"War? What do you know about war? You fight until one side gives up, we fight till one side is dead!"
The Krell are a relatively new race introduced into the game, there abilities and strengths are still a big secret but they are a impressive race.
The Krell are the inhabitants
of the planet Inversion. Like many other races, they developed
on separate continents of the world which ultimately led to 'countries'
each with a xenophobic nature. This fear in turn led to a lack
of communication with perpetuated until rising technology left
little room for individuality and the wars started. Who started
what is unknown, cities and countries fell to be replaced with
bands of troops and refugees controlled by warlords. This would
have eventually evened out except there was the intervention from
an alien source that brought the wonders of futuristic technology,
bombers, missiles and ground fighters were among the many items
sold to the various factions. The aliens playing the Krell factions
off against the other in order to perpetuate their own profit.
Finally in a dramatic resolution a nuclear power plant was destroyed
which in turn set up a chain reaction across the planet. It is
quite amazing that the entire planet was not destroyed. Under
the clouds, though, survivors have dragged themselves to the banner
of various
warlords, each pledging support to a Chief WarLord in order to
leave the planet and find a new home.
The Krell have existed on Inversion since they crawled out of
the deserts many millions of years ago. They developed and spread
to many parts of the world, although they have always been more
adapted to the dry areas. It is hypothesised that they are distant
relatives to the small rats that inhabit the desert areas. One
of the reasons for intolerance of each other relates to the behaviours
of the rats, these being independent, needing a large territory
in order to survive from the megre food sources. This goes a
long way to explain why the Krell still argue over vast areas
of space when there is generally enough room for everyone. Sometimes
their worst enemy is their genes. Having reached the top of the
food chain after having achieved self awareness. This is also
thought to have been a mutation and an unfortunate one as generally
only communal creatures develop in this direction. From this
intelligent Krell have used their skills to gain power over others,
in the same way that the dominant desert rat holds the largest
territory. This leads to uneasy alliances as the underlings are
always ambitious. To many of the Krell, the apocalypse while
an unfortunate event, was also a golden opportunity. It is spoken
by many of the more powerful Krell that 'now my lands extend as
far as the eye can see'. One inhibition though that does exist
and may be their saviour, is that they do not have limitless imaginations.
They do not seek to control entire planets as they cannot physically
and personally give their attention to all places. The other
saviour is interstellar travel . As long as the population of
the planet never archieves the same destiny, strife can be kept
to a minimum.
Due to the peculiar biochemistry of the Krell, they are able to
not only tolerate, but actually thrive in atmospheres that would
kill other life forms, these include acidic atmispheres such as
chlorine, sulphur and a few other reactive gases. They cannot
cope with carbon dioxide, alkanes and halogens.
The KRL have spent the last
few years building there forces up and securing and re-exploring
