The Anthropites are a race enshrouded in darkness
and mystery. They first became known to the Union
shortly after the Neo Ignus war, and have been
considered the scourge of the Galaxy by all other
"civilized" life forms ever since.
Hesitant to reveal themselves, the Anthropites
are said to be ashamed of their physical appearance. In
reality, no outsider race has ever truly seen their
species—left to ponder the possibilities of their
repugnance with an imagination fueled by hatred and
disgust. The Anthropites have no known allies, but rely
on their strength in numbers and strictly clandestine
nature for survival and, unfortunately, undeniable
prosperity.
Their invisible space ships decloak in
droves, taking their quarry by surprise blasting them to
space dust before they are even given opportunity to
defend themselves. The Anthropites plunder whatever they
can salvage, never hesitating to utilize their powerful
close-range weapons over diplomacy, as they use the
materials to construct bigger and more numerous space
vessels for their unknown “ultimate purpose.” And even
though the Anthropites appear to have little or no
cohesion amongst themselves—merely banding together time
to time to raid helpless outsiders en masse—it is
undeniable that their religious ramblings about the
ominous “epoch star” manifests some deeply fanatical
organized religion…
But while the Anthropites are never seen in the
friendly presence of another species, there have been
strange reports of their unique affinity to the
Enimanga. After nearly a century of observation, it has
become quite clear to the races of the union that the
Anthropites share some mutual bond with these esoteric,
purely crystalline beings. No one truly understands this
bizarre and seemingly unlikely relationship, but where
the Enimanga have been notoriously protective of their
territory in the presence of all other species, they
still have yet to be seen to attack an Anthropite
vessel—even in self defense.
