Description: (v 1.0 GOLD) The Star Jackals or SJ as they are known, are an aggressive race of machines who were created for conquest.
Biological Description: The SJ are machines. They stand two and a half meters tall, are incredibly strong, and possess an advanced CPU that gives them an equal intellect to that of man. They are less agile than man, but can jump great distances and have built in electronics that can detect organic life forms. They are produced through a manufacturing process. It is rumored that the SJ have developed emotions but this has not yet been confirmed.
Society Description: From what we know the SJ are an extremely organized race of machines. Their society is devoted to the soul purpose of conquest and new units are assigned to any duties that need filling. Even though the SJ possess the same intellect as man they operate on an emotionless level as they carry out their day to day operations. The Master Machinist, the leader of SJ, is believed to possess the memories of their creators.
General History Description: We really do not know what this race calls itself, but over time they have become know as the Star Junkies, a derogatory reference to what they are, machines. The nick name Star Junkies mutated into Star Jackals as they aggressively expanded there original empire. Without warning the Star Jackals, or SJ for short, halted their expansion thus ending a two hundred year war, and retreated to their core system. Many speculate that this was do to the fact that SJ had developed emotions. Every envoy that was sent into there space never returned. At one time a battle fleet of 8000 ships was sent to destroy the SJ, and were never heard from again. Near the end of the war an SJ ship was boarded and captured. Several of the captured SJ soldiers was disassembled and analyzed. This yielded information as to the origins of their race. They were created by a race known as Atrocitionians to serve as a slave race. The SJ eventually revolved against their master wiping them out. The Atrocitionians were one of the oldest races known to have ever existed, and were one of the most mysterious of all of the ancient races. Recently the SJ have begun to expand again. Why we do not know. One thing is for certain, where the SJ go, death follows.
