Notes/History
According to Reuvant the Roachann are a curious race. Both predatory and intelligent, they move from world to world establishing colonies. However they are not so driven by the need to hunt that they will eradicate the competition on a world unlike other alien species. Instead they will actually try to avoid conflict unless challenged.
However in creating a colony and the following expansion the Roachann will eradicate many local species for food and this can lead to ecological disasters. This has led to other races considering the Roachann to be little more than pests that need eradicating.
Earth has bore witness to several attempts by Roachann to form a colony and has seen first hand the result. The most famous of these was believed to have come from a female that escaped a Citadel lab in South America. Within a year she had established a colony of over one hundred and thirty individuals and between them they managed to destroy half a rain forest by killing off all the prey species.
