Chromatic

Chromatics are one of the alien races present in the Trinity Universe. They first contacted humans with an unprovoked attack on Karroo Mining Colony in 2113. They use stolen Earth technology and kidnapped psions to supplement their own capabilities.

The name "Chromatics" refers to their glowing, multicolored skin; it is believed that their language is encoded in the light patterns they display. Consequently, Chromatics do not wear clothing, merely belts to facilitate carrying tools and weapons. They also appear to have natural photokinetic abilities, allowing them to cloak themselves and block or neutralize laser-based weaponry.

After Karroo, the Legions established a specialized force known as Phoenix Squadron to defend Earth from extraterrestrial threats.
