Skorl
The Skorl are a sentient Xenos species that resemble invertebrates and they first came to the Imperium's attention when they attacked G-X-17.[1]
The Xenos then began feasting upon the Agri World's farmers and their Priest sent out a plea for aid. Unfortunately for the farmers, the message was received by the Radical Inquisitor Bors Callimue, who began studying the Skorl, instead of sending help. The Inquisitor soon found them to be a remarkable species, which did not merit being destroyed by the Imperium over the loss of a few hundred fungus farmers. Bors determined that the Skorl's weapon technology alone, such as the phase-inverter cannon, demanded that the Imperium make peaceful contact with the Skorl in order to initiate trade between them. In order for that to happen, Bors decided to offer the Skorl the right to prey upon G-X-17's population without worry of Imperial retribution, at least until the Imperium could reverse-engineer the Xenos' technology. Once that happened, Bors would make sure the Skorl were destroyed.[1]
