Skaraan Combine

Overview
While only barely deserving inclusion as a single faction, the Skaraan War Corporations share similar motives and attributes and occasionally come together for decisions. Before the TSN came into prominence, the Combine ruled the galaxy from the shadows, selling advanced arms and technology to the other factions and maintaining a constant state of warfare between them. Advanced technology, careful diplomacy, and espionage kept this position secure for centuries.

Though many attempts were made by various War Corporations, the TSN has never hired their services, though some renegade groups rely on them for arms even today. The terms of such contracts tend to be much harsher than most customers first realize.

Battle Tactics
The Skaraan are arguably the most advanced faction humanity has yet encountered. Skaraan vessels can match their TSN counterparts in firepower, and the various War Corporations outfit their ships with unique systems, from cloaking devices to high-maneuverability engines.

Due to Skaraan physiology, most humanoid species will have an advantage against them in close combat. They are able to secrete jets of acid, however, so they should not be underestimated.
