can result in radically different horns, heights, and such. Food availability and other conditions tend to keep the mergings about the same size and humanoid shape, but unusually large, small, or bizarrely shaped Khogog are not unheard of.
The current empire came about from a fantastic omen- the primary reactor on their world began to burn with a silvery, faintly azure flame, as did several celestial bodies. Most were utterly uncertain of what to make of this, but the Almarch, after displaying immunity to the fires and preaching it as the choir of their race, seized utter control and began directing the people towards glory.
+2 Production - Adept at industrial processes. Industriousness and enjoying the heat, vibrations, and even sounds many industrial machines produce might explain why.
+2 Research - Despite not being exceptionally intelligent, make for enthusiastic and industrious researchers. Their unique perspectives or lack of uniformity might also assist with unusual solutions to problems.
+2 Special Projects - Perhaps as a result of being fusions of lesser creatures, Khogog take a great interest in greater and grander projects. The greatest of these inspire even greater passion.
-2 Loyalty Recovery - While the Khogog themselves are fairly resistant to damage, they tend to have a relatively simplistic damage avoidance response as a whole. This sometimes irrational tendency is of great annoyance to leaders, and isone of the issues with organizing the Khogog into large groups, but it does avoid some of the more serious problems one might expect with such a heavily industrialized, experiment-friendly race.
How's this?
