Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
With their unbridled aggression and ferocity, the klick have been the most commonly encounter external for Fleet. At first, they were thought to be a left over Sathar war beast but the Fleet Marines soon learned they were much more than that. Fortunately, the UPF and Fleet have only encountered the klicks in the distant…
The first n’sss encountered appeared to be a remorseless warrior species completely integrated with similar technology that created both the kroath and the magus. A n’sss is contained within a bio-engineered pod that stands 8 to 12 feet tall and weighs 800 to 1,200 pounds. It maneuvers about on a dozen powerful bio-metal tentacles that afford…
Researchers theorize that the Magus are simply a specialized version of the Kroath – perhaps similarly selected from various conquered races and similarly grown. Where the Kroath are brutes of fire power and battle prowess, the Magus (so named for the magical stealth ability) are built for silent death. Their armor is looks like exposed…
All contact with the Kroath species has ended in violence. All attempts to locate a kroath origins have been unsuccessful. It is theorized that the kroath are actually multiple humanoid creatures all genetically manipulated and grown for battle.

This species, though friendly and more than willing to discuss many different topics, remains silent about one specific subject – where they come from. For this reason the species is given the external or…
Blix Humans immediately feel comfortable in the presence of a blix. These aliens first appeared in the Frontier about 15 years ago, arriving in the outer rim worlds of Yaziran inside spherical vessels that appeared to use Voidspace technology. It immediately expelled a few dozen escape pods, then exploded in spectacular fashion within sight of…
Working on an idea to expand the Sathars and merge them with the Star*Drive Externals. In my new campaign, I am going to make the Sathars agents of the Externals (I am undecided about whether I am going to make them originally part of the Exeat/Theocracy or newly inducted). To start with, I want to…
Infection Counters, Nano-spores, and Exogenesis These are terms that used to represent conversion to a Strain Infected. Every token a person gains represents an infection by the Strain . It represents the number of successes a person must obtain when healing to fight off the infection. To fight off the infection, the character must be…
