Cold

National/Species Character
The Cold have stayed within the limits of two star systems for their entire existence as a civilization. They are territorial to a fault, having rebuffed centuries of assaults from the Uul'ba-Rai and others. Their physiology is believed to be either arachnid or insectoid. Their technological level is similarly unknown. One of the few established facts about them is their diet: carnivorous and indiscriminate, they eat prisoners and thaw out the bodies of the decompressed. The Rai have always constituted a serious irritation: absolutely inedible and fanatically hostile.

Their presence near the Jade Worlds is becoming more aggressive, for unknown reasons. Many believe that for some reason, they are running out of food.

Their true name is unknown. The name 'Cold' was given them by the Rai.

Observed Vessels
Only two types of Cold starship have ever been documented. Variations of these designs go back as far as the Rai have records.
