UAR 1

UAR 01 is the abbreviated version of Unidentified Alien Race 01, the designation given to the alien race that struck at the newly formed Hesperus colony in 2090. The Federation knows next to nothing about them that was not manifestly revealed during the Hesperus Incident.

What is known is that they are an extremely advanced and exceptionally aggressive species, possessed of focused energy weapons, some manner of nearly impenetrable ship armour and lacking in any compunction about using them both without provocation.

Though the enemy boarded the Reynolds during the Hesperus Incident, the resulting destruction of the vessel eliminated any records of the appearance or personal armour and weaponry of these aliens.

In 2297, a similar species with the very same attributes has been encountered. It cannot be ruled out that the early appearance of UAR-01 may be Progenitors observing the early development of Human spacefaring.
