Øztazians
Classic "space orcs," (except instead of looking like pigs or apes - why is it always pigs or apes? - they looks like tigers) they have been hounded across the universe from place to place. Now, they live in asteroid fields in hollowed-out asteroids as bases, engaging in mining, mercenary work, and raiding. They are reknown engineers known for their cleverness with weapons, armor, and ships.
