Druuge

The Druuge are greedy, piggish humanoids, who reside around the persei constellation. Their whole culture is an image of extreme capitalism, and all Druuge are the eployers of an syndicate they call "The Crimson Corporation." The bosses of this corporation are no less than the overlords of their whole civilization.

By their own words they are merchants, but a word "slave-trader" would suit them more. These silver-tongued devils always try to get alien captains to exchange their crew for them, for Fuel, "priceless Alien-artifacts" of Mauler starships.

Druuge starhip bridges are an horrible sight to behold as even the captains are in slave cloths and bound to chains. The crew are used as a living cannon fodder in battle when the ship needs more energy. They are mercilessly thrown into the furnace.
