Aldorians and Ordanians revealed

Because the question was asked, I will post two of the races that exist in my Star frontier's campaign and I'll try my best to transfer their attribute bonuses and special abilities to Classic Star frontier's equivalents. It should be noted that most of the alien races in my campaign are humanoid in form, because over the years it became apparent, that my players gravitated towards playing humanoids because it was easier for them to identify with a character who's physical limitations (due to their body type) they could identify with. In my campaign these two races are referee only races (because they are great villains). also there is mention of the Slithaar which is another referee race that in our Campaign were an enemy even more evil than the Sathar and who appeared to plague the Frontier several decades after the sathar threat had been eliminated. Both these races share very similar attitudes and abilities that would make them perfect allies, but instead has made them eternal enemies. So here are these two villainous species. AldoriansAverage size: 1.9 meters tallAverage Mass: 90kg (male), 65 kg (female)Average Life span: 500 YearsBody Temperature: 37° C Reproduction: Heterosexual Viviparous PHYSICAL DESRIPTION AND STRUCTURE Aldorians are a race of humanoids that evolved on the same planet as the Andorians, and though they share certain similarities the two races are distinct. Aldorians follow the same basic symetry of a human. They grow dark silver gray hair that is thickest on the top and back of their heads, and they have dark bronze skin. The Aldorians have almond shaped eyes that range in color throughout the lighter spectrum of colors found among humankind. They have pointed ears with ridges that allow them a broader hearing range. Aldorians have strong angular features. They are generally muscular, athletic beings who walk with a fluid grace. Internally Aldorians have a skeleton that is stronger than a human’s and they have a flexable membrane that cushions their ribcage and offers additional protection to their vital organs. Aldorian muscle tissue is denser than human muscle. They possess a 5 chambered heart, and they have an organ located where the human apendix can be found that produces a pain supressive enzyme triggered when the Adorian is injured that deadens the effect of pain, allowing the Aldorian to endure great amounts of damage without succumbing to trauma. Aldorians can interbreed with humans and Andorians but the fetus has to be genetically manipulated to insure its survival. SENSES Aldorians sense of vision is more sensitive to the ultraviolet spectrum granting them night vision as good as their normal vision at night. Their other senses are comparable to a humans senses. SPEECH Aldorians speak a harsh sounding language that is as complex as any language spoken in the Frontier. Aldorians can learn many languages that require strong vocal capabilities. Their language can be learned by most Frontier races but it is rare for anyone not involved in Star Law or the Spacefleet to do so. SOCIETY AND ATTITUDES Aldorians are one of the most feared races in the Frontier, because they are relentless warriors, who believe that no quarter is to be given to those who chose to attack them. The Aldorians are born and breed to be warriors and skill at arms is as important to them as breathing is to any other race. On the outside they may seem like blood thirsty warriors, but the Aldorians believe in a religion that is centered around the darwinistic idea that only the strong shall survive. They view their existance along these lines perfecting themselves in mind and body and striving to become skilled at arms to insure their survival. Aldorians come off as cold, and dispassionate, but that is because they feel that emotion tends to cloud judgement, and its place is in the privacy of the home, and not in situations where it might impede judgement. The Aldorians have carved out an empire in a series of harsh, nearly inhospitable worlds the chief of which was where they were exiled, when the Andorians cast them out of their homeworld. This defeat burns in the hearts of each Aldorian and some day they have vowed to reclaim their homeworld. The Aldorian Empire is not affiliated with any faction in the Frontier. They have had great wars against the Adranians, the Ordanians and Humankind in the past, and only the Human/Aldorian war was fought to a draw which resulted in the creation of a buffer zone between the Aldorian Empire and the Frontier. Recently Aldorians suffered greatly from attacks by the Slithaar, and the Ordanians believing that the Aldorians have been weakened have begun to probe the Aldorian sphere, with little success. The Aldorians