Editing Xenos of the Hektor Heresy (section)

=Other Dangerous Aliens=

===Cyfecti===
{{Main|Cyfecti}}

The Cyfecti were a once proud and powerful race of xenos hailing from the outer reaches of Segmentum Obscurus. Little is known to the Imperium of their history, but the Cyfecti are believed to have risen to power in the wake of the Old Ones and their War in Heaven. They are incredibly powerful and creative psykers whose empire had long since fallen after they had been corrupted by the Ruinous Powers. But their influence remains still, and was instrumental in the start of the Heresy.

===Lazarites===
{{Main|Lazarites}}

A Reptilian Race with a complex social Hierachy, the Lazarites would have been unremarkable were it not for the fact that the Primarch of the XVI Legion, [[Aubrey The Grey]] would land on their world and be adopted into their culture. Through him the Lazarites would fight alongside his Legion as their Auxilia for several decades, but the sins of the Primarch would lead to the destruction of the Lazarites homeworld and the eventual extinction of the Lazarites.

===Amatteir===

A race of humanoid slavers based in the [[Al-Sherar Sector]] in the Galactic South-East.  Though they had substantial dissimilarities to humans, some have theorised that the Amatteir are the result of genetic tinkering on human stock.  Their society is divided into two castes; the more numerous and brutish soldiers, and an epicurean leadership whose search of pleasure often dulls their intellect.  They came into conflict with the Imperium during the [[Pacification of the Chwiorydd Hardd]] and were effectively exterminated during the [[Al-Sherar Sector War]].

===Anatik===

{{Main|Anatik}}

The frightening and vicious appearance of the Anatik may seem at first glance to portray a savage race, but these arachnoid beings are actually quite civilized. Their complex system utilizes a sliding scale type of democracy, giving more votes to social classes who are more directly affected by the matters being voted on, and advancement is determined solely by merit. The creatures are famous for their cryonic weaponry and other cryotechnology 

===The Strixoros===

{{Main|Strixoros}}

The Strixoros were once simply the primitive apex predators of a small planet near the Eye of Terror, but their curiosity lead them to searching the stars. They found a patron who appreciated such curiosity, the chaos god Tzeentch, and were taught his mysterious ways. Though they now tend to utilize the power of the warp in combat, the race retains their physical terror from the days of predation so long past, with some even further enhanced by their dark benefactor. 

===The Yaotl===

{{Main|The Yaotl}}

The Yaotl are a particularly disturbing species, true monsters that only evolution run amok could produce. Mostly encountered in the Tempestus and Pacificus segmentums, these xenos are best known for their freakish biologies, far from human psychologies and violent raids on Imperial space.

===Morkai===

Reclusive and ominous xenos from the Eastern Fringe, whose hosts of fearless and grotesque bio-warriors ride between stars in massive spire-vessels, falling from the skies like shooting stars to reach the planetary surface. What little is known about them at this point, is both their brutality and willingness to sacrifice much matches the Imperium's own in respect to other species, and that their armor menaces with jagged surfaces of ebony.

===Ohghajj===
The Ohghajj are a race of humanoid creatures who dwell mostly just beyond the far northern fringe of the Imperium. Their skin is a deep crimson, and they stand about 7 ft tall as adults. They are slightly clumsy in their youth, but this improves with age, and some older Oghajj can be skilled close quarters fighters. As a race, the Oghajj have a fascination with fire (flamers were the first weapons they developed) and many fight with metal poles with chambers filled with burning oil, or the flame grenades that are distinctive of their race. They are led by warleaders who are defined by their weak mastery of pyrotechnic psychics. There are always 16 of these, each one heading a seperate tribe, and each thirty or so years (Ohghajj grasp of mathematics is notoriously poor)they meet and fight for the honour of leading all the tribes on a great campaign into the wider imperium, weeding out the weak before the great breeding season that always immediately follows these campaigns.For generations the Eldar empire would deal with this by simply deflecting the rampaging aliens into other species. In their few encounters during the great crusade, meanwhile,the imperium simply dedicated a medium sized battlefleet to blunt the advance of the crude Ohghajj ships. However, the latest of these Great Warleaders to be elected, Jhyphajj (the double j is an honorific added to the name of each great warleader) is considerably more cunning than the rest of his crude kin...

A feudal empire of insectoid hive-minds in Segmentum Pacificus. The Markian Corps all but exterminated them after they attempted to seize Imperial territory.

===Vyre===
{{main|Vyre}}
An antisocial race of immortals.

===Ruavu Grun===
{{Main|Ruavu Grun}}

In the wake of the Rebellion which nearly destroyed the Imperium, it is hard to remember that halfway through the Great Crusade the Imperium was menaced by a different threat, one that emerged from the outer dark and swept through Segmentum Tempestus like an unstoppable wave, laying waste to vast swathes of the Imperium.

Once the name ‘Ruavu Grun’ symbolized a dark tide of destruction which threatened to reverse the entire tide of the Great Crusade, and which took great sacrifices from the Astartes and the Mechanicum to contain and eventually eradicate.
