***Royans*** *are insect-like creatures in greenish brown shells covered with sharp ridges. Detailed descriptions of the creatures are rare, because few survive contact with them. It is a race which constantly evolves in a struggle for survival. This race consumed energy and bio-material from any sources, sometimes even forming a symbiosis. These sources can be ships and technology equipped with a central processor made of bio-material and even whole ecosystems.*

#### ***History of the Race***

*It is not known for sure where and when their civilization was born, but the Royans as well as the Rigellians are one of the original races and some data suggests that they are even older the other original races.*

The key planet of the Rigellian civilization is Royan-chi-nei *in the Dilgar system, but it is not very likely to be their home planet as the DNK mutations are so great that it’s not possible to find out the exact birthplace of this race.*

#### ***Interaction and Contact***

*It is very difficult to communicate with them, because they have both telekinetic and telepathic abilities at the same time, allowing them to get inside the minds and dreams of other creatures and cause them damage without physical contact. The Royans can also split up into parts and get inside other living creatures.*

*The Royan language is quite unique and practically incomprehensible for other races, because their speech consists of complex sets of sounds which no one has been able to decipher as yet. However, Royans do not need to know the languages of other races as they can use telepathy to communicate with them directly.*

*The use of telepathy allows the Royans to control their huge bio-ships. They are dangerous opponents, because they immediately attempt to destroy all of the telepaths of other races, including their genetic code.*

#### ***Society***

*The Royan biome is organized in a similar way to social insects. Every Royan has the same DNA which is very mutated. It is hard to come across Royans that are the same. The central nervous system is the Royan Queen that uses telepathy to control her colony. In the absence of a Queen, the Royans do not have any specific goals apart from searching for and consuming bio-material.*

#### ***Biology***

*Royan evolution has reached great heights, as they have a unique ability to emit electromagnetic waves and use this ability to affect the workings of any electronic systems as well as making a symbiotic connection with them. The Royans can spend a long time in a vacuum, because they have the ability to concentrate breathable atmosphere and only use it minimally thanks to their larvae.*

#### ***Lifecycle***

*Without outside biological materials, the final Royan species are just normal insects which don’t have much protection from external influences, whose goal is survival at any cost. The birth of a Royan starts with a larva that has a unique ability to go into deep hibernation for thousands of years at any stage of maturity. All Royans excrete a huge volume of gaseous Tritium, including the larvae, which are constantly surrounded by a gaseous cloud. When the amount of Tritium in the gaseous cloud declines, the larva matures almost immediately. The larva forms a cocoon, where the final form of the Royan develops. The species, strength and toughness of a mature Royan depends on the sets of DNA that the larva has.*

#### ***Army***

*The Royans do not have an express form of organization in their army, only separate classes, such as WARRIOR, HUNTER, SUPPROT and COLLECTOR, but in most cases, every Royan is a weapon and a warrior. The main weapon of the Royans are the rather sharp and very tough growths on their arms and legs.*

*The Royans do not have advanced technologies, but they travel through space by capturing the technological equipment of other races or by using the gigantic, organically grown representative of the Royan race – the Royan interstellar ships called **Ha`anum**, **Ra`atauri** and **Neru`ud**. The survival and movement of their ships is possible because of the unique ability of this Royan, as it creates an envelope (a gaseous bubble of Tritium and Helium) which causes a supercavitation effect between the two gases in front of itself and allows for the negative depth of space to be generated so the ship can move at an immense speed. The gas cloud surrounding the ship prevents it from burning up in the atmosphere of any planet.*

*Ships shell provides protection from cold, vacuum and deadly radiation and provides protection from any thermal, energy or laser attack and can be upgraded as well as learning from its experience in battle.*

#### ***Royan Artificial Reproduction***

*The artificial production of Royans has been developed by Wayspace in a top secret laboratory. Wayspace scientists managed to start producing Royans with the technical and battle characteristics that they required by irradiating the gaseous Tritium bubble containing the larvae with enriched Uranium and Deuterium. The Deuterium-Lithium mix made using this process leads to controlled larva mutation and allows for Royans of the right species and the right characteristics to be created and completely removes the part of their DNA responsible for psionic communication, which allows for Royans to be tamed to human will.*
