The skarats are a species of rodents who are often seen infesting other ships and alien cities. They are often known to get into all sorts of mischief by messing around with various tools and gadgets out of curiosity, though most of the time it gets them killed. Of course, this does not deter them as they are quick breeders, having up to ten to fifteen litters per mating season. Though some live longer than most, most skarats are often put into target practices and experiments, which again, they do not seem to care about. Though they are not good with much more sophisticated technology, skarats are surprisingly efficient in making bundles of scrap metal into something functional for themselves and are capable of making powerful weapons and vehicles with it to catch up on the other sentient species.
Skarats, though they are individually weak, make up for their weaknesses by having large numbers of them. Having a lot of scrap metal is also greatly beneficial, because it is literally anywhere they go to. Because of their numbers, their only strategy in a fight is 'throw lots of skarats at enemies until they win', though sometimes it doesn't work because their enemies tend to be much stronger than them.
