The Guz'Pas Agzizigon is an alien government. It is the only Guz'Pas government, for Agzizigon means "Unity".
The Guz'Pas are a relatively new species, only about 6,000 years old (at game start). They developed spaceflight fairly quickly when they discovered their star was going to supernova (B.C. 1,000; 2,000 years old). Only a hundred years later, they met another race, and there was a great war. It lasted 300 years, leaving at a draw when neither could fight more. (the other species may have disappeared by now, though) Even though the Guz'Pas had not made weaponry before the war, they still managed to last that long using big missiles they could scrap together.
By this time, they had learned how to make powerful missiles cheaply. This became their primary defense, and slowly they moved onto the offense. By A.D. 1, they were already spreading out and had made contact and wars with several other aliens. (Maybe they fought the Sheragi?) Then the Great Attack happened, leaving them shrinking.
The Great Attack happened around A.D. 100, when they believed they were attacked by many strange enemies. Several of their major stars went supernova, and ships mysteriously disappeared. (Was it an attack, or was it some anomaly or something that caused this?) After a few hundred more years, they were back to a few systems.
Then they found the wormhole, and went through it. There they found systems and planets to colonize, a secret territory. But while they were colonizing, they found a weaker race that had only a few systems and no hyper/jump drives. There was a war with them that lasted 17 years, ending in the destruction of the weaker race.
After that, they lived in peace but did not expand much, until humans began to expand. Then they destroyed some convoys, but then abandoned some of their systems on the edge. There was another wormhole that connected their space to what would become human space, though the gap between their systems was small enough to use Jump Drives on.
Around A.D. 2,600, the wormhole disappeared. They were now isolated from all other races.
In the time between them leaving and the player starting, the design their shields and begin to build larger transport/cargo ships, but still new warships. (the transport/cargo ships are more medium warship to a little bigger sized.
They look like bipedal tortoises that are a little taller than humans, but their arms are more like human arms. They have skinnier arms with hands, but they cannot bend them as much as humans can, because of a partial shell covering the elbow and along that side of the arm. These arms are also very heavy, and they can strike you dead in a single blow.
They use heavy artillery weaponry with some ammo. (A big turret for a smaller ship might hold 7 rounds)
They mostly use gunboat-size ships.
They're probably tier 2 because their ships are weak health-wize, more like a little stronger than human, but their weaponry is very powerful. They also swarm and have large fleets.
They also have interesting shields. Their shields have a several-second recharge delay, but that does not make as much of a difference. They actually have fairly strong shields compared to their light hull, but they always let a percentage of the damage through. They do not need as much energy, though. Now, their shields use is in its resistance to effects: ion, heat, slowing, etc.
Hostile towards most they meet, but they are very isolated so they do not know any living races.
