Origins
Very little is currently known about this species and faction, as nearly all reported contacts end in the death of the observer.
What is known is that they employ elite Skein and Dreadnaught class mercenaries, and they are searching for something. These “Blood Scrubbers” show up on battlefields across the galaxy, sometimes on the periphery and sometimes in the thick of the fray. Only after the mercenaries have been routed do the murky reported sightings pop up.
A single surviving Dracovirum Lucaetum scout did make a proper morphological study, albeit they have never spoken a single word since filing it.
Morphology, Traits and Proclivities
A little known hominid species, with blade-like limbs, composed of jade and jadeite. Standing 3 metres tall, they are imposing but seemingly fragile. Their internal components appear to be metallic and possibly robotic, but layers of Sanguenite make clear identification impossible.
Most individuals have 2 arm analogues; they are asymmetrically opposed on opposite sides of its torso, biasing towards its back, with the remainder potentially anywhere, even replacing a different limb. “Hands” and “feet” are mostly similar, with feet having 2 - 3 cm more length on their digits. Hands have 6 digits, with two operating as opposable. Feet have 4 digits, with each one operating as prehensile.
