Kralien

Kraliens bear resemblances to Terran simians but have internal organs and carapaces more similar to those of large insects, including an open circulatory system. Their clawed hands bear two thumbs on either side of a large central finger. Having evolved (it is believed) on a massive planet with high gravity, Kraliens are short and stocky but have incredible strength and are thus deadly with their hands.

They have short lifespans (20 earth years) and a rapid reproductive cycle, allowing them to sustain incredible casualties indefinitely. Their industry is also based on this principle, churning out fleets upon fleets of minimum-tech spacecraft for their use. They have rapid learning periods early in life where they internalize information at super-genius level, but they quickly lose this neuroplasticity.

To call Kraliens fanatical is to undersell them. A Kralien will do what it knows with perfect, furious, righteous fervor, seeking to glorify its beliefs  in life and death. Very few are captured alive because they never surrender and bear suicide implants in their brains from birth. They speak in deep, gruff voices.
