While I was running around B'Tran, ran across a planet that had a hidden base. So, I beam down with my away team, and find out that it belonged to a race called the "Scoodian". WTF is a Scoodian? Frans and I deduced that it was a race of aliens that scoot around carpets like dogs rubbing their butts. But after we checked out the last computer, it becomes even more odd when my Reman science officer mentions something about a
horse race as well. Whatever, by that point I had a headache and beamed back to the ship, and we warped out of there.

And why wouldnt they be? They're aliens
Embrace the strange
I dunno, I prefer the Kirk "Shoot first, ask later" style of diplomatics.
When I first heard the name Scoodian, I was like "Scoody-doody-doooooo!" Lol!
I imagine that after awhile the Devs got a little punch-drunk trying to come up with new alien names or who knows? At 3am with a 2-liter of Mt. Dew and some Kung-Pao chicken under your belt, all kinds of things sound pretty cool.
Meh, maybe that's what the Universal Translator managed to spit out. For all we know, their true name is thousands of characters long and unpronouncable.
Welsh????????
....that's "slow" in Welsh.
Then there are the Baktians... fought them on Elite with two of my buddies and it was like beaming into Oakland after the Raiders lost a Superbowl because of a bad Ref. call. Yeah, that bad.
Yes, it was inspired when Vrano created the 80's thread.
Next up The Supercallifregilans of the Expealidotia System
Sounds like a First Contact Mission.
LOL, you just probably gave a dev something to do for the day.
Wait...how could they take over a planet by fixing horse races?
1. Fix horse races
2. ?
3. Take over planet
Fixed that for you
