Haakonish
Haakonish are a bipedal reptilian race. They have broad, flat heads with prominent protrusions on each side. The protrusions are nasal cavities that provide the Haakonish with an unrivalled sense of smell. Haakonish have very poor eyesight, but compensate for this with their excellent sense of smell and taste.
They are intelligent and quite aggressive. Haakonish are highly pretentious. They also have a strong sense of their own racial superiority. Thus they do not enjoy the company of other races and have a tendency to be xenophobic.
Haakonish are naturally drawn towards intricate technology. They take great pride in designing and building equipment with many advanced features, even if some of these features are unnecessary or superfluous.
The natural miserliness of the Haakonish has led them to develop the High Density Fuel Cell, a high-capacity fuel tank. This gives Haakonish star ships longer range and endurance.
Haakonish typically live in fully-enclosed biospheres in coastal areas of Marshy Swamp and Mangrove Forest planets.
Boskarans
Boskara are a ferocious insectoid race with a tough brown exoskeleton skin.
They are the most violent and aggressive race in the known galaxy. They excel in combat, using trickery and deceit to gain the upper-hand. Boskara are untrustworthy allies.
Boskarans instinctive lust for conquest and expansion is without equal. Most other races consider them to be completely without scruples, and thus steer well clear of them. However Boskara have a natural ally in the Sluken, their slightly more reasonable close relatives.
Their technology includes the deadly Shaktur FireStorm, an immensely destructive torpedo weapon. This weapon gives Boskaran star ships very powerful planetary assault capabilities, allowing them to quickly take down defending spaceports at enemy colonies. The Shaktur Firestorm also has a planetary bombardment capability, allowing the Boskara to wipe out the populations of enemy colonies.
Boskara typically inhabit the forbidding terrain of Volcanic planets. Communities may sometimes also be found in the rocky mountains of Carbonaceous planets.
