[quote=@Sigma] [@Hael] By the way. How tall are Xim on average anyway? Since you mentioned they were Giants. [/quote] [quote=@Monarch] *Is now interested* [/quote] On average? That's a more complex question than you realize. You see, the Xim come in over 200 different "breeds", each of which has been genetically modified in a different way to suit a different purpose. On top of that, Xim are allowed to undergo cosmetic changes to make them taller, skinnier, shorter, fatter, uglier, prettier, scarier, bluer, greener, and so on. No two Xim look exactly alike, and so there is no "average" Xim. But, when invading humanoids, the Xim tend to send "Crushers", a breed of Xim that is over sixteen feet tall, possesses six spidery legs, and is able to lift hundreds of pounds with one hand (of which, it has four). It is highly resistant to energy and can be shot dozens of times and just keep moving. It also literally has eyes on the back of its head. This is balanced out by the fact that Crushers are made of DNA from a dozen different species, which has massive side-effects. For one, they can't live past twelve. For two, they have muscle spasms and seizures constantly. So they normally wouldn't even make it to twelve, but instead die of a seizure or something at 8. It is possible to trigger these spasms, seizures, and the such by administering an electric pulse to their skulls. But the Xim would never tell the Federation that, so it is up to human ingenuity to see if they can figure out the one major weakness of these monsters. If humans realized that weakness, they could probably incapacitate the Crushers with nothing but some mild electric charges. If not, the Crushers could wipe out human colonies like they were nothing. It all depends on rather the Federation realizes the weakness.
