Badgers

Created by: Jay P Hailey
Appearance: Starbase 600 Game USS Urafiki
Number of Members: Several billions on all worlds.
Nature of Members: Anthro Badgers, about 300 to 400 pounds of muscle, fur, and occasional mean.
Organization: Family and clan, loosely. Badgers are firm individuals and individualists.
Government: Barely. Forms differ but it results in strong Badger rules no matter the formal name the government works under. However, even the strong man bows when the people have bitten.
Culture: Highly advanced, around a preference for options getting physical. They have many popular schools of art, music, and entertainment, all of which are snarled and bitten over.
Game Role: Something interesting
World Role: That life thing.
Relative Influence: Minor, formerly wrapped up in an all consuming war.
Public or Secret?: Public
Publicly Stated Goal: Not be eaten by Sneks, or anyone else.
Relative Wealth: Several planets, a second rate stellar player.
Race Advantages: Badgers are physically tough. They handle the rough and tumble of being Badgers easily, the kind of mauling that would leave the average Humanoid injured, possibly needing stitches, maybe in need of traction on a bad roll.
Special Abilities: Psi Null -- Badger brains work on a different wavelength so to speak. They are near impossible for telepaths such as the Ane to talk to without close physical contact and a great deal of effort, or SCIENCE devices.
Race disadvantages: They are defensibly aggressive as a first reaction. This is not always to their advantage.
Relations: Federation -- They stopped a war that no one saw a way to stop. They are giddy about it.
Vargr Extants -- No opinion yet. The Vargr are close and about to become an issue.
Pythonmo -- Again no opinion, but the scary psionic serpents are not likely to be seen favorably with the Sneks having poisoned the well.
Area of Operation: Two primary locations. Badger World (-10.27/-17.4) a tech 11 outpost of the late Badger/Snek war.Baggazoku Alliance (-11.9/-16 position of Gaaba) Tech 14 multi planet alliance.
Headquarters Location: Gaaba -11.9/-16 Baggazoku Alliance
Public Face: Don't try anything, I'll rip your face off. Now let's be friends.
Notable Members: Bleppity Bogah & Sliminity Sloragah: the hosts of "Snarl Counter-Snarl" a popular news commentary program on the Badger World
Tilly Schrobu: Commander of the frigate Yellow Flower, now an exchange officer with the USS Urafiki
