Kigg'var

The Kigg'var

One of the more mysterious races, they come from the furthest explored system in The Manwe Expanse , the Vesgolia Sector. The Kigg'var are a very secretive race, keeping highly sensitive discussions in their native language which is impossible for any universal translator to decipher. When amongst other races they will speak common or another species language only when needed. They are silent and are often employed as assassins or mercenaries, being highly effective in combat.

Physical Description

A Kigg'var's anatomy is mostly similar to other bipedal humanoid life except for a few key features. There DNA would appear to share much with common avian species found on other pact worlds, how they share this ancestry is unknown as archeology on the homeworld predates the GAP and Fluidic era by at least 10 millennia or more. The Kigg'var evolved a more dense musculoskeletal body, losing their feathers in place for scales and from digitigrade to a plantigrade structure. They are also one of the only species to have four fully functional arms, each one just as capable as any other bipedal humanoids. Their strength almost matching the Draccin's.

Home World

Their homeworld Iplea III is also confusing as it is almost entirely uninhabitable with a gravity almost five times the amount found on planets like Castrovel. With Iplea III's being a temperate, swampy planet with a methane atmosphere, the Kigg'var cannot breath in normal atmosphere and require a full body suit with a built in methane tank on it's back when not on their homeworld.

Society and Alignment

Kigg'var are a very secretive people when it comes to their history and even language. Kigg'var have learned galactic common for the purpose of being able to expand into Conclave space. Being a very heavy hunter gather species your typical Kigg'var will seek out jobs to satiate that trait. Often seeing them as mercenaries, security aboard various stations and ships, and as assassins. Kigg'var do not share the same moral compass as most space faring races and will often do jobs for the highest bidder.

Relations

Outside of mercenary, or security jobs a Kigg'var very rarely seen outside of their home planet. The only other places to find a Kigg'var would be the Conclave Nexus or Absalom Station. When amongst their own they will communicate in their own language to avoid letting unwanted parties listen in.
