It would be reasonable to assume that the Kristang see their patrons as enemies to defeat later when they're able to, rather than any kind of permanent ally. They have a poor relationship with their patrons resulting in frequent minor skirmishes and sabotage. Their technology level makes them a Tier 3 species, on the same level as the Ruhar. Kristang are currently a client species of the Thuranin, a Tier 2 species that is part of the Maxolhx coalition. The governments that followed were oriented around societal development, with the warrior caste taking a back-seat from then onward, much to their chagrin. In the aftermath, the surviving factions came to an accord and banded together with the endeavor of rebuilding what they had lost. The devastation wrought left all factions worse off by its conclusion. The exact circumstances are unaccounted, but there was at some point in their history a nuclear war. In the now distant past, the Kristang existed upon their homeworld as a group of disparate matriarchal clans. A similar change made through genetic modification has ensured a massive population gender imbalance resulting in roughly one male to every ten females. Kristang are very sexually dimorphic due to extensive genetic alterations introduced by the warrior caste, these modifications improve the physical capabilities of the males making them faster and stronger whilst debilitating the females making them genetically smaller, weaker and less intelligent. Kristang have a similar skeletal structure to humans, though they differ in the number of digits on each of their hands having three fingers and one thumb. It is unclear whether their size is due to the extensive genetic modifications that are commonplace in Kristang society or due to natural circumstances.

We shouldn't even be fighting the Ruhar, they aren't our enemy, our allies are.The Kristang are humanoid with a lizard-like appearance, they are tall with most members of their species not growing under seven feet tall. So, I went from fighting with the US Army in Nigeria, to fighting in space. The UN Expeditionary Force hitched a ride on Kristang ships to fight the Ruhar, wherever our new allies thought we could be useful. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. We were fighting on the wrong side, of a war we couldn't win.
