GFF - Ratmen Clans v2.
50
Intro
Ratmen Clans are humanoid rats, originally created as an
accidental byproduct of advanced genetic science. Lacking the
organization and skill of other factions, Ratmen clans use their
vast numbers and a variety of weapons to defeat their foes.
As Ratmen emerged to their creators as sentient beings, they
were greeted with fear and violence, and they were forced into a
life of hiding and scavenging until they could flee their home
world. Now that they finally found safety on secluded and
abandoned worlds, where their numbers rapidly grew, they seek
to help others even as many in Sirius still view them as vermin.

Background Story
Soon after their arrival in Sirius, the Conduit’s followers turned
to genetic experimentation to adapt to the challenges of their
new reality. Their scientists began testing on the rodents who
had stowed away in their fleet, but they had to make due with
their rather limited number of test subjects, reusing them
multiple times over a number of tests.
These test subjects began to grow, developing increased
reaction time and strength compared to typical rats. Some
scientists began to report signs of collaboration, tool use, and
even communication among the rodents. Rumours began to
spread about subjects escaping the laboratories. These reports
were ignored and dismissed by superiors who were desperate
for further advances to be made to the Battle Brother gene-
mods.
Feral colonies of rats began to form outside of the labs, where
the descendants of the original test subjects continued to grow
in size and intelligence. The resulting species had become fully
sapient and gradually emerged to greet their creators as equals.
The humans who created them, however, viewed them with
horror and revulsion, and the Ratmen were driven into hiding as
Humanity hunted them as vermin and failed test subjects.
The Ratmen soon decided to flee off world rather than risk
destruction if they were discovered. They began to raid less
defended ships and scrap heaps in order to slowly assemble a
fleet. Yet before they left, the Ratmen agreed that they could not
escape and leave the other rats to their fate. Together, the
Ratmen launched a raid on the laboratories where they were
created, and despite heavy casualties, they escaped with the
surviving test subjects.
The fleeing Ratmen fleet found a remote and uninhabited
system, where they could build a new home for themselves.
Some decided to stay there and remain hidden from the Battle
Brothers and those like them. Others decided that they no
longer wished to hide from the galaxy. Instead, these Ratmen
formed into family-run clans on their ships and began to explore
the stars.
As the Ratman clans encountered other factions, they began to
recognize their own former plight in those oppressed or
imprisoned by other factions. The Clans use their skills to help
others escape, or otherwise sabotage those they view as
oppressors, and some factions have come to view them as foes
and vermin, to be actively sought out for destruction.
How will you survive in a sector that views you as vermin?
