Biology/Anatomy:
The Crimson are a race that seems artificiality created by some sort of progenitor empire. While at first glance one would assume they are of mechanical origin, scientific analysis reveals that they are, in fact, a cross between a silicon life-form and a mechanical one, falling in some weird in-between.
Commanders also appear to have a ability to warp space to a weak degree, which they use to pick up objects around their would-be hand area, and create speech by manipulating a medium, such as gas or water. It has been speculating that they feed of space-time itself to gain energy, as it's near infinite and the would cause little to no impact on space-time itself, even when there are large groups.
The floating object that would at first appear to be one's head, is actually a weapon similar to a laser, with the ability to fire continuously, or in short bursts, at varying strengths. The "brain" is actually located in the core of the body, along with a weaker "emergency" laser. Their method of sensing is a form of radar, where every surface of said body acts as a transmitter and receiver, allowing 360 degree sight. This radar can detect this like color, sounds and even a form of touch. However, the cannot smell, and it is possible (albeit hard) to cause interference to their radar. Upon damage to one or more of their body parts, the seek the nearest source of metallic material and repair themselves, they are unable to regenerate of their own accord.
They come in two forms, drone and commander. The drone form seems to have zero free will and solely relies on direct orders from the commander, their size is comparable to a golden retriever. The commander stands in the 6-and-a-half foot range, and is fully sentient. A single commander can control around 3-to-5 Drones, at which point it's mind begins to overload. They are able to do this by a form of telepathic communication, and use this same ability to talk with both other commanders, and other species with telepathic ability.
A particularly strange part of Crimson behavior is that they will always refer to themselves as male. This rule persists even if he has been using female pronouns, oblivious to any other pronouns, for an extended period of time. Upon learning a male pronoun the will immediately change to using it, and will correct anyone who uses a different set of pronouns. This will even apply if the Crimson would have no realistic way to know this was a male pronoun
Natural Abilities:
They require no food, water, or gases to live
Each one has a built-in laser weapon, as well commanders having a power to create minor manipulations in space-time
The ability to instantly read all cybernetic data stored directly onto a machine, although knowledge they deem unimportant is quickly forgotten
360 radar sense.
Telepathy
The ability to use Blood Crystals, or the Obelisk.
Unnatural abilities: Some have managed to retain fragmented pieces of data from before their deactivation, others, such as Bloodred, can use more drones than the maximum limit would normally allow.

Brief Description of Species:
GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: The Heavenly Commonwealth
Nation Name: The Obelisk Ascendancy
Flag:
Location: Inner Sagittarius Arm
Number of Controlled Systems: 35,000
Capital (System, Planet, City): The Obelisk is a large ship in between stars, and is therefore unable to be defined by these definitions.
Government type: Feudal Oligarchy
History:
Population: 1,000,000,000,000 commanders
Species: Only the Crimson are present within the Empire.
ECONOMIC-
Ideology: Isolationist, Supremacist, Materialistic, Scientific.
Economy: Good
Manufacturing: Strong
Agriculture: Horrible
MILITARY-
Population: 50,000,000,000
Branches: Their is only one branch
Standard infantry: They have large numbers of drones.
Standard weapon types: They use the weapons on their own bodies.
Standard ship: A Blood Crystal, which are able to carry around 1,000 entities at a given time. And have a powerful pulse blast.
Weapons:
-DRONE NODE: A large controller with the ability to control many drones at once
-BLOOD CANNON: A re-purposed fragment of a blood crystal, reusing it's ability to shoot pulses of energy. It is used as a mortar-esque weapon
-AMALGAMATE: A monster created from the fused remains of several down combatants, unpredictable and usually reserved for terror missions.
-SALVAGE SHIP: A ship made of various metals found throughout the galaxy, much like a normal spaceship. Dispite differences in composition, they always manage to look the same.
Strengths: A large amount of their weaponry is not understood, and can be hard to counter. It is also very durable and powerful, and the race itself tends to be, made of a very hard carapace.
Weaknesses: They cannot manufacture either this technology, or themselves, resorting to salvage for both.
