Kralien Hegemony

Overview
After encountering several reasonable species, the TSN had the misfortune of encountering the Kralien Hegemony. They are a racial monoculture completely devoted to the worship of Amborax, which is either a deity or a pantheon. The Holy Scroll of Amborax is their primary scripture, which lays out how their society is to be and also the mode of being that all Kraliens should aspire to: domination of the galaxy.

They are intentionally technologically underdeveloped (the Scroll forbids the use of certain technologies) but they are very numerous and determined. The Hegemony poses a low-level but constant threat to all of TSN space and exists in a perpetual state of open war with every other species and faction.

Battle Tactics
In space and in close combat, Kraliens tend to throw themselves at their enemies in great numbers. Their short lifespans and rapid reproduction encourage this tactic. If a Kralien's death advances the cause of their religion and species, it is considered a good death.

An ideal Kralien battle is one where they can close with their enemy quickly and tear them to shreds with their claws. Individuals are quite strong, but tend not to wear armor. Life is cheap to a Kralien commander, given how quickly they can raise new armies. Besides charging, their use of tactics is minimal.

Kralien starships are minimalist in function and used in mass formations. The quicker a starship can be built to carry warriors to the next target of their crusade, the better. Loss of a single ship is no great setback, as a Kralien fleet will have many more, filled from bow to stern with dangerous fanatics.
