Burvixese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Burvixese were a fictional race of sentient, turtle-like aliens native to Arcturus I that are mentioned in the PC game Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters. The Burvixese had relations with several other races, namely the Gg, the Utwig and the Druuge. When the Gg had come under attack by the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah, who learned of the Gg's existence through their hyperwave broadcasts, the Gg shared this information with its neighbors before they were annihilated by the Kohr-Ah.

The Burvixese then warned the neighboring Druuge that a Kohr-Ah fleet was heading toward Druuge space following Druuge hyperwave transmissions. Not wishing to share the fate of the Gg, the Druuge secretly installed a powerful hyperwave 'caster on the Burvixese moon and activated it while shutting down their own in hopes of tricking the Kohr-Ah fleet into thinking the Burvixese were the source of the Druuge hypercasts. Unfortuately for the Burvixese, the Kohr-Ah fell for the Druuge ruse and the Burvixese were destroyed in a genocidal orbital bombardment.
