As the title says, these guys are my favorites, and I've decided to expand on them a little. They were my first faction, and arguably my most single mindedly concerned with destruction, death, and plain douchebaggery. As some of you have probably guessed, they're the Krell. I shall go into several things:

Terran empire classification:

Relationship: Hostile

Threat to Earth, and her colonies: Extreme

Advancement level: Tier 8.75 B

Government: Theocratic monarcy

Makeup: Unknown, suspected to mostly be made up of the Krell themselves, and unfortunate slaves kept as entertainment in one form or another...

Biology:

Circulatory system: The circulatory system of the average Krell is many times more powerful than a human's, it is highly efficient, and beats a very low amount per minute. The heart is powerful, and can cope with both a massive amount of exertion, and the massive physiologies of these people.

Integumentary system: The skin is highly resilient, capable of withstanding a vast amount of punishment, hair is thick, wavy, and grows very fast. Nails are as hard as the skin, and are sharp. Fat is gained in cold environments, and lost in warm ones, sometimes very fast, this makes them resilient to both cold, and heat.

Skeletal system: Bones are extremely hard, ribs are sealed, and have been verified to withstand primitive gunpowder projectile weapons. Ligaments, tendons, and cartilage are durable, and hard to damage.

Reproductive system: Not much to say, most likely similar to the race they diverged from, probably compatible with baseline humanity due to the amount of prisoners taken in raids as "loot."

Digestive system: Not much food required, despite massive size, livers are highly resilient, and excellent at filtering out most known toxins.

Urinary system: Not much to say.

Respiratory system: They do not breathe much, and it is as durable as the rest of their body.

Endocrine system: Much more powerful than a baseline human's

Lymphatic system: Powerful, not much else.

Muscular system: Powerful, and durable.

Nervous system: Highly intelligent, very fast reflexes, regard chess as "one of the only good thing the Terrans made."

Immune system: Powerful, diseases are annihilated as foreign in short amounts of time.

NOTES: Do not engage with anything other than heavy weapons, most likely a genetically engineered soldier race that either revolted against their masters, or were engineered to be the 'children' of a race losing a war. Most likely the second, judging by the few parts of their myths we have interpreted.

Culture, and religion:

As far as we can tell, their entire empire is based around the appeasement of Ancestors, and the worship of a pantheon made up of 14 "Supremes", 4 "Ascendants" who became Supremes after great feats that saved the Empire, and myriad "Divine Servants." Any who do not follow this faith are rabidly annihilated as heretics. In fact, one of the main causes of routs amongst forces facing them are the disturbing battle hymns purposefully sung in the language of the opposition.

As for culture, they are entirely based around war. Every man is a soldier, and every other profession they disdain. This mindset, and their sheer martial skill has allowed them to conquer vast areas of the galactic fringe emenating outward from the twin worlds of Krellasia IV, and V. One is a verdant paradise, the emperor's summer retreat, and the other a world made up of vast megacities, and harsh, although beautiful, and slightly irradiated deserts full of bizarre, and always vicious mutant wildlife. These two worlds are regarded as holy beyond measure, and weapons that have touched their atmosphere are regarded as highly valuable. A massive throne made from the armaments of defeated foes is constantly added to, and it is the emperor's most prized possesion.
