Silkroth Clan

A new threat has risen. An empire Known as the Silkroth Clan has been rising in power. at first their primitive plant-based techknowlogy was something we laughed at. now its something we have nightmares about. My fellow Terrans, these creatures have decimated the ranks of our closest ally, the Abbidon enclave. they were wiped out without a second thought. apparently the two races started out one warp point away from each other and encountered each other in the month of 2400.3 They were negotiating for a treaty when suddenly the abbidon made an unprovoked attack on a colony ship of the Silkroth. we don't know their motives and now it looks like we never will. the reteliation was swift, carried out by a single level 6 frigate dubbed the Vengance. this attacked the offending destroyer and even though it only had 270 armor and two strange types of missiles it was victorious. because of our treaty with the abbidon we got the combat report and noticed the strangest thing; the armor on the Silkroth ship was regenerating! even some of their missiles seemed to be moving, almost as if they were alive! this single frigate went on to destroy two of the abbidon's most promising colonies as well as two other destroyers. then it began a direct assault on the homeworld. in a last desparate attempt to survive the abbidon sent out a single colony ship to colonize somewhere, a last refuge for their race. the homeworld fell and the two races lost contact with each other. then a silkroth ship chanced across the final refuge of their enemy... ...and annihilated it. now we live in fear, for if they ever discover that we exist, they will destroy us.

I actually did creat and play a SEV ame with these guys and they rocked. if you want the specifications (like what racial and technological bonuses they started out with) then send me a personal message and i'll get them to you.
