Torgoth Republic

Overview
Humanity looked into a dark mirror and saw the Torgoth. As a culture, the Torgoth are ruthless, belligerent, and pragmatic. They tend to avoid large scale wars against other factions and will negotiate when it suits them but have no ethical qualms against simply taking whatever they can. They have no issue violating planets to gain resources and slaves. The TSN has often lost contact with a Frontier World only to discover later that the whole colony was abducted by Torgoth raiders.

The TSN Locked World designation means nothing to the Torgoth, who will happily ravage an undeveloped species if there is gain to be had.

Battle Tactics
Torgoth starships are large, tough and slow. Smaller, more maneuverable vessels can exploit their sluggishness by maneuvering to a Torgoth vessel's rear, taking advantage of a gap in the ship's overlapping fields of fire. Only the largest class of Torgoth vessel has shored up this weakness. Besides energy beam weapons, their ships often make use of torpedo launchers.

Torgoth are ruthless in close combat. Aside from their three-digit hands, they are as dexterous as other humanoids. They often learn to skillfully wield a wide variety of weaponry. Their echolocation/infrared senses make them quite dangerous in low-light situations.
