Oratan Prospector Thief

The Oratan are believed to be the race warned of in The Signal, intercepted by the Celeste Space Probe. It follows that this species inflicted genocide on the Ancient Arkadian people. Accordingly, the Oratan should not be underestimated. As a species, they revel in battle and killing, specifically targeting human colonists on Arkadia. They have also shown a tendency to loot and steal, and appear in particular to crave technology. Advanced weapons appear to be within their ability to use, but beyond their capability to develop for themselves. In this case, the creature appears to have fashioned a pickaxe in order to search for materials. This may indicate a change in the previously observed behaviour of the Oratan, which will need to be investigated further. The Imperial Federal Navy knows little of the origins of the Oratan. However, the destruction of the Ancient Arkadians at their hands seem certain, and the threat they pose to humanity is very real and immediate.
