Ymorpha

Little is known of the Ymorpha, except that they are of the most exotic sentients to ever be found amidst the known galaxy. Their bodies are composed almost exclusively of gas, with the sole exceptions of two solid organs. And although it is known that these organs are the only physically vulnerable place upon an Ymorpha’s gaseous body, no one understands the exact function—or even the nature—of these two glowing orbs that float within their owners’ exterior membranes.

The Ymorpha were born into apex-predation upon their gaseous home world of Ymorpha V. They thrived in the hunt, and with an unrivaled intellectual capacity, arose to dominance of their planet. As they ascended into the stars, they adopted a similar mentality when interacting with the other races of their known universe…

It is for this reason that the Ymorpha were of the last races to join the union and, perhaps, it is also for this reason that they continue to thrive upon the predation of their enemies. They travel alone, never more than but a single commanding Ymorpha and his working crew aboard an ambush skiff of their particular commander’s design. Even their technology reflects the hostile furtiveness of the Ymorphas’ past, as they are the only union race to be possession of the cloaking device.

Their small, yet powerful, spacecraft are well known to manifest the pinnacle of destructive capacity. Long-range projectiles and explosives seemingly materialize from the empty vastness of space to befall their helpless, and usually unwary, targets. The Ymorpha reveal themselves for the briefest of moments—rarely staying long enough to even collect the cargo from the debris of their victim’s vessel.
