Description

The Qua are a bipedal life form of aquatic origins. They have long limbs and octopoidal heads with six to eight, 18 inch-long feelers on their face below their large saucer shaped eyes. They have two legs and two arms with feet and hands respectively and a pair of extremely long tentacles like a squids atop their shoulders that can extend 15 to 20 feet in length with a multitude of sharp hooks that can pierce two inches of steel with ease. These tentacles are manipulative and incredible tough. Their have wicked beak like mouths in the center of their mass of face tentacles. The Qua stand about 8 feet tall, with their leaders standing about 12 feet tall and their God-King Ahur-Imtep stands nearly twenty feet tall.

The Qua communicate via multicolored bio-luminescence through their skin as well as telepathy between one another. When speaking with a non-Qua they use telepathy to communicate only by creating a link between the speaker and listeners that replicates the illusion of speech. When used to discover what others may be thinking,Qua telepathy does not show the Qua every single thought of an individual; the ability tends to show thoughts that are the most significant in the mind and that have a directional pattern to them; this means, put simply, that directed thoughts are going to be thoughts that are known, but telepathy is not a process that occurs all of the time; it tends to be selective; from what is known, this is due to brainwave patterns.

Personality

The Qua use a combination of technology and psionics to expand their empire and their weapons, armor and ships exhibit this marriage of ideals. The Qua are extremely deadly and have no concern or care for other life, working to strip planets of resources to fuel their ships and worlds. They have allies who also believe in the philosophy of multiversal conquest.

Equipment

Known Qua psychic powers: While these powers have been exhibited by the Qua, most Qua have only access to two of these talents and once selected never changes. While their leaders have access to four and their god-king can use all of them.

Telekinesis – The ability to move objects with only the use of the mind. A maximum weight of 2 tons is possible for the average Qua.
Pyrokinesis - The ability to manipulate heat with the use of the mind.
Electrokinesis - The ability to manipulate electrical fields with only the use of the mind.
Magnokinesis – The ability to manipulate magnetic fields with only the use of the mind.
Photokinesis - The ability to manipulate light with only the use of the mind.
Hydrokinesis – The ability to manipulate water with only the use of the mind.
Aerokinesis - The ability to manipulate air with only the use of the mind.
Vitakinesis – The ability to heal mentally and/or physically with only the use of the mind.
Latrosis - The ability to heal physical conditions with only the use of the mind.
Mentatsis – The ability to heal mental conditions with only the use of the mind.

Type: Qua Mothership:

Qua motherships are roughly 1,120 kilometers (700 miles) in diameter in a bell shape, and they carry the circular Xicotl assault ships that are roughly 15 miles in diameter that hang underneath the bell on long, expansive structures reminiscent of a jellyfish. A Qua mothership has a large stasis ball in the center of the ship where hundreds of thousands of Qua eggs are kept in embryonic fluids. When new Qua are needed to replace those lost in combat the eggs are taken from stasis and placed in genetic accelerators that can birth a fully grown Qua, fed with the proper intelligence, skills and aptitudes required to replace the lost Qua in a matter of hours.

216,745,200 tons

Diameter: 700 miles (1,120 kilometers)
Dome height: 250 miles (402 kilometers)
Super structures length: 18 miles (28 kilometers) long (20) each holding 3 Assault ships

Propulsion: A version of the Calabi–Yau manifold N-fold generators (x20) These engines have the power to create a Calabi-Yau torus between two points in space allowing the ship to travel within the tubal vortex of dark energy foam, being propelled forward on the rising and vanishing zero-point energy foam at speeds faster than light.

Complement: 429,112 officers and men ships crew. Ground/Ship defense forces-. 223,250 Qua warriors. Total compliment- 646,362.

Sensors The mothership sensors have a passive range of 250,000 miles. Active scans are out to 170,000 miles, while active searches are 90,000 miles.

Armament:

Ionized plasma guns (x10,000): Able to fire highly charged plasmas through various heavy gasses. Maximum effective range: 4,103 kilometers ( 2,550 miles)

Tachyon anti-ship missile launchers (x12,000): Quad weapon mounted launchers spaced along the craft at intervals to allow maximum missile defense. Maximum effective range: 11,720 kilometers (7,282 miles)

Accelerated pulse laser cannons (x15,000): Triple barreled laser batteries spaced along the spacecraft to allow maximum covering fire. Maximum effective range: 19,392 kilometers (12,050 miles)

Heavy particle mason accelerator long range assault cannons (x2000): Generating 650MJ of power In massive four-barreled weapon turrets, spaced around the mothership evenly. Maximum effective range: 192,700 kilometers (119,738 miles)

Point defense Integrated dark energy shield system (x500): Dark energy knobs that are computer controlled point defense shield generators that can create dense energy shields around the ship to a maximum distance of 5 miles out. Spaced at intervals around the mothership to provide the most protection possible for key areas.

Armor:
Belt: 112 feet of Hassium-Tungsten alloy.
Hull: 110.4 feet of Mendelevium-Hassium alloy.

Spacecraft carried:

Atl- fighter/bombers (2,244)
Xicotl- Assault ships (60)




Qua weaponry consists of melee weapons and long range weapons such as lasers and kinetic weapons. All Qua weaponry can be influenced by their psionic abilities to generate greater effectiveness or efficiency . They wear Ablative armor, which is armor designed to negate damage by itself being damaged or destroyed through the process of ablation
