Judiciaries

The Algassi are one of the first species to join the Compact of Species. They were attacked by the Gheron Imperium early in the Compact's history but were defended by the Compact, and have been loyal to it since.

Description
The species were strangely built, with short, wide-set lower legs and two sets of arms; the larger pair branched from their shoulders: thick, strong but with poor dexterity. A second, smaller set of limbs were folded against their chests, poking out through appropriate openings in their clothing. They had short snouts filled with many small, sharp teeth, three sets of specialized nostrils and a long tongue with a flexible larynyx that allowed them to produce an extremely wide range of vocalizations, making them natural linguists. They were covered with short, stiff fur ranging from blue to grey to green in hues. Their large eyes sat close to the crown of their heads, giving them an excellent span of vision and sensitivity to motion, but relatively poor visual resolution. Their ears were cup-like and well-suited to determining the origin of sounds.

History
The Algassi were one of the first races to join the Compact of Species. They were a protectorate of the Compact due to the Gheron's aggressive expansion, and later became a fully fledged member.

They were named Judiciaries because of their streamlining of the Compact's legal code and prosecution.
