Seltorian: Difference between revisions

They were just one of the many species conquered and ruled by the Tholians in Bode's Galaxy. However they eventually managed to earn the position of most-trusted-race status within the [[Tholian]] Will. This allowed them the freedom and time needed to develop the technology to break Tholian webs.  Once it had been perfected they used it to overthrow their masters.

In the ensuing rebellion they savagely attacked the Tholians, destroying many colonies and ships. Finally as a last resort those Tholians that still survived fled. Many scattered, fleeing in any direction that they thought would lead them to safety.

For the first 5 years of their presence here in our galaxy they concentrated on building up their defences and preparing for their eventual war with the Tholians. Only when they were ready did they finally send out a small attack fleet to assess the Tholians strength.

It was after this attack that their presence became common knowledge. Unfortunately the escalating conflict between them and the Tholians resulted in and unexpected result that would affect them both.  

The Seltorians are an insectoid species with orange tinted body plating over most of their body. Those areas not protected by the exoskeleton tend to be a pale pink in hue. They have 6 eyes, are remarkably strong and have do not seem to wear any clothes. Instead they will wear black harnesses to hold or carry any equipment, tools or weapons they wish to carry.

While they have a fairly simplistic physiology compared to most humanoids it tends to be more resilient to damage and less prone to disease as well. They seem to have an extremely high pain threshold and can survive in hostile conditions longer than most humanoids as well. Unfortunately they are susceptible to extreme heat and cold, both of which cause their internal systems to malfunction.

In most respects they have the same technological abilities and advantages as their old masters the Tholians. The only major difference between them is in weapon technology. The Seltorians had learned to build weapons called the Web Breaker - a weapon uniquely capable of disrupting the Tholian web.

Every single ship they brought with them was a war ship. The back bone of their fleet is 9 dreadnaughts. Each set of 3 dreadnaughts has 9heavy cruisers. Each set of 3 heavy cruisers has 9 light cruisers. The same progression applies to their destroyers and frigates.

Normally you will never find a Seltorian ship by itself. Normally they travel in groups of 3 and usually all 3 ships will be the same size and class although with the frigates they may not all be the same configuration. In their case the 3 frigates are usually made up of a scout, a web breaker and a assault ship.
