No not bad at all, good thing there aren't too many then...

Along with their large numbers, marines, tough ships and general nasty
attitude.
By the way, in my campaign I had as my PC's base a sphere where Elves were
limited to one tiny island on one planet, and had no contact with space.
During the second unhuman war the Scro arrived at this sphere and missed
the Elves living here all together, instead they made deals with local
human leader for the supply of foodstuffs and other materials and
established a supply base on a large planetoid in the systems asteroid
belt. Relations between the Scro and the Humans in the sphere still remain
good so the EIN has set up a small base nearby to prepare to attack the
heavily fortified Scro base.
