Boromites in the Wild Galaxy

Hello and welcome back. 

Out on the outer limits of Dvarg Space on the far side of GELF space, the Dvarg ran into an Alien Species mining asteroids. This is the first major contact humanity or human origin species has made with an alien race.

The Boromites are an advanced silicon based life form. They live in family clans moving from place to place growing in wealth until they can return to their homeworld and claim a stake in the greater Boromite society. The wealthier the clan the more power and influence.

Boromites have stony skin and do not require oxygen. They can operate happily around lava flows or in the vacuum of space. Boromites use gene manipulation to aid their survival mining asteroids and dead worlds. They also breed various silicon based creatures to assist their mining operations or in some cases to keep as pets.

These figures are Boromite Engineers by Warlord Games Beyond Gates of Antares range.

Upon first contact the Dvarg and Boromites stood and watched each other trying to suss out the threat level. Until the Dvarg leader decided to go trade with the Boromites. Thankfully both species were after different minerals so their interests didn’t clash and are interested in each other’s technologies. The Dvarg are fascinated by the Boromites as silicon based life has never been encountered before. Some sects of Dvarg society believes that all stone and mineral has life and regard Boromites as evidence of this. The more extreme Dvarg sects maintain that the Boromites as sacred and should be treated as such. 

The Boromite clan is also fascinated by the Dvarg as they have never encountered carbon based life forms before. They are also interested in Dvarg mining and industrial techniques. It is also evident to both parties that they can help each other in mining operations. 

Boromites from the Clan can sometimes be found working along Dvarg crew at the human frontier. The Clan wish to learn all that they can about Dvarg, GELF and human society possibly with a view to new trading opportunities and to learn about new technologies  with the aim of dominating the Boromite home world upon return. 

The strange looking aliens attract attention in the space ports and the Dvarg’s often find themselves having to protect them. Especially as the Boromites find silicon computer chips a delicious delicacy, which can create all manner of problems in human space including angry humans wondering why the life support or vending machine has crashed. 

Thanks for looking, take care out there.
