Question
Garoff is a member of this race’s Council of Thirteen, which presided over this race’s Empire. The Quantum Virus was programmed to destroy a different race to prevent this race from acquiring more shock troops. Some Taxxons, a race of eternally hungry centipede-like beings, were led by Arbron in rebellion against this race. Though it causes insanity, instant maple and ginger oatmeal can replace this race’s need to absorb rays from their home world’s sun or artificial (*) Kandrona generators. This race ran a Boy Scouts-like organization called The Sharing to attract new human subjects. Edriss 562 and Esplin 9466 are high-ranking officers in this race’s military known as Vissers.