however have hundreds of thousands of people that have been displaced by the devastation wrought on their worlds and have begun to probe worlds outside the neutral buffer coming into conflict with the Vrusk, and Frontier yet open war has not been declared, and Frontier ambassadors have been scrambling to the region in an effort to calm the situation, before a Frontier war erupts against the Aldorians. SPECIAL ABILITIES Pain Supression: Aldorians reduce damage by -1pt/die (minimum 1pt of damage) because they do not register pain, and at Stamina points they roll Strength divided by 10 to remain awake. The Aldorian who makes this roll will continue to fight until they take further damage, thus finally succombing to death. ATTRIBUTE ADJUSTMENTS Str/Sta +10 Dex/RS +5 Per: -10 OrdaniansAverage size: 2.1 meters tallAverage Mass: 110kg (male), 90kg (female)Average Life span: 500 YearsBody Temperature: 37° C Reproduction: Heterosexual Viviparous PHYSICAL DESRIPTION AND STRUCTURE Ordanians are a race of humanoids that evolved on a barren rock of a world. The average Ordanian is taller than a human, and has a stocky muscular build. They have charcoal gray skin, and are hairless beings. their ears are pointed and their eyes are deep set and are uniformly a deep red, with no visible pupil. Instead of a nose, these beings have a pourous membrane above their mouths that serves to filter out the sand and blowing dust common to their homeworld. Ordanian faces are broad and angular, and their mouths are wide, and filled with teeth that seem more accustomed to tearing flesh, then chewing. Internally Ordanians have a skeleton that is stronger than a human’s and they have a flexable membrane that cushions their ribcage and offers additional protection to their vital organs. Ordanian muscle tissue is denser than human muscle. They possess a 5 chambered heart, and they have an organ located beneath their heart, and between their diapham that produces a pain suppressive enzymes, allowing the Ordanian to endure great amounts of pain. SENSES Ordanians senses are comparable to a humans senses, except for their vision, which is supperior to a Humans. Ordanians can see in the dark as well as they can see in daylight but can only see things using this vision in shades of gray as opposed to seeing things in color. SPEECH Ordanians speak a harsh sounding language that is as complex as any language spoken in the Frontier. They can learn many languages that require strong vocal capabilities. SOCIETY AND ATTITUDES Ordanians seem to be as hated by the members of the Frontier as the Adrainians because of their sheer brutality and seeming bloodlust. Ordanians culture is highly militaristic, and Ordanians strive to become the perfect warrior. They give no quarter in combat, and refuse to surrender, prefering to die in battle then to submit to an enemy. Ordanians are born and breed to be warriors and skill at arms is a Religion to them. They view their existance as a neverending struggle to perfecting themselves in mind and body in order to become skilled at arms, so that in their afterlife they will survive in battle and win the right to be reborn. Ordanians are generally cold, and dispassionate. The Ordanians have carved out an empire in a series of harsh, nearly inhospitable worlds and they have a long history of trying to expand their empire, and in the process have made an enemy of the Aldorians whose empire they have long sought to annex. They view the Aldorians as the perfect enemy, and do everything in their power to force the Aldorians into conflict with them. The Ordanians are not affiliated with any faction in the Frontier. They have had great wars against the Adranians, Yazirians, Humma, and Humankind. But none of these races compare in the eyes of the Ordanians to the Aldorians. recently they fended off an attack by the Slithaar that left the Ocara System devastated. The attack could have been worse but the Slithaar fleet had expended most of its strength on attacking the Rim and the Aldorians. The Ordanians were impressed by the Slithaar, and have begun to prepare themselves for more attacks by this new enemy. They have also seen the devastation wrought by the Slithaar on the Aldorians as an opportunity to finally conquer the Aldorians, and have increased their raids into Aldorian space hoping that their enemy takes the bait and declares war against them. SPECIAL ABILITIES Nightvision: All Ordanians can see equally well in the dark as they can in daylight, but in the dark they can only make out things in varying shades of gray. Pain Suppression: Ordanians reduce damage by -1pt/die (minimum 1pt of damage) because they do not register pain ATTRIBUTE ADJUSTMENTS Str/Sta: +10 Dex/RS: -5 Int: +5/Log:-5 Per: -10 ?
