Now, humans are bent on destroying the aliens before they destroy human-kind, and the Kir struggle to hold onto their ancient home worlds that had stood for nearly 3 millenium, and the colonies that were started hundreds of years before human kind ventured into the quadrant.

They are also very effective Shock Troops, as they have no morale or fear.
