The Ethereals from X-Com: Enemy Unknown game (great freakin game by the way!). The closest thing to the Cross I could find. |
Avari'stacha, or the
Cross as they are commonly known among the humans, are a bipedal alien race
with four arms, two greater and two lesser arms. Large arms are for strength the lesser arms
are for agility. They appear to by a
cross between insects and lizards. When
they appear without their helmets, one can see their mandible and four
eyes. They are so named The Cross by the humans for their ships when first sighted appeared to be cross shaped. There appears to be three distinct
sub-races.
The Sage (Amar)
Class are the only class that has the psychic abilities, though all of the
Cross have a limited form telepathy that allows them to silently
communicate. The Sage Class is
incredibly thin and tall, standing about two meters tall. There are only around a hundred of the sages
left and all are incredibly powerful psychics who ponder the mysteries of
Twani'cjik. The most powerful one is
Wan'chett because he is so incredibly old, at least ten times as old as any
Cross.
- Ashae'jin is the leader of the Sages and sits in the High Triumvirate. Female
- Wan'chett is the oldest known Cross due to his extended sleep for two-thousand years on Mars.
The Soldier
(Re'kesh) Class much taller and look incredible buff. They stand around two hundred fifteen
centimeter and weigh upwards to a hundred thirty-five kilos. They are incredibly strong, at least two to
three times as strong as a fit human.
They are quick and surprisingly silent and number among the most
numerous of the Cross due to the massive cloning of Soldiers. They are put into a variety of Kesh. The first Kesh is made up of naturally born
Soldiers. The second and on are made up
of cloned soldiers. Naturally born
Soldiers are generally more independent than those of other kesh for those of
the Second and beyond are created for loyalty above all.
- Mak'shar of the Second Kesh. He is a cloned soldier.
- Mak'tar of the Second Kesh. He is a cloned soldier.
- Una'keel is the leader of the Soldiers, a First Kesh warrior who sits on the High Triumvirate .
The final class are
the Workers. Those of the Worker (Soxi)
Class cover every one from simple laborers to doctors and scientists. They are shorter and a bit more stocky then
the Sages but are a bit stronger. There
are two sub-classes of the Worker Caste, the intelligent thinker with a larger
cranial capacity that many of the technicians doctors and scientist come from,
and a stronger, resilient laborer class.
- Arli'tan is the Cross doctor on the cityship in charge of filling the space for the labs. Female.
- My'cor sits on the High Triumvirate for the workers.
