Blomorin Bloc

The first silicon based sentient being encountered by the Alliance. More scientist and philosophers then fighters. Their unique physiology make them able to exist in extreme environment when it came to heat or radiation. Small arms and even some anti-tank weaponry would have a very hard time even lightly annoying an unarmed member of this species. Very reliant on heat they needed attached pods of highly radioactive magma to inject the necessary heat into their bodies if they wished to operate in more low ambient (0-50 degree Celsius) temperature planets. Consuming what most societies would consider industrial or radioactive waste, the Alliance was able to forge an observation and non-aggression pact with "The Bloc". Only time will tell how they will ultimately interact with the other factions and the ongoing cold war in general.
