Name: The Hyra
Population: Unknown
Homeworld: The Geo, a huge terrestrial planet of rock and metal. The structures molded directly from the rock itself. Massive pyramids etched with heiroglyphics glow softly. At the peaks of the largest of these pyramids is a caldera of liquid rock. From orbit it is very hard to spot any signs of civilization. But no outsider has ever traveled so far from the core to find it, for it exists at the very rim to the void beyond.
Government: Their society is very regimented and caste based. Their eldest and wisest become the Earth Lords. They possess the needed knowledge to power their venerable and largest star ships. They have bonded with their ships and their worlds possessing a deep understanding of how the universe works.
Their warriors are their strongest members but of their fewest castes. For they explode with the fury of a volcano before going dormant. Their armors are monoliths, heiroglyphics carved into the ancient stone. Most do not take a humanoid form. Some walk over 4 legs with glowing gems as eyes. From its mouth mounts its powerful lava weapons. When they die they explode in a fire ball.
Those who are indentified as workers shape the stone and metal of asteroids and worlds to turn them into ships. They have the knowledge needed to start the molten cores of their vessels. Besides the Earth Lords and the Warriors the rest are hardly ever seen. Bonded with their ships so that they appear to be nothing more than finely made architexture. Others have landed on what was believed to be an asteroid, thinking it was an abanddoned shrine or base they leave it alone. Never learning the truth.
Technology: It basically boils down to geological. Using the rocks and metals to form massive ships with liquid rock cores powering them. Their smallest ships are made from asteroids polished and worked it monolithic shapes. Mounting devastating lava weapons in the twin forward prongs of the vessel.
As their ships get larger they require larger asteroids and more metals. Their cores are super dense and hot. The power they generate while active produces a large gravitic wave that provides nearly unlimited energy. While in stasis they cannot be distinguished from any other asteroid or stellar body.
Their largest captial class vessels are simply massive. Easily reaching the size of an Eclipse-Class Star Destroyer. They are front line assault vessel. Closing on enemy ships to burn them the lava weapons and plasma throwers. Due to their unique and alien outlook their vessels are hard for outsiders to understand let alone reach any vital systems. The cores of the capital class vessels are mined from worlds.
When assaulting a planet they drop Geological Furnances. They burrow into the planets crust and start a chain reaction in the planets mantle and core. As the magma begin to erupt the atmosphere becomes toxous they drop their warriors from orbit.
