Editing Marathon (section)

===S'pht===

A long time ago, when the Jjaro arrived to Lh'owon, they uplifted the local fauna and modified them to be their servants. When the last of Jjaro died, he left a race of floating cyber-brains with a shared consciousness. Despite that, they split into eleven clans, and they warred with each other. This state of affairs deeply disgusted the eleventh clan, the S'pth'Kr, and they choose to leave Lh'owon on their dimension traveling moon, leaving behind a riddle as the only clue on how to contact them that can only be solved if all clans unite. That unity came when the Pfhor invaded, and while the elders solved the riddle, they had no means to put the information to use, and so they starved to death in their Citadel instead of submitting to the slavers. The clans were shattered, the S'pht brainwashed to serve the Pfhor as computer engineers and hackers, with the legend of the saviors from the eleventh clan floating in their shared consciousness.

'''Compilers:''' Outwardly resembling legless cloaked humanoids, these S'pth are used by Pfhor for mental labor, and are armed with homing plasma cannon in their "chest" area when used in combat. Some are equipped with invisibility devices.

'''Defenders:''' The S'pht'kr Elite Guard, they wear advanced flying, shielded power armor with automatic plasma cannons, and are capable of annihilating all but the toughest opposition in no time.

'''F'lickta:''' Imagine a reptilian, headless yeti with a huge vertical mouth (which leads to their wombs) taking almost the entire upper body, and you will be right on the mark. These are the S'pht animal ancestors, used in the old days by S'pht as janitors due to their physiology absorbing any outside organic material.
