Thryce

July 13, 2011

Sex: Male
Species: Reptilia Chameleon
Class: Alpha
Affiliation: The Reptilia Droc Empire
Occupation: Warrior caste
First Appearance: Scavenger

 

Species:
Thryce is a Chameleon, one of six known Reptilia’Droc species. Chameleons, like all Reptilia species, are Alpha class. They possess physical strength, speed, and agility even beyond that of most other Alpha races. Common Reptilia traits include a long forked tongue which allows them to “taste” the air, and do a detailed chemical analysis of their surrounding. They also have superior night vision, and crocodilian jaws that can break bones, or tear through metal.

Other traits specific to Chameleons: the ability to change the color of their skin, and blend in with their surroundings. This ability is similar to the chameleons of earth, but refined to an even greater extent. Chameleons also posses superior agility, which allows them to have a unique fighting style of leaping, kicking, and flipping.

Profile:
As a Chameleon, Thryce was raised as member of the warrior caste, trained to fight for and protect the Reptilia’Droc Empire. Thryce’s skills in combat and head for strategy have made him the leader of his squad, “The Reapers”. But Thryce craves for more than the life of an ordinary soldier, and often acts brashly and disobeys orders in the name of glory. His ambition is frowned upon by his superiors, who feel that serving the empire should be reward enough, and see personal desire and pride as flaws of the corporate races.

Korb Drones

April 9, 2011

“The black shelled nightmares reached for him with chitinous claws, shrieking their terrible chorus.”
Here are a few examples of the many types of drones the Korb genetically engineer to fill their monstrous ranks.

The crab drone (left) and cleaver drone (right), both types specialize in close quarter melee combat. They usually ambush their victims. If necessary, their exoskeleton armor allows them to absorb a great deal of damage while they close in on a target.

The Sting drone is about 14 feet long. It can tuck in it’s limbs and use its long tail to slither across rough terrain like a snake.
It can also use its powerful hind legs to leap and attack a target with it’s venomous stinger and pinchers. It’s tail is equipped with a bio-graphed plasma weapon for range attacks.

The assault drone has vicious claws, a thick armored exoskeleton, and a pair of medium powered plasma weapons growing directly from it’s back.

The Korb

November 24, 2010

The Korb are new comers to the Nexis galaxy. A nomadic race, their entire civilization is migrating like a swarm of locusts from exhausted feeding grounds.

History:
The Korb were first encountered one year prior to the events of the story. They appeared along the Outer Rim territories separating the Conglomerate States and the Reptilia Droc empire. The Korb started out attacking Corporate freighters and Droc patrol ships. The scavenged the cargos and vessels for resources and technology, and devoured the crews for food.
Both the Corporations and the Droc attempted to hunt down the raiders, but they used long range ship that would disappear in the surrounding uncharted space.
Since their arrival the Korb have increase the scale and frequency of their attacks. They also demonstrated they have larger ships and greater numbers then first estimated.
.
Species characteristics:
An insectoid race, the Korb operate as a hive collective. Like the Droc, they are classified as Alphas and posses exceptional strength and speed. But craving more then their natural abilities, the Korb have turned to genetic engineering to mold their species into their own gruesome vision of perfection.
Korb society is made up of hundreds of different sub species, but the most commonly encountered are the fierce warrior drones. Ranging in variety of terrible shape and sizes, each drone species is tailored for a unique and dangerous fighting style. More about warrior drones here.
