Kree are a type of sapient life form in the Viperius Galaxy.
Physiology
Kree have small, ball-like bodies with many tentacles at their base. They have many, poor-quality eyes around their head.
They have no need to breathe, and their skin is impermeable- they are powered by mechanical structures and batteries.
They are bodies created to house the Kree brains, and allow the best interaction with technology. It is not known what their original form was, but it must have been very different.
Reproduction
Kree are not born, but grown. The brains and bodies are grown separately, augmented, then the mind is implanted.
Intelligence and Society
Kree are very intelligent, and have advanced technology.
Kree are attached to a certain Sphere (see below), and are linked to it wirelessly. In emergencies, the Sphere takes control of all Kree within itself, and they then share all thoughts and knowledge. They are sometimes thought of as 'slaves' to the Sphere AI, and they always try to follow its orders.
They have no real culture, completely subservient to their Sphere and always acting to maintain and aid it.
It is impossible for there to be rebellious Kree. Even if they were somehow broken loose from the Sphere, they would then be unable to eat, power, or think properly.
Techology
Kree technology is highly advanced.
Spaceships
Kree travel in great Spheres, up to a thousand miles across. These house a single, enormous AI which manages everything to do with the sphere. The ship is capable of FTL, using a powerful Hyperdrive.
These ships gather matter from space, such as gas, dust, and asteroids. Nanobots constantly work to grow the Sphere, but it is usually split into two like in binary fission before it grows too large. All energy falling on the Sphere, whether thermal, kinetic or electromagnetic, is drained away into the ship's engines. Particle accelerators around its equator manufacture antimatter for its engines.
It can also use mass drivers which accelerate 1-tonne projectiles to .65c.
All Kree live in the Spheres- they never colonise or settle. A small sphere exists on Centro, stuck into the ground.
Pods
Kree travel in pods due to their bodies, which make it very hard to move. Different types of pods exist for different, jobs, but most are for travel, with mass-repulsor plates on their undersides and attachments for manipulation.
Pods can regularly be seen flying around within the Spheres.
History
The Kree were enslaved by the Spheres in 3.884(.145) AM.
It is not known what they were like before this. A little archaeological information has been discovered from before this time, in a ten ly-radius area of the Viperius Galaxy.
Relations with other races
The Kree are generally passive. They do not interact much with other races.
However, they have a few Kree and a small sphere on Centro. They have reasonably good relations with the species there.
They are at war with the Flesh Thief race, the Elisri, and the Kerarans.
