The Iskalloni had a unique physiology that allowed their bodies to rapidly recover from injuries and to adapt to any foreign matter in their systems instead of trying to reject it, although they used a special mutagen produced by a large pink plant to further ease the adaptation process. Because of this, the species willingly experimented with cybernetic implants, which ranged from neural and mental enhancements to built-in blasters and melee weapons. They sometimes replaced entire limbs with prosthetic replacements. However, the Iskalloni made few advances in their cybernetic technology over the years.

Due to the addition of the mutagen to their systems, the species had deep-set, black eyes, high cheekbones, protruding foreheads, and sharp triangular white teeth, which all combined to give them a violent image. Ordinarily, their implants were covered by their skin for protection, but they would occasionally let some of the implants jut through, surrounded by prominent scars, to make their appearance more intimidating. The Iskalloni usually wore tight, leathery clothing—generally bright burgundy in color—with holes exposing their implants. One unusual ability the species had was a resistance to blaster fire. A blaster set on full power was as effective on an Iskalloni as a blaster set on stun would be on a Human.<br />

Iskalloni  Apperance and Biology:The Iskalloni are pale, hairless, blue-skinned creatures. They gene- rally wear tight-fitting,

leather-like clothing in colors which are generally unflattering to their appearance. A bright burgundy

color seems to be their favorite. The clothing generally has large, rough rips in it where the

Iskalloni have cut through to insert some odd piece of machinery or other. Usually within the area of a

tear, a puffy pink scar can be seen where the implant was made.  The creatures have deeply recessed

eyes with black irises. Facially, their lack of eyebrows, the protruding forehead, their high,

prononuced cheekbones, and their perfect white teeth (which are all nearly perfect triangles and

extremely sharp), all combine to produce the apperance of a creature who is always brooding, always on

the edge of a violent outburst. The average Iskalloni will have a number of cybernetic enhancements.

Many of these are mundane and only serve the purpose of helping the Iskalloni react quickly, or think

well mathematically. The Iskalloni usually submerge their implants beneath the skin to help protect the

items. Now that the Iskalloni intend to increase their dealings with Humans, they are increasing the

amount of equipment which they allow to past the surface in hopes of gaining a psychological edge by

virtue of their appearance. Some of the aliens have even had limbs removed and replaced with cybernetic

arms or Droid equipment.Temperament: Iskalloni appear calm, as though their thoughts are somewhere else - they always seem to

be emotionally detached from whatever they are doing.History and Culture: Iskalloni are native to the Iskallon system which lies in a remote part of the

Mid-Rim region. They have, for the most part, lived the last millenium isolated from Humankind. The

Iskalloni, whose philosophy and physiology is radically different from that of most humans, had diffi-

culty establishing peaceful relations. This partly stems from the fact that they are cybernetic but

also from the fact that the Iskallons see no problem with enslaving other species.The Iskalloni are bent on enslaving Humankind, not out of any particular hatred, but simply because

they feel that the Humans and the species which associate with them are all weak and worthless. When

the Empire first encountered emissaries from Iskallon, they thought they had gained an ally. The

Imperials were willing to pay the Iskallons to recruit slaves for them. But the Iskallons demonstrated

their lack of discrimination in whom they converted and enslaved by converting the entire crew of the

first scout ship which had encountered them. When the Empire found out about this, they sent a force of

three Victory-class Star Destroyers to Iskadrell and managed to decimate almost half of  the planet

before the Iskallons could muster an defence. The Iskallon counterattack was fast and deadly, and soon

the Imperials retreated. When the Iskalloni failed to pursue the Imperials back into populated space,

the Empire no longer considered them a threat. But the Iskalloni threat remains... Politics: The Iskallons rule their society through specially chosen persons, who have been heavily

modified to improve their data-processing capability; these people are really nothing more than walking

computers, but their decisions are obeyed without hesitation. Technology Level: The Iskalloni have developed all aspects of spacefaring technology, although most of

this technology is based on organic variants. Navigation computers, sublight engines, power reactors,

communications equipment, even starship hulls are bred from great vats of organic ooze which the

Iskalloni brew on their homeworld. And each of these organisms has the unique ability, as do the

Iskalloni, to incorporate any foeign object into their personal physiology.The combination of these characteristics has allowed the Iskalloni to experiment with all manner of

cybernetic implants. Unfortunately, the Iskalloni have been unable to make any advances in the past few

centuries. Trade and Technology:One of the side-effects of their bio-technology is that nearly all of their techno-organic machinery

produces waste material as it functions. This waste material is highly toxic to nearly all forms of

organic life. Many an Iskallon has perished horribly while mopping up after an Iskallon built

hyperdrive. As a result of this the Iskalloni needs many slaves to do the dirty work and this have

given rise to a booming slave trade, but the demand is far greater than the supply. Stealing has been

the mainstay of Iskalloni expansion and technological knowledge. they do not understand the general

reluctance of other species to be linked with machines, and often made use of their implanting tech- 

niques on other aliens despite vehement protests. More often than not, such encounters ended in combat. In the Galaxy: The Iskallon homeworld is out in the unknown regions of space, but they come to the

civilized galaxy for their evil ends. To keep the ranks of Iskallons strong, they have taken to

capturing other sapients and forcing them to do their dirty work which results from their odd brand off

technology. They are also attempting to learn the means by which humans can build functioning machines

that do not produce flowing chemicals in their functioning. Gamemaster Notes: Iskallons are not common adversaries and should only be used in sit- uations that are

supposed to inspire to heroic roleplaying. Personality Notes: Iskallons does not interact well with other species.Suggested Skills:Iskallons can learn any skill, but they tend to lean towards the more violent ones,

since they are the most used in their conquest of other spieces. Notable Personalities: Locutus of Borg, main leader onboard the Iskalloni Mothership called Borg.Average Iskalloni: Dexterity 2D+1, Knowledge 2D, Mechanical 2D, Perception 2D, Strength 3D, Technical

the weapon were set on stun) Cyborged: All Iskalloni have replaced one or more of their body parts with a cybernetic version. It is

often heavily modified to enhance its original function. Blaster-type modifications are placed

virtually any- where and will generally be 3D to 5D. Any melee weapons (or equipment effectively

amounting to melee weapons) will be on the order of STR+1 damage up to STR+2D. Story Factors: Reputation: Iskallons are considered to be a myth by most of the galaxy. Move: 8/10Size: 1.3 to 1.5 meters tall
