The Conqrix Empire
The Conqrix Empire is a large empire composed of various species, though the best known is the Grox. It is the result of centuries of the conquests of them. Calling themselves, and all who were conquered, the Conqrix, they now focus their energies on creating better technology and weapons as well as aiding other empires in growth. In spite of this seemingly gracious behavior, they are a cruel nation. They only grow and raise up empires to eventually invade their planet and destroy them for sport. In spite of having a wide variety of races in their empire, the only true members are the Grox, the founders. The other races are actually victims of the Conqrix: empires that have fallen to their power. Besides agreeing not to attack the Grox as well as being forced to offer civilians to them, these crushed empires are in no way related to the Grox.

Overview
Non-Cybernetic Bodies
__________
The Grox bear a surprisingly impish and weak appearance. With their short stature, reflective black eyes, they almost look cute! However, what they lack in biological hierarchy they more than make up for in brains. How this intelligence was achieved is still a mystery to be solved. One theory is that at the time when most creatures advance from the Aquatic Age to the Land Age, a large group of what would later become the Grox stayed behind, developing their brains more and more until their brains grew to be about as big as the average Tribal Age organism. They then moved on to land, where the rest of the creatures were still midway to the Tribal Age. However, the Grox evolved little, only from fish to reptile. With the minds of Tribal creatures the advanced Groxes formed tribes to fend off the wild animals including a more developed Grox that had evolved at the same pace as the other creatures. These creatures effectively skipped from the Aquatic Age straight to the Tribal Age.
Beliefs
____________
In the early times of their evolution, the Grox were among the weakest in physicality, but the mightiest in mind. Their lives as creatures were brutal, due to much of the more physically developed species. The psychological effect on the Grox would lead to the Conqrix Empire's wrath and the death of millions of innocent empires. The Grox believe that the only way to survive was to eliminate competition before they can do anything.
Aggression
___________
The Conqrix Empire rarely engages a single nation in battle. They believe themselves to be the "Gods" of the galaxies. Most of the time, the only Grox Conflicts are when they decide the nations are getting to prideful and need to be reminded of who is "up-top". They go down to every single planet, wipe the empire out, then "plant the Seeds for the next generation." They put down Monoliths, then wait for the nations to grow, helping them, nurturing them, and eventually wiping them out again. During these sort of invasions, the Conqrix Infection Pod isn't used unless the Conqrix are particularly annoyed by a planet's empire. The only time they engage a nation in battle is when that nation, and that nation alone poses a threat. Meaning, that one nation gets ahead of everyone else in technology. Either that, or else the nation challenges the Conqrix.

_________________
The Conqrix are feared and hated. Their gross disregard for life is so infamous in the galaxy that one of the galaxy's biggest insults is "Grox". It is normally used on those who mistreat any form of life. The Conqrix are also a constant problem for diplomats. They like toying with the galaxy's inhabitants, and so enjoy framing other species and sabotaging many delicately laid plans. The most famous evildoer of this sort was one "Xyrith", who was responsible for driving the Humans on Earth into World War III. Scientists rather admire the Conqrix, but think they are abusing their powers. The Zealots loathe the Conqrix completely since they do not follow the philosophy of Spode, and instead believe in "Survival of the Fittest". The Bards, like the scientists, rather admire the Conqrix since they have found a way to sit back and simply enjoy life. However, they are also, like everyone else, disgusted by how the Conqrix view wars as fun. Warriors view them as worthy opponents, and so view them with respect but also fear. All in all, they are hated by every single archetype except for the Archetype, Dark Zealot, though it is unknown as to why. Another reason to fear them is how they demand live civilians as offerings from fallen empires. They then proceed to kill them, then graft their skin onto robotic skeletons to join the Conqrix Manipulators mentioned earlier since they can blend in with other races.
Technology
Weapons
____________
Each type of Conqrix ground trooper has a different weapon, though they all share the miniature laser blasters concealed in their cybernetic arms.
The Conqrix Commanders use Plasma Rifles. However, unlike usual plasma weapons, the blasts of plasma are composed of millions of smaller plasma orbs that scatter on impact. The result is mildly explosive ammunition. These Rifles are also Energy Blades. The Barrel of the gun slides open to reveal an oriented, glowing blade.
The Conqrix Troopers use a different types of pulse blasters, which are blasters that fires a narrower plasma orb, thus enabling it to pick up more momentum as it flies through the air, eventually gaining enough energy to knock targets off their feet. It is not the plasma that deals the most damage, but the brute force it slams itself into victims with. There are "shotgun" varieties, "SMG" varieties, and standard blasters. The Trooper melee weapon is simply an electric-charged Arm-blade.
The Mites' primary weapons are explosives they carry in their claws. They are suicide bombers. They do have a secondary weapon if they lose contact with the explosive: a weak beam from the claws. They also have electric blasters on their sides. Their jaws also pack a punch.
The Insectrox use their toxic spines as their primary weapons. However, the toxicity of the spines in question is not high, and can be terminated from a potential victim's system if not administered in large enough amounts. Their secondary weapons are their claws. Nothing particularly special about them. They're just claws. Naturally, their jaws, just like the Mites, are quite strong.
The Grox Warriors use plasma Riot Shields and Automatic Pulse Rifles.

