Highly advanced (Class X/XI)

The Ka'Shen are a highly advanced, belligerent, sapient race native to the Viperius Galaxy System. They have created a large empire.

Physiology

The Ka'Shen are tall, erect bipeds, with gangly limbs and spikes running down their backs and arms. Two horns protrude from above their brows, where they have large eyes with yellow scleras.

Their hide is crimson and brown or black, with very small scales set in.

Diet

Ka'Shen are carnivores, eating meat only.

Reproduction

Viviparous and sexual, Ka'Shen offspring gestate for ten months. They take eighteen years to grow to their full size.

Intelligence

Ka'Shen are intelligent, sapient beings.

Society

Ka'Shen have an honour-based society, where those who achieve great things rise in the ranks. At the top, there are a group of warlords known as the Ik'Renn. There is a rigid hierarchy, but those at the bottom are not necessarily treated badly. They simply form the bulk and mass of the Ka'Shen industrial and military forces.

Culture

Technology

Ka'Shen technology is highly advanced, comparable to few other civilisations in Emenata.

Spaceships

Ka'Shen spaceships are mainly battleships, around 4km long. They have Ultradrives allowing them to cross between galaxies in only days and each ship possesses an AI.

They have scramdriver accelerators and modulated laser banks, as well as carbon bombs and neutral particle beams.

Superfortresses

Ka'Shen superfortresses are enormous spheres, 20km in diameter, with 1km of nanotube-laced graphene hull armour and four whipple shields outside that. They are capable of Ultraspace travel.

They possess repulsor, ion-field, cold-plasma and distortion fields for defence, and extensive point-defence systems of modulated laser, flak, and missile banks.

For weaponry, they have scramdriver accelerators, modulated laser banks, carbon bombs, neutral particle beams, antimatter missiles, carbon MIRVs, orbital howitzers, charged particle beams, coilguns, minelaying torpedoes, drones of various types, and a micronova/antimicronova reaction cannon.

Ground equipment

Communications

Ka'Shen use ultraspace transmission.

Computing

Ka'Shen computers are highly advanced. They have hard AIs, which are sapient and perform the majority of functions on ships.

Settlements

Though the Ka'Shen colonise worlds, their settlements tend to be small and temporary.

History

The Ka'Shen were genetically engineered by a progenitor race, but destroyed it. After destroying the civilisation of their creators and bringing their planet back to a palaeolithic level, they started to advance technologically and reached space in 3.992(.750) AM. In the years prior to 3.999(.920) AM, they conquered six galaxies and exterminated hundreds of civilisations.

After this date, the phenomenon known by many civilisations as "Ka'Shen Luck" began to manifest. A series of anomalous self-destructs across the Ka'Shen empire, even where no self-destruct had been fitted, caused severe economic collapse. This was then followed by eighteen simultaneous and unexpected asteroid collisions on major hub worlds and the knocking out of orbit of several others.

The Aoarus took advantage of the situation and attacked the Ka'Shen. A glitch in every single Ka'Shen ship's firing systems rendered them helpless, and their shield technology was brought down by a virus which had spontaneously arisen in the system and developed sapience.

In addition to this, the War Machine took control of all but one of the Ka'Shen controlled galaxies.

Relations with other races

The Ka'Shen have encountered many races.

Aoarus

The Ka'Shen are at war with the Aoarus, but have not had any major battles with them recently.

War Machine

The Ka'Shen are at war with the War Machine.
