Umbrix
Hidden fleets — undetectable by conventional probes, in size or composition.
Who they are
Almost nothing is known about the Umbrix, and that is not negligence on the part of the chroniclers. Their fleets cannot be found with conventional probes: it does not look like a small force is coming, it looks like nothing is coming. Then they arrive.
The intelligence files of every other species have blank spaces where the Umbrix numbers should be — nobody can name the size or the composition of the fleet until the hulls light up on the sensors. By then the decision has been made for you.
Their weapons carry the same principle further: they do not merely wound, they take. Part of the damage they deal is fed back into their own hulls — it resurrects nothing, but their damaged units stay standing far longer than the enemy calculated from the numbers.
Their civilisation grew up in the dark and understands crystal better than anyone: they hide by its resonance and they see by it. Their mines draw more from the same knowledge their concealment comes from.
