Race X

The Race X is a mysterious alien race (or collection of races). The aliens of Race X are some of the main antagonists of Half-Life: Opposing Force.
== Overview ==
Race X consists of various alien species. They seem to have mastered teleportation technology since they can teleport into Black Mesa and have installed at least one Xen crystal-powered teleportation device on Xen. Their technology seems to be almost entirely biologically in nature. In fact, they use living weapons such as the Shock Roach. They also use the Gene Worm(s) to terraform unhabitable areas for them.
The Race X was discovered along with its homeworld by the scientists of the Black Mesa when they opened a rift to another dimension other than Xen during their portal technology experiments. Since the location and the nature of the dimension was largely unknown, Black Mesa gave the designation “X” to the dimension and its inhabitants.
