Creature: (Vraaug) ranges from 6-10 feet tall, amass between 200-500lbs, they are tall and hairy humanoids. Faces appear humanoid but, they posses qualities that make them non-human. Between 1.5- 2x as tall as a normal person, around 3x heavy...Ecology: a mix of cultures: Scottish/Nordic in culture, language, and apparel. Their society is clan-like and seemingly primitive, but they have their own plethora of techs and research.
Communication and sattelite support systems don't work due to electrical interference, thus they use special calls that imitate wildlife,but only a Vraaug can tell the difference.
Home Planet: their home is a mountianous and Storm covered climate that has numerous rivers that empty into a large basin, which then evaporates into the cloudy atmosphere above.
Creatures on the planet are large and agressive, mainly mammals and a massive dragon species.
Combat: most weapons are tribal or even Midieval in appearance, but have been used in such a way that they are able to hold off plantetary Invaders as well as the afore mentioned wildlife.
Tactics: make use of shock-and-awe, gruella warfare, and paratrooping tactics. In the short term, they are superior in physical prowess and suprise. But in a long term engagement, they begin to suffer due to the fact that they no longer hold the advantage of suprise as they would in a hunt.
Racial Stats:
High base hp
High attack (Melee and range)
Medium range
Low vehicle use (no more than 6)
No satellite support
Racial passive ablities:
Regeneration: Heal (4-10)hp per turn
SR: 20-80

Re: Vraaugs
So let the how that's supposed to work? keyboard battle begin!
(I sort of even like the concept but the must stand up to other races in a sensful way)
I were deadly serious when I told you they need to have an possibility to space travel between star systems. The space battles are going to be the part of game and the playable faction that can't take part in it is pointless. Unless you agree to make them non-playable neutrals (then less units, however some of them could be avaiable for all/most playable faction somewhat modified, I want that for all races like that, I'm sort of spoiling oh no)
I will let stuff like ecosystem buliding slip (I mean, being big is not the most superior way to win in natural selection, but yeah let's not go that deep), but I won't let them being strong enough to fight with über advanced civilization without some explanations. If they weapons are mainly melee they would be slaughtered by laser guns and stuff, I think you have something in your sleeve for that. They need to more or the less have united home planet for lore purposes. They need to be able to logisticaly keep up with others. Shock-and-ave is based on, among others, using technological advantage, that's quite ironic here, but I guess you mean the number and suprise advantage, in short term. Do they have any psionic (magic) talents?

Their means of tech are different, I said.
Weapons
Lightning-based, magnetic
RANGED
• railguns
• guass cannons (artillery railguns that can tear apart even jump ships due to velocity that it travels)
• PPCs (heavy lighting gun that melts armor and fries electronics)
• crossbows with AP bolts that explode upon impact
• EMP grenades and poisonous herbs
MELEE
• Lightning maces, and staves(use magnets and electricity storage apparatuses to discharge electrical blasts on impact)
ARMOR
• Hard light armor (Absorbs laser weapons, allowing them to power their weapons and maintain power on their armor)
• Magnetic Shields (draw non laser weapons to them, renders them ineffective)
MAGIC/PSIONICS
• Tribal majik (work for mind effects, buff allies) works like Celtic/barbaric rituals, warpaint, voodoo.
• herbs and tonics (heal allies, poison/toxic for enemies, some native plants can even be explosive)
I suppose I could come up with a smaller speciman for use of psionics, but it may be very similar to the grey humans that work with reptiles.

Re: Vraaugs
Their appearance description reminds me of those Wookiees from Star Wars, kinda like this concept of futuristic big foot.
Stay Awesome!
