Weapons: [hider][img]https://img00.deviantart.net/f4b6/i/2011/313/e/f/alien_guns_addons_by_sobaku_chiuchiu-d4flfv2.jpg[/img][/hider] The P.E. 01 is a classic rifle used by the iIllithid empire. While an energy based rifle, it is capable of using ballistic based ammunition if needed. This rifle is truly special in its ability to siphon psionic energy form its wielder in order to super-charge its rounds for extra damage. It is a semi-auto rifle with deadly accuracy and is a highly desired weapon on the black market. EMP grenades followed by canisters containing various toxins and poisons as well as 'other' chemicals. These other chemicals act as boosters to allow average specimens to perform incredible acts of physical prowess outside their range on normal abilities. Armor: While both of his suits posses advanced filters and are suited well against harsh environments and extreme climates, they are different in function.

The appendages on the helmet are linked telepathically to Varrus' brain. This allows them to help Varrus when it comes to holding tools or various chemicals. It possesses decent shielding and works extremely well as a hazmat suit but would certainly be rather unreliable in combat situations. It is rather lightweight and flexible allowing the wearing to move comfortably and quickly.

It possesses decent shielding and armor along with advanced filtering equipment. It possesses several devices that allow Varrus to both inject himself and disperse various chemicals. The suit is not very flexible and is rather heavy but allows Varrus to perform tasks his fragile body would not normally be able to do. Items: Aside from surgical equipment and a variety of secret chemical cases, Varrus carries nothing of interest except a list of names written on paper. Skills: A science officer and medical expert. Varrus is capable of performing surgery on an alarming amount of species that are not limited to humanoid. His study of most forms of life has lead to to experiment with a variety of chemical agents. His skills as a chemist are also very noteworthy and have allowed him to develop a variety of chemical agents that the alliance has come up against. Powers: Despite his frail body, Varrus possess a powerful mind. His psionic abilities allow him to speak telepathically and link multiple minds at once. When unarmed, he can also charged up psionic energy for energy based attacks. Due to his field of expertise, Varrus has taken particular enjoyment in peering into the minds of his victims to for interrogation. Strong willed individuals can resist but don't worry, Varrus has chemicals that will make them much more compliant. Other: Varrus has a very specific reputation as a cold blooded murderer. His agents have allowed the Federation to make entire Alliance colonies disappear in a single gas attack. Make no mistake, Varrus is a killer and enjoys it more than any one. Other:The Illithid Empire stands as a technological marvel. While some worlds have advanced more in weapons, armor, and instruments of war or space travel, the Illithid Empire stands unrivaled in medical advancements. Their naturally fragile forms helped bring about their need to develop a strong medical based technological system. What makes the Empire so dangerous is their natural affinity for psionic abilities. This enables their entirety of the Empire to function as a makeshift hivemind, operating only to advance the species and it's Empire. While their tech and psionic abilities make them troubling in combat, their understanding of genetic mutations allows the Empire to create massive monstrosities to ravage the battlefield. The Empire is not an aggressive one however, often buying dead or extremely hazardous worlds from other governments and terraforming the planet to enable a rich evolution of life. This enables a new world thought unbenifical and new species to emerge to join the Empire. The Illithid Empire remained neutral throughout the conflict between the Federation and the Alliance though the Empire wished to have a hand in it. Sending diplomats to meet with representatives and both governments. The objective was to offer medical and relief aid by donating doctors and advanced medical supplies. They had no intention of being aggressors in the war. While the Alliance unwillingness to work with 'aliens' declined the offer with rather rude comments, the Federation accepted. With the relief aid of the Illithid Empire to back them. Casualty rates dropped dramatically. Neutralization of alliance chemical warfare also helped the Federation tremendously. When the alliance caught wind the the Illithid Empire was giving relief aid to the Federation, they began to specifically target medical outposts in hopes to make the Empire back off. [/hider]
