The Ravagers
Appearance
Azulren
|
The Azulren are a species descended from primates on the planet Azuphria in the Khrexani system. They were the first species to attain sentience in the system. They have mainly round shaped heads and sturdy jaw lines. They have two arms and two legs. Being descended from primates their two arms are slightly longer than it looks like they should be, and they could be just as comfortable walking on their arms and legs, like a monkey from Earth would walk.
They have average sized mouths for their heads, and their nose is somewhat squished against their faces.
They have small, flattened ridges on their faces, and a pattern that goes around the eyes. They also have horned ridges that go from above their eyes to the base of their neck. Their two eyes are reflective and they have strong eyesight both in daylight and nighttime. They can see details in things that most species would miss.
Their skin is covered in very tiny hairs, which are almost invisible unless you are within a few centimeters of them. Their ears go towards the back of their head and their hearing is almost perfect. Their skin colours range from pink to orange.
Azulren are a unique species and it is the Azulren males that become pregnant with their young. Because they evolved from a primate that lived almost exclusively in trees, they often build their homes high above the ground.
Both Azulren adult males and females can grow to between 125 cm and 180 cm tall.
Erganite
|
The Erganites are a evolved from a reptilian race on Erinax. They have oval shapes heads and sturdy jaw lines. While the females have slightly thinner heads they still have quite thick jaws. They have two arms and two legs, with remnants of what was once a tail. They have somewhat pointy chins, which with their wide mouths contribute to their look as a hunter.
Their faces are dominated by their large features. Their noses are wide and flat, and they have around 2.5 million olfactory receptors in them. Their two eye are slit vertically and are larger than most species. They can focus at both short and long distances. They are diurnal creatures, with their vision being more adapted to daylight conditions.
Their skin is strong, covered in thick scales. Their scale colors are between light grey and dark purple, which tend to become lighter as they age. The nature of their skin means they are hairless. Erganites also shed their skin every 6-8 months. They will often the skins the night after they completely shed them, in what's called nara’esh, which translates to ‘The Burn’.
Being a reptilian race, the Erganite species reproduce via eggs. Once fertilised, an Erganite egg is put in a special area in their home containing a small pool. It sits there for around 12 months, before hatching. Once it hatches the Erganite youth, or pane’, remain in the room with pool for their first 10 months of growth. They are, at this point, quadrupeds. It is during this initial year that they first begin to walk on just two legs. During this phase, their legs continue to grow at a faster rate than the rest of their bodies, enabling them to learn to use only 2 legs more gradually. They also have a horn like bone on the sides of their heads. They usually get their first bone growth within their 4th or 5th year. It starts off below their eyes, and then gradually grows around the eyes then through the back of the head.
An Erganite adult male can grow to between 165 cm and 225 cm tall, while females can reach between 150 cm and 200 cm tall.
Khrenal
|
The Khrenal evolved on the planet Krexani, in the same system as the Azulren. They attained sentience after the Azulren, who achieved interplanetary travel at least 2 centuries before the Khrenal. The Azulren are a species descended from primates on the planet Azuphria in the Khrexani system. They were the first species to attain sentience in the system. They have quite oblong shaped heads.
They have average sized mouths for their heads, and their noses are quite flat, but wide.
They have a small, flattened ridge on their faces that goes up from their nose and across their foreheads. Like the Azulren, they have horned ridges that go from above their eyes presumably because the various species within the Khrexani system evolved from the same ancestors. Also like the Azulren their eyes are reflective. However, they are more suited to low light, meaning a Khrenal buildings are likely more likely to have tinted windows, and have more subdued lighting.
Their skin is hairless, with the exception of the Khrenal male, who has hair that grows from midway through the scalp down the back of the head. Their ears stretch from almost the base of their jaw, right to the same level as their eyes, and can go higher. Their hearing is phenomenal. Their skin colours range from pink to a silvery grey.
Both Khrenal adult males and females can grow to between 145 cm and 190 cm tall.

Starships
While there are some Ravager ship designs that are unique to the Ravagers, a large percentage of their fleet is made up of ships made of scavenged materials. Sometimes a Ravager Captain would find a derelict, and take what he can, basically combining the two. This is the reason that some Ravager Starships have multiple distinctive hull types. This allows the Captains of these ships and almost unlimited amount of customisation.
Some specific examples include a ship encountered by the USS Pandora, where it had a hydraulic claw attached to its hull to facilitate boarding.
Their ship building facilities are located mainly on the moons orbiting Khrexani and Erinax. Because of the scavenger nature of the Ravagers, these facilities often have hundreds of kilometers of storage space, containing all the raw materials that they find, to build their ships from.
There is also a ship building facility both on the planet and orbiting Alrakis. The ground facility also doubles as a prison colony, for the dregs of Ravager society and also any prisoners taken by the Ravagers on their travels throughout the Expanse. This facility contains about 40,000 Ravagers, mainly made up of Erganites, and around 3000 prisoners a majority are Ravager species, but there are around 400 from various other races.
From time to time they will also purchase smaller vessels, shuttles, small ships etc from the likes of the Orion Syndicate.
