Fra'al

The Fra’al are a mysterious, highly psychic and technologically advanced xenos race occasionally sighted in the Gothic Sector, and they are known to rule an interstellar empire within the Segmentum Obscurus. As accurate knowledge of the legendary Fra’al species is strictly prohibited by the Inquisition’s Ordo Xenos, aside from a few scattered stories, Mankind remains blissfully ignorant of this merciless, highly psychic race. The few that know them describe them as “mysterious” and “monstrous.” The Fra’al, in turn, call humans the “Imp’ral,” and enjoy subverting them through the smuggling of what they view as relatively simplistic technology. The Fra’al have engaged at time in trade with the Imperium, usually targeting Rogue Traders who are active in the so-called “Cold Trade” — the illegal sale of xenos artefacts and technology within Imperial space.
