Xoid

Xoids appear like bulky, bipedal insect-like beings. They have a lumpish head with a single compound eye staring forward. Their entire outer surface is covered with a thick carpus armour. A Xoid has impressive strength especially when considering their size, but lack in speed and agility. They have a wide range of intelligence, from the genius level down to semi-intelligent.

The personality of a Xoid is quite flat and simple, with a touch of contempt for other races. Their aggressive tendencies usually show themselves when dealing with a large cohesive group of Xoids.

Xoid physiology is often compared to the internal structure of modern droids. Certain aspects of their anatomy resemble an organic equivalent to robotic components. Also, Xoid technology has long baffled scientists. Their ships, tools, and weapons all have a similarity to both Xoid structure and the structure of other life forms. While mechanical, these devices are partially organic, and some theorise that they are, on a very simple level, alive.
