I didn't want to correct you before because the whole idea was that my faction looked very visually unappealing and slightly sinister and thus would naturally generate mistrust but I'm surprised that you immediately decided to brand it as "evil" when nothing in my profile really indicated as such. Maybe it was because I used the Ilwrath theme tune? :P
The stuff I sent to Solaris to follow it up was as follows:
Quote:Goals:
As a large conscious planet, Yoth does not actually have much to do to fill its time, and is eager to meet other races and enjoy their numerous entertainments (and especially, to purchase more Eazin VR dramas, its piracy of which it hopes has gone unnoticed) by either sending out ambassadors to other planets or allowing other peoples to live in specially prepared areas upon its surface where it can study and interact with them.
Alongside alleviating its solitude by talking to other sapient species, it also believes that given time it would be capable of fertilising another planet to create itself a companion, but has been wary of doing so up until now because it isn't entirely sure how its own reproductive process actually works, and because such an act could easily be misinterpreted as hostile.
Yoth also wants mineral-rich asteroids to eat, to provide itself with materials to grow larger numbers of body forms and also in case it needs the stockpile to move itself somewhere else.
Resources:
While its creations are all fairly revolting to look upon, Yoth is a consummate master of genetic engineering and is capable of growing very large numbers of specialised bodyforms very quickly, meaning that it could provide a workforce or potentially a small army to other factions in return for the resources it is after.
It can even grow organic spacecraft, though it is capable of very little in regard to inter-space weaponry.
For self-defence Yoth mostly relies on its ability to grab and eat incoming craft, but would be fairly helpless against a concerted military effort.
Its biological sensors are also very acute, capable of seeing and hearing across sectors as well as picking up other people's broadcasts, and as an inquisitive being with perhaps not the fine grasp of privacy other species have cultivated due to being made of individuals, has been spying on everyone else ever since it noticed they existed, making it very good at gathering secrets and information. Perhaps it already knows some things people would prefer it didn't?
Finally, though not necessarily a "resource", Yoth is capable of moving its home planet (itself) around the galaxy, though only very slowly and not very often.
Yoth is pretty much just ancient and lonely, its motivations being to make friends and watch space anime. It's not malevolent.
