THE ROBOTIC IMPERIUM (RACE 9)
	Origin:
		The Robotic Imperium is based on the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica, the Original Series.
	About Race 9:
		The Robots are a machine race that has survived the death of their makers. It is thought that they makers of
			the Robots were a race similar to the Lizards, only smaller and weaker.
		The Robots base most of their Ships around the Basestar design. They, like the Evil Empire, rely heavily on
			individual Fighters and have only one Ship capable of launching Torpedoes.
		However, the Robots have figured out a way to get more Mines from their Torpedoes. Their Torpedoes create
			four times the usual number of Mines.
		Because of their machine Abilities, the Robots can also build Fighters in space, as long as they have the Materials
			to do so.
