A Shadow is an insect-like organism with a spiked, violet-black carapace. They are similar in shape to a praying mantis with an upper body, shoulder spines, a mobile head and at least one pair of grasping forelimbs. The rear of the body is supported by multiple pairs of legs.

The Shadows have fourteen eyes in total divided into four groups. Two sets of three arranged, slanted upward and two sets of four arranged to align perfectly under the first sets.

The spoken language of the Shadows is a rapid series of high-frequency bursts and chirps like a cricket or grasshopper. The endonym of the Shadows is ten thousand letters long, and unpronounceable by many.

Detailed descriptions are rare, due to their ability to "cloak" their physical bodies to visual wavelengths of light. They are thus rarely seen except as shadowy, mirage-like silhouettes, which can be seen by telepaths, those using visual enhancement devices, or when the entity chooses to partially or wholly reveal itself.

Other manifestations take the form of the Shadows' three pairs of glowing orange eyes, usually as a symbolic image within a telepathic or dream vision.

Shadows very rarely engage in hand-to-hand combat to accomplish their goals, relying instead on invisibility, behind-the-scenes maneuvering and their technology.

We are looking for recruits who wish to play with honor. This clan is built upon those who wish to hunt but also wish to play fair. The Shadows do not kill banks (though we may shoot at them) and also do not hunt those below level 20. Freighters are fair game but do not kill them, taking off their shield is enough.

Just beware, the Shadows can kill you if they wish but they don't unless you are powerful enough to fight back. If you lead a Shadow on a chase, then you are just asking to be hunted, CONFRONT your chaser, show some honor.

We have been asked by the Shadow Empire to hunt one of their People. If this is true. Is this a renegade or bandit of your Species or a Training mission for this Shadow. If this is so please contact Voronin WarHawk at Fleet Command Headquarters, Darkone System Planet Klimata with the details and we will put together a Hunt. We live to Hunt. As we have many New Fighters wanting to earn their Wings this would be a good mission for them, And tell my old friend [Sha]_Grimlin Greetings and good flying for me.
