Fiction:Grox of the Elalma Galaxy

This is a fictional page, see this for the original page.

The Empire
The grox are an empire of short red impish creatures that have added mechanical parts to their bodies to enhance their physical weakness. Although they are physically frail, even with their cybernetics, their high intelligence has allowed them to build impressive weapons of war. Although it is clear that the grox have a connected mind they seem to be able to build individual personalities, although they tend to be aggressive and arrogant to other species.

History
Although no race of the Triangulum Galaxy still alive know were the grox came from, it is clear they are an old power. Some believe that they destroyed the ainchent powers of the galaxy such as the Were, the Kajit and others although there is no physical prof of this. What is known is that these grox terrorize the galaxy with occasional raids and assaults but rarely occupy a world. Why these grox have never attempted to conquer the galaxy is up to debate. Some more radical theories is that the grox of this galaxy are simply an extension of grox from other galaxies and they are meant to observe rather than conquer, such theorizes are quickly dismissed as lunacy.

The grox did create several biological weapons, such as the criii, and unleashed them onto the galaxy in a bid to test their destructiveness, and although the criii were stopped in the course of the Malevolence War, they proved effective and the grox took them into the core and scattered them across multiple fertile planets around the core serving as both a new barrier against assault and as a close source of soldiers.

Purpose
The grox of this galaxy have thus far mostly shown to be interested in observing and creating new weapons and devices. For what purpose is not known, but they have been known to test these weapons on the creatures of the galaxy.

Culture
As far as most species can tell the grox are completely alien in culture, having only the barest necessities and the only ture sign of culture is their distinctive art.
