Magruscan-Arquian Fringe Coalition

Imagine if you will, a species of T-rexes scaled down to about nine feet in height and a slightly more humanoid build with the same ravenous appetite. Then imagine a species of deep-water humanoid-salamanders with the strength to strangle a bull-shark. Now imagine finally, that they have to live with each other.

The Magruscan-Arquian Fringe Coalition is an alliance born out of necessity, not desire. For centuries, Arquian space patrols have always fought Magruscan space-pirates and planetary raiders; now, with the rapid expansion of the pro-human UNCS, the two nations are forced to ally with each other to halt their progress.

Even with the threat of human imperialism and enslavement on the horizon, the Coalition still suffers from trust problems. Magruscan pirates still harass Arquian shipping for essential supplies and equipment, and Arquians of course feel obliged to retaliate. It is fortunate for them then that the UNCS had turned their eye away from the squabbling salamanders and reptiles, and towards the galactic northwest; the grand prize of the galaxy formerly known as the Sinterian Empire.
