The Farback are unlikely (and unwilling) allies of humankind.  They attempted an invasion shortly after humans appeared on the Galactic scene, but were thwarted (see The Farback Incident).  They are now the only true military allies of humanity, and have honorably helped defend Earth from invaders.  Since the Farback are the most ruthless, most powerful and most dangerous enemies to have, earth is in a unique position.

They are modeled after the Lizards of Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series of books.  They about the size of a 10 year-old child, and superficially resemble upright Komodo dragons.  One major distinguising feature is the pair of "chameleon eyes" that can independantly swivel in any direction.  They walk with a humorous "skittering" motion, usually accompanied by the clatter of their foot claws.  They wear no clothing, and distinguish themselves through various schemes of body paint.
