	The Fra'al's technology is considerably advanced, and in many aspects it is superior to their Imperial equivalents, with the possible exception of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Their most important discovery is Ether technology, with which they constructed their feared '''Fra'al Battlecruisers'''. These monsters are rarely seen, but they are rightly feared by any other space faring species that has found them before. The Ether technology powers their Ether Cannons, weapons that throw beams of [[rape\|pure corrosion that cannot be blocked by neither void nor power shields]]. This basically means that the target's innards start corroding from the inside out, which can cause such funny things as breaking the Warp Engines and causing a small warp tear inside of the ship, or making the oxygen generators break, suffocating everyone inside. For the most part, though, this serves to burn down the ship's shields so as to attack them with barrages of lance fire afterwards. This technology is so good that [[Chaos]] is trying to replicate it, it is that effective. Suffice it to say, the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] desperately want to get their hands on one of these ships, to try and study them, and go to great lengths to find and capture them if possible. Would be interesting to see if a Gellar field can block it. Because Warp.

	Outside of Ether technology, other pieces of Fra'al technology include Fra'al night shards, shards that are often used as divination foci by some Imperial [[psyker]]s, and Fra'al glass knives. The knives appear as jagged, dagger-like blades that appear to have been carved from a single piece of smoky crystal. Despite their primitive appearance, they are sharp enough to cut through ceramite, and they keep their sharpness by continually fracturing tiny shards from their cutting edge, with the shards often finding their way into the wounds the knife makes, turning cuts into agonizing injuries.

	It is widely believed between the Ordo Xenos that Humanity's first contact with the Fra'al goes back to the time of the [[Dark Age of Technology]] ''[[Alternity\|(about a year before WotC bought TSR, to be precise)]]'', though more details on that are beyond scarce. The first recorded contacts with the Imperium were during the [[Great Crusade]]. Apparently, the [[Space Marines\|Astartes Legions]] fought many Fra'al outposts and spaceships. At the very least we know that the [[Salamanders]], [[White Scars]], [[Word Bearers]], [[Death Guard]], [[Night Lords]] and [[Alpha Legion]] fought them during the Imperium's expansion. We even know that the Fra'al were powerful enough to cause frequent casualties for the Astartes, with many of those wounded being entombed in [[Dreadnought\|Dreadnoughts]].

We even know that the Fra'al were powerful enough to cause frequent casualties for the Astartes, with many of those wounded being entombed in [[Dreadnought\|Dreadnoughts]]. An interesting detail implying their weapons often failed to kill Space Marines, but were strong enough to nearly do so with noteworthy consistency. Something that is normally an extremely rare occurrence due to Space Marines being so durable that anything that doesn't outright kill them is almost always something they will recover from.

	Post-Heresy, Mankind has rarely had contact with them, though they can frequently be heard of as piratical raiders, attacking civilian vessels and lightly-protected military vessels for whatever resources they could find. They can also be found as merchants, doing business with [[Rogue Traders]], selling their weird alien tech and [[troll\|whatever valuable resource they managed to steal on a previous raid]]. This trade is heavily watched over by the [[Inquisition]] as it's done inside the borders of the Imperium.

	One would think that the Imperium would consider a psychic race like the Fra'al a prime target for extermination. This has not yet come to pass, probably due to the constant stream of even greater threats the Imperium is facing during the Time of Ending and subsequent Age of the Dark Imperium. There is also information suggesting the Fra’al and an [[Star*Drive\|ancient human federation]] along with a [[Aleerian\|few]] [[Sesheyan\|other]] [[T'sa\|alien]] [[Weren\|species]] teamed up against the Men of Iron. If the Imperium or at least its leadership and Inquisitors are aware of this, it could explain why the Fra’al have been spared. Also probably because they are smart enough to not fuck with the premier galactic superpower. The ones fought during the Great Crusade were probably pirates/a rogue splinter faction that was highly militarised.
