Many years ago, the sentient species of the Milky Way were nearly wiped out by a foe known as the Raxan. This species was terrible and cruel, its overriding hive mind directing it towards one purpose: conquest of all. The Raxan were a race of beings with no kindness or compassion, as well as being incapable of feeling any kind of emotion at all. The Raxan were beaten back, however, and under threat of annihilation the Raxan agreed to never again take up arms, and were monitored closely to make sure they would honor their word.

For over five hundred years, the Milky Way Galaxy enjoyed relative peace and prosperity under the Federation of Planets. The galaxy was seemingly on its way towards Utopia, a new golden age of cooperation between races.

However, that would not last.

The Federation became bloated and corrupt. They mishandled many catastrophes, wronging several species that were considered to be minor in the galactic stage. Their mangled policies and crippling red tape led towards a violent uprising by a group known as the Rebellion. EIn addition, the Raxan seemed to be with them. The Rebellion "liberated" the surrounding planets and it appears that they had established an alliance with the Raxan. With the ultimate warrior race on their side, the Rebellion is a threat the Federation can no longer ignore. The galaxy is tearing apart at the seams. Will you fight for peace and stability or do you sympathize with the Rebellion's cause?

Heh heh. Those things look vicious. However, I picture them looking more insectlike. Those things look like a cross between an undead and a horror movie alien. If only I could draw better, I could show you.

PS: The plural is actually just "Raxan"

Oh my god, you are good at guessing. That's basically what they are. They're Chimeran Hardfangs from Resistance: Fall of Man. Chimerans are created by a virus which slowly turns a human into the undead Chimera. Kind of nasty. Anyways, I just saw the picture and it reminded me of them. There are some screenshots and videos of them at http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Games/Re...ce_Fall_of_Man# . Be warned that the game is rated M so content can be a little bit mature.

I imagined them kinda like grey grasshoppers. Locusts in fact.
With more humanoid features though. I'm afraid, I can't draw a grasshopper. But you know what I mean. Thicker legs, shorter antennae. Smaller eyes. Black perhaps? Smaller wings. Softer skin, yet still feels firm and hard. No soft underbelly. Less defined mandibles, smarter than a grasshopper though. Larger mouth. (larger body)
