The invae are a fearsome race evolved from insectoid life. They have six limbs (two legs and four arms) and a pale yellow exoskeleton. They are nimble, using all four arms with equal capability, and have a cold, ruthless intelligence, but are not particularly strong of body (though their hard exoskeleton offers some protection). Invae typically live for 70 years or so, though there have been members of the species known to live past 300. They are native to desert terrains, and speak the language called Sekkcha, a tongue specialized to the needs of insectoid mouths and thus difficult for others to learn.

The invae exoskeleton is strong and offers excellent protection, but is also somewhat brittle if exposed to a strong enough impact, and suffers in prolonged contact with water and certain corrosive materials.
