Shofixti

The Shofixti are a fictional race of beings featured in the sci-fi Star Control computer game series.

The Shofixti are a marsupial-like species that were uplifted by the Yehat. Their culture has a code of honor similar to Bushido, and their spacecraft are equipped with a powerful self-destruct bomb called a "Glory Device" that makes their otherwise weak Scout a dangerous foe as a kamikaze weapon. At the end of the Ur-Quan Slave War between Star Control I and II, the Shofixti caused their own sun to go nova with a Precursor device to destroy the Ur-Quan invasion fleet. This destroyed their entire species, with the exception of a group of female Shofixti in cryogenic suspension in General ZEX's zoo and the brothers Tanaka and Katana who continued to patrol their sterile home system.
