Hello again. I’ve completed the model for my next alien species: the Cerebturans. They can effectively be described as a friendly/smart alien species. They are going to have dialogues that showcase their intelligence and will be vital allies if they happen to be in the same local space (they will assist you with defeating enemy ships in the same local space). I gave their head model a larger cranium – and used pleasant colors on their skin and uniforms.
Cerebturans are highly intelligent and advanced beings. Fortunately, they were the first alien species that Humans are known to have encountered during their first forays into deep space. A ship of passing Cerebturans took pity on a group of early human space explorers, who were lost in a vast expanse of space, and offered to teach them various useful concepts and ideas that allowed them to continue and find their way. Cerebturans and Humans form natural partners and have a somewhat symbiotic relationship. The Cerebturans relying on human passion and aggression to help them defend their home systems. And we Humans have benefited immeasurably from the intellectual, social and technological advancement of the Cerebturans. We can only hope that this alliance continues for the foreseeable future. Any break in Human and Cerebturan interests would be a great loss to both species.
They will not be as offensively “combat-effective” as any of the other alien species (in both their ships and boarding parties) but they will have better science and repair skills than any other alien species. Their ships will be well shielded but have low armor and relatively weaker weapons. However, they should remain a challenge to other ships because of the advanced ability of their crew to repair and buff the ship’s modules – their high ship shields will also make them formidable. I will probably emphasize their medical abilities by making their medical module one of their strongest ship modules normally.
I think their pointy ears are meant to remind you of another alien species from a popular sci-fi series.
I only have one more main alien species to go. And then I want to do three “critters” that I want to use aboard derelict ships (some kind of scary bug, some kind of scary worm, and something inspired by sci-fi zombies).
