>The Krat are an Insectoid race of Xenos, most closely resembling Earth's Lobsters. They attempt to expand at any chance that they get and they breed so quickly that it's next to impossible for most to fend off their land invasions.
>They start to burrow as soon as they make planetfall and start setting up spawning pools
>Humanity won, though. Most other races never developed flamethrowers. They all saw it as a waste of fuel, or that it was too cruel a weapon.
>A Human on Alpha Centauri who was a weapon's collector took out an old M2 Flamethrower that he had and used it to start flushing out the tunnels when they invaded the colony in 2051. Soon, every still able-bodied man, woman, and child on that rock had an improvised flamethrower and their Gauss Rifles at the ready.
>It was just enough to halt the Krat's advance long enough for the SC military to arrive.
>Humanity got a lot of good rep for holding the line and pushing them back, but if the fleets hadn't gotten there when they had the planet would still have been overrun.
>The colonists only had enough fuel left for another hour of fighting by the time they were relieved and they had been pushed back quite far. Over 80% of their settlements were taken before the military arrived, but no-one ever talks about that
>A statue of the first flamer was raised with his battle-cry of "AVE NEX ALEA! SALUTO NEX ALEA" engraved into it along with how he "died".>The glorious bastard went up in flames when one of the Krat shot the fuel line.
>the madman just took out his knife and charged once he was lit. He didn't even take his fuel pack off after it burst
>They never found his body. I like to think that the reports of Krat patrols having been slaughtered by someone with a knife and flamethrower were him. Ave Nex Alea. Glory to the /k/ube.
>Only /k/omandos are insane, and confident, enough to use a flamethrower that hadn't been properly serviced in more than 100 years and then charge a 6' tall lobster with a knife after being set on fire.

>The Scatri are a short bipedal bear-like race.
>They usually don't get much taller than 5', if that.
>Their fur ranges about the same colours as earth's bears
>They have extremely advanced military tech, but generally, prefer to sell their weapons to others.
>The Scatri can still fight well, despite preferring others to do their fighting for them
>They're otherwise kinda like the old stereotype of the jew, but not as bad as the stereotype.
>For instance: They will do all that they can to keep you from ever being indebted to them for anything.
>The Scatri were the first Xeno race that we came into contact with.
>First contact was in 2042

>H’nado are reptilian Xenos who are similar to the appearance of the Earth’s Bearded Dragon lizards, but the H’nado only have spikes on their heads and spines.
>They are a very science and fine arts, driven people. If they can, they will avoid any conflict that they can, but like all of the sapient races of the universe, they aren’t going to let you just take whatever you want from them.
>They have an incredible desire to be polite and despise it when others don’t show the same courtesy.
>This usually manifests as passive-aggressive behavior
>They will, in general, always learn the “code of conduct” of any place that they visit. 
>The Sol Confederacy has provided some problems for their more casual travelers and tourists due to there being no REAL unified system of public etiquette to follow, however, most will eventually learn that 
“Do unto others as you would have done to you”
>Is actually a rather constant way of looking at things, making the SC’s system of public etiquette SEEM to be extremely complex when it is actually quite simple.
>A favorite set of research topics for them are “how did the civilization react to [something] being introduced into it
