Skrull
Skrulls are green humanoids that range in height from four feet to seven feet tall. They have pointed ears and a ruffled or lined chin. Their hair is typically black. The most unique ability of the Skrull race is their ability to shapeshift.
The Skrulls began as a relatively peaceful race, cooperating with other sentient life they encountered and encouraging trade. This ended when they encountered the Kree, a relatively young race in the galaxy.
Upon encountering the Kree, the Skrull ambassadors were killed almost immediately, and had their ship and technology stolen. At the time, the Skrulls had not yet mastered hyperspace technology, so it took decades before they could respond to the attack, and by then, the Kree had already replicated and mastered the technology. This was the start of the seemingly eternal Skrull-Kree War. While there have been occasional lulls in conflict, the two races have not considered peace in close to five centuries. The constant war has turned the Skrull into a much more warlike race, determined to create new technology to defeat the Kree once and for all - this has created the biological weapons of the Super Skrulls and the WarSkrulls.
Skrulls have used their abilities to put agents in many factions on many different worlds. They see this as a precaution should they be forced into another war.
While currently not a voting member due to the Skrull refusal to even consider peace talks with the Kree, the Skrull are technically a part of the United Galactic Alliance. The Skrull have also been known to have dealings with the Black Horde and the New Space Conglomerate.
