The Cleax are entirely non-humanoid beings with long stubby bodies and 16 very stubby legs which drag their bulk across the ground. They have no 'hands' to speak of, but instead a large collection of short appendages to manipulate things with. | The Cleax are entirely non-humanoid beings with long stubby bodies and 16 very stubby legs which drag their slug-like bulk across the ground. They have no 'hands' to speak of, but instead a large collection of short appendages to manipulate things with and emit toxic gas with. They also possess a terrifying-looking maw and long, flowing antenna. | ||

There is a second form of the Cleax, however, called the Sarkeen. We do not know what the Sarkeen are. We don't know if they rule the Cleax, as some have speculated. We don't know if they are even the same race as the Cleax, though it is believed they are, and they are typically referred to as such. Do the Sarkeen begin as a normal Cleax, and evolve? Were the Sarkeen intentionally mutated by the Cleax? Are they nothing but extreme genetic outliers among their race? We don't know. | There is a second form of the Cleax, however, called the Sarkeen.

The Sarkeen protect themselves in a variety of ways - they can generate powerful bio-electric fields that act as shields and that is widely believed to be a product of their own flavor of star kith, they can release swarms of incredibly destructive clouds of 'spores' that attach themselves to any metal object and quickly begin reducing it to component atoms, and they're able to generate singularly powerful EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) bursts to disable nearby ships or drones. | The Sarkeen protect themselves in a variety of ways - they can generate powerful bio-electric fields that act as shields and that is widely believed to be a product of their own flavor of star kith, they can release swarms of incredibly destructive clouds of 'spores' that attach themselves to any metal object and quickly begin reducing it to component atoms, and they're able to generate singularly powerful EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) bursts to disable nearby ships or drones. | ||

Little is known about the culture of the Cleax except that their way of thinking is completely alien to that of any race inhabiting the Starmourn Sector. | Little is known about the culture of the Cleax except that their way of thinking is completely alien to that of any race inhabiting the Starmourn Sector. | ||
