Noghler



AL 6, TL 5, some TL 6

Kermac Thrall Species

Noghlers closely resemble an upright, walking, 12 meter tall Green Hell Stomper, with a face full of milky white tentacles, six upper arms, sharp looking mandibles and twelve black button eyes.

Noghlers use a combination of verbal and visual sign communication. The verbal part is only about 20 percent of the information while the facial tentacles convey the rest

A Noghler city looks like a Terran termite nest. It has brood chambers deep below the surface city

The Noghlers used a tough ceramic material for their body armor. Noghler weaponry was inferior to Terran weapons. Noghler leaders or Officers appeared to use personal shields, their common soldiers did not. Unshielded Noghlers are extremely vulnerable to a Screamer, it drops them in convulsions.

Captured Noghlers did not show any signs of psionic influence but NAVINT was certain the Noghler did not fight for the Kermac on their own free will.

The Noghler homeworld of Glher was captured by the Union in 4937, OTT when Lt. Masters successfully imitated a Kermac "Order Lord" and ordered the Noghler to surrender.
