The Shi'Al'da are going to basically be space dragons, able to both burrow and fly, as well as have high intelligence. They'll be bipeds, but have four, powerful arms, scaly wings, and a face crossing a hawk with a dragon. If I can get it to happen, they will be able to breath fire, and if I'm really lucky, they'll be able to forge metal with their bare claws(body temperature 290 degrees fahrenheit).
Holy crap. You really seem to have thought this over.
Indeed, all year, in fact. I'm hoping you can equip species with the ability to survive in hard vacuum, as well as boarding enemy vessels. Because if I can, my Shi'Al'da can simply fly out, grapple onto a ship, then burn their way in.
Actually, while heat weaponry may seem to be their obvious primary weapon, Cryonics is actually one of their specialties, and they actively use it in combat. The reason for this is that when they were fighting to unite their world, they put a great deal of resources into developing the perfect weapon to use against their own species: Cold. As such, they wear insulation armor whenever they go into battle so they aren't critically injured by their own weapons. Nice, huh?
