The Scarrid Race

To date, in all of discovered space there are only two intelligent species, and both races compete for the few resources that remain in the post-entropic universe. A cold war exists between the humans and the alien scarrid.

The scarrid are a tall, muscular hermaphrodite species. Their society is strictly heirarchical with princes and warrior lords at the top and scavengers at the bottom. The scarrid are at least as intelligent as humans and the two races have been sharing space and technology for some time, but communication between humans and scarrid is very difficult because the scarrid have no vocal chords and communicate exclusively using telepathy.

Scarrid society is brutal with little rule of law. The scarrid hunt and prey on each other and will take what they need if they can. The scarrid frequently attack human space stations and humans do the same in return, although neither side is organised enough or committed enough for a full scale war.

Brutal as the scarrid are they have strong loyalties to family members and band together in mutually protective clans. The scarrid never attack a clan brother and captains will come to the aid of a clan brother in distress. In scarrid society there is no crime worse than clan betrayal, and the killing of a fellow clan member results in permanent exile from the clan.
