Koris are mortal enemies of the Asterians, these extra-dimensional sadists find malicious pleasure in inflicting pain and suffering on other creatures by whatever underhanded methods they can.
About
The Koris come from a nightmare dimension full of all manner of strange and malevolent creatures, which goes some way towards explaining the Koris themselves. Koris society is anarchic, lacking overall leaders, but it seems as though charismatic individuals with advanced mastery of the race’s portal�generating technology tend to gather followers around them.
They are a confusing group to study both because of their wormhole technology and their near-inability to tell the truth. In turn, they find the expectation of other races for facts to be unembellished and straightforward to be odd in the extreme. So ingrained is the Koris cultural tendency to make up stories that almost anything researchers have found out has later been discovered to be a fabrication. At least they think it has.
The Koris’ term for the ability to create these wormholes is “portal spinning”, and it is held in very high regard among them. It is done with a combination of a small machine and possibly some innate ability of the Koris themselves. This is supposition based on the fact that humans have not been able to use the devices, despite having thousands of hours of DreadBall match footage to study them in operation. The Koris are not much help either, probably because they aren’t interested in giving away their signature technology, though it also seems likely that the lack of understanding among the humans amuses them. If this is the case then the utter frustration of the even more able Forge Father technicians would have them in fits of laughter.
The Koris themselves are not actually from the same dimension as the rest of the races in the Warpath Universe. It is clear that they have travelled throughout known space (and presumably beyond) for many centuries. Some scholars have suggested that the ability to port themselves between both places and dimensions, coupled with their love of mischief, may account for some of the many legends of trickster gods and heroes to be found across the inhabited worlds. As with most things about this enigmatic race, nothing is provable, though it would explain quite a lot.
The wormholes can be navigated by anyone brave enough, but the horrors that may lie beyond in the different dimension might be too much for most, while the Koris all are adept at navigating the screaming terrors that lie inside them. Examples for the madness that might follow are Kreed or the Fran-Taar Philosophers' experience on Azure IX. Other known creatures coming from the Koris' dimension seem to be the Krastovor and possibly the Nightstalkers, following some Mazon Labs experimentation on Pluton III.
