Gathyengi are a xenophobic humanoid species who act as pirates, striking from hidden bases within hyperspace. They are theorized to be descended from humans abducted by the psionic Masters from Earth millennia ago to serve as both labor and food source.
Gathyengi (sing. gathyen) are ectomorphic, almost skeletal in appearance. Their skin is dusty yellow to the color of parchment, and leathery. Their skull-like faces, solid black eyes, and pointed teeth (likely ritually sharpened) give them a fearsome appearance in keeping with their reputation for violence.
A gathyengi raider will have a crew compliment of various classes, similar to any human vessel. A raid will be led by a captain of 4-7th level, depending on the size of the ship. It is likely there will be at least one combat psychic among them.
All gathyengi can shift back into hyperspace at will. Whether this is an innate ability or technological is unclear. Dead gathyengi shift back into hyperspace as well, thwarting attempts at close examination.

Nice adaption. Do they take prisoners (who vanish with them into hyperspace) or just leave carnage behind?
Thanks. Mostly, it's just material goods, but they sometimes take captives for who knows what purpose.
Nice--always liked the Fiend Folio. These are some tough customers. Very cool.
I think gathyengi are the perfect target for conversion. Organized space pirates, an on going nemesis for a campaign. They make a great enemy you need to keep a watch on or find yourself breathing space.
Nice, I like this.
Thanks, guys!
