The Pythons are a huge powerful race of lizards, indigenous to the planets
Pythos and Ashira of the Floridian star system. These great reptiles are the
backbone of amphibious assault units in the Galactic Marines, proud and
defiant warriors whose lifelong ambition is to fight the ultimate battle. The
Python is a veritable fighting machine. Unarmed, it attacks with both claws, a
vicious bite, and its long prehensile tail all in the same hand to hand melee
segment. They have a thick, scaly hide that provides them with a natural
threshold against most attacks. These prehistoric dinosaurs are overtly
aggressive. The vast majority of Pythons follow a strict code of honor and
adamantly adhere to the precepts of law and order. Pythons are aquatic beings,
dwelling in the great swamp-like inland seas that cover much of the surface of
their home planet. They don't hear sounds as humans do, but rather sense
vibrations through their skin. The lizards can dive to depths of 200m and are
capable of holding their breath for up to 10 minutes. The drawback is that
Python Lizards are sensitive to dry environments and susceptible to cold. When
the temperature drops below zero degrees celsius, Pythons usually crawl in
some comfortable place and catch some Zs. Python Lizards can sense heat
sources out to 100m. The lizards are generally less intelligent than their
galactic counterparts. They generally accept their position as the preferred
warrior race of the Gen-Humans. Now don't get me wrong! Python Lizards are
much smarter than Ram Pythons, not that this is saying much. They have
excellent leadership skills.
