Editing Vasenica sector (section)

===Xenos===

'''Brachyura'''
Tau-allied crustaceans, invaluable to the Earth Caste.

'''Gul'nak'roth'''
A five-limbed, lamprey-mouthed, red-grey hued, fireproof, race of xenos mercenaries that travel the eastern fringe after their homeworld was lost ot the Imperium in late M39. A moderate sized band has taken up shop in a abandoned space station in the Tau region of space. In exchange that they help the Tau out from time to time.

Their primary weaponry at all scales are known to the imperium as "incinerator beams", which project intense heat over significant distances. Whilst similar to las weapons, these use continuous intense heat to damage the target, rather than the thermal shock of las weapons. The fall of the homeworld was significantly affected by the impotence of incinerator beams against imperial naval void shields, causing the loss of native orbital control in no time at all.

The survivors of the race are the crews of those ships which escaped or were absent from the planetary defence. They travel the spaceways salvaging hulks, such that they can arm their ships with weaponry capable of damaging void shields, and offer their services as mercenaries to any and all that will pay.


'''Creks'''
The Creks are a race of superstitious amphibians who has an acute sense of smell and a long slender bipedal body.
Their homeworld T'rask is very wet and boggy, and it rains almost continuously. A lack of rain is said to be bad luck.
Their spaceships use sprinkler systems to simulate the rain. This not only makes them feel lucky, it also keeps their skin moist, making them more comfortable and keeping them healthy. They have a mercantile culture and are ruled by a wealthy monarchy.

As one of the few minor spacefaring races in the Vasenica sector they have devoloped a small mercantile empire around their home system. They have also avoided the Imperium's wrath.
The Creks are heavily developed when it comes trading with various other minor xenos races and have besed their entire empire around it. Their main product being spices of various forms that can be used from everything to conservation of food to drugs.
Before the Tau entered the sector they usually traded with other xenos that have barley left their own star, and a few humans on the black market.
They welcomed the Tau with open arms as they could be used to spread their own influence and power. But the Tau water caste are crafty, and always worked their way around the topic during negotiations.

As of yet the Creks haven't fully integrated themselves into the Tau Empire, but they do aid the Tau by using their transport ships to ship goods to the Gue'vesa and Tau colonies in the sector, and thus leave some breathing room for the Tau fleet.
