so I shall create one for him.
------
Name: Northro'dir (North*throw*deer)
Home Planet: Valhalla
Controlled: Neighboring systems between the Black Sun controlled systems, and Earth. Slowly being forced towards Black Sun.
Life Span: 170 yrs (earth years)
Government: Emperial. Composed of various leaders from different tribes. Each cheiftain of a tribe remains in control until someone of the same blood takes the throne, or the family os forced out.
Leaders: Odin (ruling family of them all), Thor, and various others stated in the Norse Pantheon
Description: Strong, tall warrior-like people, similar to their Norse followers during their time on Earth. A slight bronzish tint to their skin gives them the appearance to be as hard as a mountain. Daring eyes gaze at foes, constantly looking for a fight, as their hands grip their weapons.
Other/History: A warrior-like people, the North'throdir had a period of control in the Sol system, where they worked to bend the people to their will, their way of life. The Norse were the most successful, while the Greek and Roman people branched off to completly different beliefs. ANother race, believing in keeping undeveloped races untainted, forced the North'throdir out of Sol and neighboring systems during a long and bloody war. Finally forced to retreat, the North'throdir withdrew further and further from Sol until finally the attacks ceased. Any attempts they made to return to their lost systems resulted in resistance from the race that pushed them back. With their presence missing on Earth, the religion died out, their followers ceased. They find they must discover new worlds for their armies to conquer, to develope into followers. And their gaze turns to another section of the galaxy, one unexplored, one where their influence might have better efects, where their firewall against Sol would be unable to protect in time. Their mighty race has a chance to redeem their warrior title in new space, with new possibilities.
Weapons: Typically, their weapons are ranged, whereas the Generals and royal families have custom mellee weapons at their sides, though a ranged weapon is not uncommon. The royal families of different nations/tribes lead their people under the banner of Odin, the most powerful family of them all. Throughout history, the leaders of the families have kept their name, with little change in power. Thor, Odin, and several other family names have become common in Norse mythology as gods, while others has been warped into the image of monsters (because of their ruthless personality to their own kind. Not physically changed) by Norse followers. The North'throdir always look for a challenge, a good fight, to prove their valor and warrior heart in combat.
Technology is simple. Their weapons have power supplies. Their hammers (like Thor's for example) can be specified to have certain capabilities. Thor's Hammer, long in the Thor family, was known as the hammer of lightning, as it sent massive amounts of energy into the target, overloading systems nearby on ships, or burning someone in their armour. The amount of power depends on the force of the impact. if the hammer pokes someone, it's static. If they ram it as ahrd as possible, the effect can be so deadly, as to blow away the target. Thus was the legend of the 'Norse Gods', as different weapons had different effects, depending on the customization of the forger, at the family's request. A proud, noble people, the North'throdir are a battlehardened people, and have few few friends capable of surpassing them in physical combat.

Hows that? It's simple, flexible, and does not limit you to mellee. I might add, you don't want to have weapons that can destroy a planet in one shot. Unless their is a long process of drilling to the core or making craters all the way in. But no 1 shotting anything larger than a fighter. ok?
