Irken

Hailing from Planet Irk, Irkens specialize in tactical warfare, and war engineering. Their goal: total conquest of the Universe, referred to as "Operation Impending Doom II." Their social hierarchy is based solely on height. Irkens are not associated with any faction - they have their own plans for universal domination. When they believe it favors them, they have sided with the Black Horde.

Within the universe, the Irken Empire is not particularly feared by any faction - mostly because the numbers are always in favor of the UGA, BH or HF, but nonetheless, in open space, going against the Irkens without backup can be quite dangerous.
