Space-badger

"They are, all of them, vermin."

- Antenocte

Space-badgers (singular: Space-badger) are a race of aliens. They infest many planets. They are considered KM, or please kill them there's so many I'll pay you for it on the endangered scale.

Origins
Space-badgers are as old as the universe itself. When space travel first became possible, the first space ships were already infested with the creatures. They have bred and mutated countless times, and almost every planet has a different strain of them.

Intergalactic Usage
Space-badgers are a common, if not the most common, of all the forces under the. ,, and even have them in their regiments. As these creatures have huge populations, they are considered to be the primary canon fodder of the PTO. However, even in combat, they can be as deadly as any other soldier, and often times get more kills than they should due to being underestimated.

Grif was the only notable Space-badger encountered, and though he was a lazy sack of donuts, he was actually quite powerful, and could command ki.

The Space-badger population is extremely high, perhaps the most common of any species. As such, they are in no danger of extinction, but many planets have legalized killing them for no reason other than infestation.

The current census of this species is 495,447,808,669.

Appearance
Space-badgers are furry, sometimes sporting claws and tails, other times not. Depending on the mutated strain, they may or may not have ears. The color of their fur varies, usually orange or brown, but sometimes even blue or white. Female Space-badgers possess two tails, and are usually spotted by the long stripe down their spine, which is not present on males.

Mental Traits
Despite being vermin, Space-badgers speak basic and are sentient, bipedal creatures like most others. They, however, are seen as huge hassles because of their irrespective and wasteful lifestyles. Many of them are sly, sarcastic, and cut-throat. They have little loyalty to anyone, even their (much stronger) field commanders or even species brethren.

Space-badgers have a notorious habit for not being able to stop themselves from going on emotional or craved rampages for food, vengeance, sex, or other desirable things. They will destroy worlds by ravaging the infrastructure.

Lifespan
Space-badgers can live upwards of 50 years, though few make it to that age. They age poorly, and if they are not taken care of, they will die by 40.

Technology
Space-badgers have all sorts of technology although they have created very little of it. Most, if not all Space-badgers keep a cutting torch on them to vandalize/break into place they want to live/eat/destroy. Many are adept in piloting vehicles or working computers, but they have not created any such things. The most sophisticated of the Space-badger creations are their underground cave networks dug by hundreds of them to create a steady flow of black market supplies and shady transportation.
