Race Details

The Kroom come from the same homeworld as the Geeva and have been in competition (and often war) with them for all of recorded history. The Geeva were the first to the stars, with the Kroom following shortly thereafter.

The Kroom seem to have inferior intelligence compared to other interstellar races, and historically they are always slightly behind in technology compared to the Geeva. However, Kroom seem to have hit a technological roadblock recently. Around when they made contact with the Erader, Kroom progress reached a seemingly unnatural standstill--the opposite of what one might expect after discovering a new alien race. There are some signs pointing to outside interference as the cause.

Society

Kroom do not have concept of "civilian." Every Kroom is willing and able to pick up arms and fight, though they do have priorities on their task. Logistics personnel, for example, will not actively attempt to fight. Also, due to this lack of distinction, they do not separate enemy non-combatants and combatants; they just see enemies. As such, the Kroom will naturally commit what other races would consider war crimes, for example destroying an enemy hospital. To the Kroom, whatever it takes to defeat their enemy is fair game.

The Kroom have a chain of command. For example, each ship will have an individual who commands the entire ship, and if they die, another will automatically assume command. Same goes for their infantry squads and other teams. While the Kroom clearly have one or more commanders who make plans and control the Kroom force on larger scale, the size, structure, and composition of the Kroom high command is still unknown to outsiders.

Kroom are known to be extremely loyal to their superiors and willing to die if ordered to. Almost as if they were engineered for war, the Kroom are not stopped by things like pain or survival instinct. As warlike as they are, surprisingly very little conflict occurs among them. The Kroom Kanai rebellion is an extremely rare case which was also suspected to be caused by an outsider.

Technology

Kroom Kakaima combat technologies ranges around T1 possibly up to T1.3, slightly below average efficiency but also resistant to some effects used by Geeva such as ion and slowing. Kroom life have little luxury and they do not care much about it; most of their "civilian" technologies are aimed towards improving their production of warships and weapons. Tuough, unlike their main rival, they rarely develop special weapons and will try to take down enemies with brute force.

Prior to current date Kroom's tech was reported to be progressing at unusual rate often always right behind the Geeva.

Kroom Kanai is mostly similar to Kroom Kakaima except their production quality are usually much lower as they lack of expertise and equipment.

Factions

Homeworld: Oliga system, Geenav

Kroom Kakaima

The original, aggressive Kroom that shoot first and rarely talk. They rarely consider diplomacy.

Capital: Okrevug system, Vukkagor

Kroom Kanai

A new fraction that rebelled against the Kakaima, the Kanai seem to be more intelligent and more willing to talk. Currently they do not process the manufacturing capability of the Kroom Kakaima to produce high quality warships.

Capital: Ginma system, Nukorgal
