Kram

An alien race, that five centuries ago arrived to Tyr in order to establish a parasite type of relationship with human species. Kram feeds on human feelings such as longing, greed, envy. Responsible for the collecting this resource are the Trashmen; for the delivery - artificials, that are left on Tyr in order to maintain the control over the harvesting network. They did create some small farming type premises to ease up the gathering of resource, but largely their proved inefficiant due to difficulties of concealing them from general populace, as it required sustaining alive human beings in captivity.

Artificials are two-fold copies. The abilities are ones of their masters [to some degree], but the looks are of beings of Tyr - some copies are human, some other biological entities, for example THREE, which is two pines and a rose bush.

Name Kram is an invention of people, who are informed [to various degree] about the existence of parasites. It is based on a rune, that are sometimes visible on the Outpost buildings - it reminds of letters "KRM". In reality, this runes do not refer to parasite species, but to much older and unknown Elder Species, whose technology is used to travel between parallel worlds and Kram are merely tried to research their tech, as it is far more advanced. They did learn how to operate with it on a very simple basis, but no more than that.