Space Ships
______________
The Conqrix have a large variety of space ships.
The most important is undoubtedly the commanding ship of each fleet: The Harbingers. They aren't technically ships, actually a trusted Grox General. This Grox General has upgraded himself so much that nothing organic remains of him but his brain. The rest of his body is a strange space ship! They are the commanders of the Conqrix Fleets. But what do they bring? They are called the Harbingers, so what do they bring? In each Harbinger is a huge cloning platform that, when activated, produces an Infection Pod. Which the Harbinger then releases onto a planet. The Harbingers are the biggest space ships in the Galaxy.
There is also a wide variety of Battleships. They usually fly about, launching Drones, shooting laser beams, and Harbor huge fleets of small fighter jets.
The Fighter jets in question are used to eliminate any enemy planes or jets in the vicinity.
Every single one of them, however, has the capability of intergalactic travel!

War Tactics
________________
The War Tactics of the Conqrix are truly formidable. Since they have make galactic visits only once every Eon, they plant whatever Modern Conqrix Drones they have deep within planet crusts as well as into the Deep Oceans. Either when the empires of that planet begin acting up or when the only visits roll around again, that is when these drones come into use, even if they are a bit behind the times. They also strike with whatever Modern forces they have, such as the Harbingers, Battle ships, and Fighter jets, all the while deploying Ground Troopers. They also, this is their Trump Card, launch an Infection Pod from the Harbinger. Once placed, it begins corrupting and destroying the terrescore of the unlucky planet. It has always succeeded, except for in one time. But never mention it to the Conqrix, they're highly... sensitive about that subject. Anyways, before attacking a planet, they first warn all surrounding empires of their presence, so as to ensure that they stay out of the conflict. during invasions on a city, when they finish, they send in the Scavenger Teams that go in and "sweep up the survivors".
The Conqrix Army
The Conqrix Army is the Army used by the Conqrix (interrupted by You Don't Say face). They are mostly composed of a hive-mind of robot fighters with the minds of Grox clones encoded into them, and assimilated cyborgs of, in fact, some of the same creatures that used to terrorize the populace of the Grox while they were in the Tribal age. They almost never use actual Grox to fight except for some cases in which courageous Grox sign up to be upgraded for Warrior-hood. They are commonly viewed by the rest of the Grox with awe and respect. These Grox will be expanded on more later.
The Drone Commander
From:
http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Dronox
The most important Conqrix Ground force is the Commander.
Their job is to command the legions of Conqrix troopers in Invasions as
well as destroy the enemy just like any other Conqrix Ground Force.
This one is duel wielding Energy swords.

