Physiology

It is believed that the Seared Ones are humanoid animals that were severely deformed as a result of an unknown event. Surviving images of Seared Ones from attacks show biomechanical beings more machine than animal, with box-like heads and two robotic arms above their shoulders. They retain two at least superficially biological arms below these, and their legs are half-organic and half-metal.

There seems to be a lot of variation regarding colour, skin, and other features amongst them.

Intelligence

Seared Ones are sapient beings, which seem highly intelligent and show great cunning.

Society

Almost nothing is known about Seared One culture. They seem aggressive but isolationist, not attempting to expand. They have, on occasion, assisted ships, but more usually they destroy any objects entering their sphere of influence.

Technology

Seared One technology is inconsistent. The majority of their weaponry and spacecraft designs seem to be class XII level, but their cybernetic parts and computers are much less refined.

Their ships emit a jamming field that prevents any scans or images of them from being taken, and also induces nausea in organic brains at close range. It completely destroys non-hardened computers. As such, the design of the ships is unknown.

Seared Ones tend to use missiles to destroy anything entering their locality. These missiles are semi-intelligent and can travel through Uberspace. There is no record of anything surviving attacks from these weapons, but the radiation produced does not fit with any known explosion type.

History

The Seared Ones have been recorded existing in the Valka Galaxy from 3.672(.843) AM, when the first survey ships entered the area.

Since then, areas of Seared One influence have also been found in the Obscura Galaxy and in Machinus.
