Starfleet Exo-cultural report
Race: Lokustaar
Home Dimension: 012 / -072 / 021
Home World: Z'ha'dum (Third planet - Class H)
Orbital Star(s):
 Sa'ro'kem or Nebula of Fire
Civilization Classification: 14
Estimated Population: Unknown
Appearance: Almost solid black in colour, this 1.6 to 1.8 meters tall insectoid-like race possesses four highly articulated sharp and pointy legs as well as two similar shaped arms. They 'see' using 2 groupings of 7 red glowing eyes set on two parallel rows located on either side of what would be expected to be their featureless faces. No mouth or nose can be discerned.

Physical characteristics:
Able to move with near perfect silence, the Lokustaar are capable of making themselves invisible, the cellular structure of their body allowing them to refract light. Possessing an exceptional strength, they have been considered by those who know of their existence as the perfect killing machine.
Overview:
The Lokustaar, spoken about by many names throughout the mythologies of other worlds including 'Demons of Night', 'Shadows of Death' and 'Beasts of Pure Darkness' are most often simply referred to as "The Shadows". From what little is known about them, they are a very ancient race who have visited our dimension along with every quadrant of our galaxy on multiple occasions.

Planetary Report:
Z'ha'dum is a barren world deprived long ago of any life with one exception. The average surface temperature hovers around the 50 degrees celsius, reaching near 90s at certain locations at the equator and a sub-arctic minus 45 at the poles. Although these extreme in temperature do not affect the Lokustaar, their civilization has long ago migrated to the deep underground of the planet.  The vestiges of a long vanished surface dwelling civilization can still be found, built directly out of the rock formations present throughout the planet.

Overview of Civilization's History:
Very little is known about the cultural makeup and social setup of the Lokustaar. What is known is that the race sees conflict on a larger scale as a natural and even required aspect of evolution allowing for the culling of weaker elements and races throughout the galaxies to make room for those worthy of survival.  It is theorized that many of the major conflicts and wars opposing different races have been triggered or at least influenced by these beings to help natural selection and the ideas of "survival of the fittest."
Lokustaar Bio-ship:
Appearing very much like a member of the race although much larger measuring almost 100 meters across, these vessels possess the same ability to become invisible. The Lokustaar bio-ships have limited warp speed capabilities and are suspected to having a single armament capable of releasing a highly powerful and concentrated forward-line energy beam able to easily cut through the heaviest armours known to the Federation.
Lokustaar Agents:
Humanoid in appearance, these agents are very swave and knowledgable possessing hundreds of years of accumulated experiences due to what is believed to be a highly slowed down metabolism. Able to both see and hear their parent race the Lokustaar, these agents act and facilitators in making contact and setting up conditions that will create the most damage and chaos. Their goal is not to see one side win over another, but rather to foster conflict to see which side will come up victorious.  These agents are able to gain a great deal of political levarage thanks to providing unseen and untracable aid to those they see as being the best pawns to use.
