DESCRIPTION
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, said galaxy was ruled by a race of four-armed aliens called the Lazax. Blah blah blah they were destroyed, and then Lo and Behold! they showed up again, but this time they were cybernetic monstrosities! They now wish to take their original place as the rulers of Mecatol Rex. The other races, including the Winnu, the caretakers of Mecatol Rex, aren't so sure these be the right guys for the job. For one, they're pretty scary. They're basically the Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation. And you don't want them for a boss, unless you really, really are all about belonging to a very homogenous group of cyborgs.
He may look like a boy, but he's more machine than man now.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
|
Dreadnoughts only cost 4 (instead of 5).
Your Dreadnought units recevie +1 during Space Battles, and your Ground Forces receive +1 when attacking in Invasion Combat. You start with one extra Command Counter in your Strategy Allocation area. Okay, the Special Abilities don't really seem THAT spectacular compared to other races. But keep reading. By the end of this page you'll realize how scary these guys can be! |

STARTING UNITS
1 Space Dock
1 Carrier
5 Ground Forces
1 Dreadnought
3 Fighters
1 PDS
Convinced yet? Only one Carrier but (spoiler alert) you start with Stasis Capsules and a Dreadnought. Not too shabby. And 5 Ground Forces? Holy 5th Wheel Batman! And three fighters to defend it all. Not too shabby a starting force. You may find it odd that a race that focuses so much on Dreadnoughts doesn't have an Admiral. Be glad, for these guys are still going to get a lot scarier.

I have a flame thrower, a flashlight, and a torque wrench at the end of my arm. But I can't undo my zipper.

RACIAL TECHNOLOGY
Dreadnought Invasion Pod - Cost: 2 - Your Dreadnoughts may now carry 1 additional Ground Force Unit.
Inheritance Systems - When researching Technology using the Technology Strategy card (I know, the card says Trade, that's a typo) you may spend 2 additional resources to ignore the Technology's prerequisites.
Ho. Ly. Crap. I mean, ok, Invasion pods are cool. But Inheritance Systems? These guys can research anything for a little extra cash! How can this not scare you? These guys can get ANY tech in the game for two extra Trade Goods!

HOME SYSTEM
Clearly these guys think they are the center of the universe. I mean they named their planet 0,0...wait a sec. 5 production? No influence, whatever, but they also start with a high production planet! Can they be stopped?
TRADE AGREEMENTS
Oh, yeah. People don't like them. Only a 1 and a 1 for trade agreements. Still, some people will trade with you simply so you don't go after them.

MOTHER SHIP
0.0.1 - Sustain Damage; Cost 11; Battle 3 dice at 5; Move 1; Capacity 2; When this ship is present, all hits from your Flagship and Dreadnoughts must be taken by opposing non-fighter ships (if able).
This ship is just the poo-flavored icing on the mud cake. These guys are tough. But fun to have in the game.
