| Ssi-ruuk |  |
| The Ssi-ruuk (singular, Ssi-ruu) are a race of warm-blooded saurians native to Lwhekk, a world located in the globular star cluster between the trailing spiral arms of the galaxy. They share the world with the P'w'ecks, another reptilian species. Early Ssi-ruuk development and expansion was plagued by dwindling natural resources. Having never developed the breakthroughs in fusion technology that helped galactic civilization expand to other stars, the Ssi-ruuk found their exploration efforts hampered by the need to carry huge fuel stores. To overcome this handicap, the Ssi-ruuk developed "entechment" technology. By using the entechment process to tap P'w'ecks - and later, humans - as an energy source, the Ssi-ruuk were able to maintain a fairly stable level of energy. The Ssi-ruuk have been in an expansionist phase for the past century, and are eager to capture as many energy sources as possible from human populations living in the Outer Rim Territories. | |

Special Abilities: | ||
| Claws: | A Ssi-ruu's claws do STR+2D damage. | |
| Enhanced Sense (Smell): | Ssi-ruuk have highly developed olfactory senses. They receive +1D to searchrolls if the search attempt is scent-based (maximum range of 20 meters). In addition, Ssi-ruuk can often tell by scent if a human is lying: if the Ssi-ruu makes a Moderate alien species: humanroll (the Ssi-ruu must have the specialization), increase the interrogation subjects willpowerdifficulties by one difficulty level if the Ssi-ruu is actively seeking duplicity. | |

| Poor Vision: | Ssi-ruuk have poor vision compared to humans. They suffer a -1D penalty for actions involving vision at a range of greater than 50 meters. (This penalty does not apply for starship or vehicle weapons which have a fire control modifier and similar cases where computers or sensors negate the limitations of their vision.) | |
| Tail: | A Ssi-ruu's tail does STR+1D damage. | |
Story Factors: | ||
| Ssi-ruuvi Religion: | Ssi-ruuvi religion states that if a Ssi-ruu dies away from a properly consecrated world, that Ssi-ruu's spirit is doomed to wander the galaxy without rest. Consequently, Ssi-ruuk tend to avoid open conflict away from their own planets, preferring to have droids and P'w'ecks do their fighting for them, while they monitor the battle from a distance. If confronted on an unconsecrated world, they are very likely to flee from battle. | |