The Conqrix Trooper
From:
http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Dronox
The Conqrix Troop is a standard Ground Force and the
backbone of the Conqrix army.
They travel in large legions, swarming over everything and
making up the backbone of the Conqrix army. They also
make up the backbone of the Scavenger teams due to their
stunning speed during their stampedes as well as their
stealthier stature. Shown in the image is an earlier generation
of the Trooper. Recently, they've been built to about the
height of an average human.

The Mite
From: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/DynaMite
The Insectrox Mite is not usually much on fighting, it's a suicide bomber.
In battle, they are the first to enter the battle field, looking scary, launching shock
blasts, and ultimately exploding.

The Insectrox
From:
http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Insectrox
Believed to be a stronger, fiercer cousin of the Mite,
the Insectrox are indeed far more advanced than the Mite,
equipped with toxic spines, sharp claws, and a rather weak laser
concealed on the head. It has a powerful sense of....well...
sensing. They are commonly used by the Conqrix after an
invasion in Scavenger teams to track down and kill survivors.

The Conqrix Walker
From: http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/76912.page
Despite it's vehicle stature, the Conqrix Walker is in fact an organism.
Simply heavily upgraded.
Their job is to invade in the main force of the Conqrix Army. Armed with powerful
rocket launchers, they're also
the commanding force of the Scavengers.

The Conqrix Air Walker
From: http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/76912.page
Despite it's vehicle stature, the Conqrix Air Walker is in fact an organism.
Simply heavily upgraded.
Their job is to be the "eye in the sky" and shoot anything vaguely threatening. They are valuable assets in Scavenger Teams, sporting pulse cannons on some of it's eyes.
One form of the Air walker, called the Royal Guard, defend the Infection Pods from attack, and so use beams and rapid fire Plasma blasts as opposed to the usual Pulse blast.

The Conqrix Mutant
An experimental trooper first created on the lava planet Nagrind. It was originally an ordinary
Conqrix Commander that had retired and volunteered to participate in the Conqrix Super-soldier projects.
It was heavily upgraded and equipped with the latest of Conqrix technology.
It's weapons include the "Swarm" which is in fact a swarm of laser-coated shards.
It also has a toxic dagger grafted into its arms. It's armored head to toe, with shoulder-mounted cannons
and rocket launchers.

The Conqrix Warrior
The Conqrix Warrior is actually a Grox warrior. It is armed with an Automatic Pulse Rifle similar to a Trooper's weapon,
but rapid-fire. For defense, it has a large Plasma Riot Shield.It is a Grox, but upgraded so much that the only biological
part of it is anything above the upper jawbone, it's weakness. These are the courageous Grox mentioned earlier that
signed up for Warrior-hood.

Ancients
The Ancients are the Conqrix forces that were planted into the planets when their empires were destroyed. They would one day be awoken when the Conqrix return to battle. In fact, these Ancients were the last Cycle's (the last time the Conqrix invaded) equivalent of Conqrix Walkers and now virtually unused Conqrix Aqua Walkers. They are significantly weaker than the current Cycle's Walkers, but are still
a deadly force as they literally erupt from the ground and deep sea. Their Armor is still just as durable, though it shows evidence of losing
it's paint. Weapons the Ancients use are whatever happens to be the Conqrix staple. On the Conqris-UNE war, they used relatively weak
lasers.
Ancients are essentially recycled Walkers, meaning that one day, the current Conqrix Walkers will one day become Ancients.

The Conqrix Infection Pod
From: http.spore.wikia.com/wiki/Infestation
The Infection Pods are the superweapons of the Conqrix. They are what the Harbinger ships bring. They, like the Walkers, are actually highly upgraded aliens. When placed on a planet, the Infection Pod immediately begins exuding toxic gases that steadily lower the terrescore of the planet. It also generates portals directly over it. From these portals come the "Royal Guard" of the Pod. They are a legion of extremely powerful Conqrix Air Walkers that defend the Pod long enough for it to do it's job. Usually, the infection takes about two days to fully do it's work, which it has done faultlessly time and time again. The only exception was when they invaded the UNE... but that's a different story.
