Transyllian

A nomadic, vampiric race of mercenaries, the Transyllians originally came from their homeworld of Transylia before it was ravaged by solar flares. Fitted with a crystalline Heart Stone, the Transyllians are functionally immortal as the Heart Stone once charged with energy, will cause the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems to be brought back online via a powerful electrical shock. This allows Transyllian warriors to continue to fight even after death. However, should the Heart Stone be damaged or destroyed, the Transyllian will remain deceased. Led by Tomb Lords, Transyllians sweep across the galaxy to absorb the life energies of any living beings unfortunate to be within distance of their silent Tomb Fleets.

Society
Transyllians are a nomadic race following the utter devastation of Transylia. They operate from vast tomb fleets which they use to drain other lifeforms of energy. Transyllians operate under a military society headed by the powerful Lich class of warriors.

Biology
Transyllians are humanoid in appearance with a yellowy-white skin colour, knife-like ears and jagged fangs filling their mouths. They have blood-red eyes and bright-blue blood. Surrounding their hearts, Transyllians have a biological crystalline construct known as a Heart Stone. When fully charged with electricity, the Transyllian can revive from fatal damage, provided the stone is not damaged or the Transyllian in question is not damaged beyond repair.

Military
The Transyllian military is based around the species' vast Tomb Fleets. The forces of the Transyllian Tomb Fleets are armed with devastating Siphoner weaponry, which tear the lifeforce of those unlucky enough to be caught in reach of its beam. Notable Tomb Fleets include:
