[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Attitude: For thousands of years the human race has been waging war across the galaxy across hundreds of worlds. It was the Skrav that tried to destroy the Earth’s sun and hoping it ended the billions of lives that lived within the Sol System. The Skrav either destroy or enslave. That is their way. The only leaders they have are the warriors that lead them into battle. If the first warrior falls a second immediately comes to take its place. There are no elections, no kings or queens, the Skrav are not a monarchy or a republic instead they act as if they are a hive mind. They have bred the fear of death out of themselves. They are a collective consciousness of minds that communicate to each other through their bodies and smell. Some even say they are telepathic.
Technology: Their ships are very human by design. They need oxygen to survive just like we do. They use a cross between metal alloys and organics for their hulls and electronics. When they go to war they wear battle armor that covers their entire body including two smaller arms that they have on their stomachs or what we think could be their stomachs.
Backstory: Skrav technology is easy to reverse engineer for humans. Their starships use an immersion core to create a rift in the universe allowing the ship to physically enter a place called the immer (or aether as some would call it). In the immer the distance between point A and B is drastically reduced. It also eliminates the need for time dilation as time in the immer moves at a different pace then time outside. Imagine being able to walk through walls.
Their weapons are also very earthlike. They use rifles that resemble carbines and blades that resemble Persian swords. Their rifles shoot an assortment of ammo types such as projectile, laser, even sound. The Skrav seem to experiment with different types of strategies never using the same tactics
twice.

Present: Right now, they are under a peace treaty amongst the humans in the 22nd century, however, they are stocking up as well as they know that the humans will be attacking once the period of the twenty year peace treaty has ended. They are few in numbers but slowly, their weaponry and armor re become more advanced in order to resist the human's weapons.
