Встречайте, Jokaerohe Jokaero are a fascinating race. For one thing, no outsider has ever decided whether they are intelligent. They are certainly capable of tremendous feats of engineering, construction and problem solving, yet they have no language, culture, or motivation higher than survival. Their physical appearance is of a heavy, orange-furred ape, similar to the orang-utang which roamed ancient Earth. This may or may not be coincidence, for it is an established fact that the Slann created and modified many races at the dawn of time, and appear to have visited the Earth on numerous occasions. The most amazing thing about the Jokaero is their technical brilliance - they appear to have an innate, genetically structured understanding of technology. Given sufficient pieces of battered machinery, a group of Jokaero can make almost anything, from a spaceship to a las-cannon. Their comprehension of astro-physics is baffling; they seem able to tap power-currents which flow imperceptibly through the galaxy.
Their understanding of such matters goes far beyond that of even the most advanced of other known races, with the possible exception of the Great Mages of the Slann. Jokaero spacecrafts are a case in point. A Jokaero spacecraft looks like no other form of space transport, consisting entirely of an open framed lattice structure, forming a unique polyhedral shape.
This structure draws energy from galactic power-currents simply by virtue of its shape, in a similar way to which weapons channel psychic energy by virtue of their spiral patterns. Jokaero spacecraft move, manoeuvre, and transcend warp-space by means of making physical changes t the ship's shape, thereby altering the craft's relationship to the universal powers it employs and modifying its place in the natural galactic order.
Jokaero live in large family groups, roaming the galaxy at random, concentrating on survival. They frequently land on inhabited worlds, usually to scavenge for oddments or specific components they require. If necessary they will band together and attack other creatures in order to gain what they need. Because of their extraordinary talents, they use weapons and equipment and tactics in a similar way to intelligent creatures, and are capable of mounting coordinated and complex attacks. Usually they will single out a lone station, a farmstead or a distant mining ship as their target, attacking, looting and making good their escape before they attract retaliatory action. It is impossible to argue or even reason with a Jokaero. Even giving them what they want is difficult, scince they are incapable of communicating.
If the Jokaero could be controlled they would be very useful to other races. However, this has proved largely impossible. They tend to build things which meet their own immediate needs. Attempts at capturing Jokaero and compelling them to work can have disastrous effects - they build things with which to escape
Jokaero may have ANY equipment that they want/need to have: their engineer abilities allow them to build ANYTHING. However, because they have no purposeful "intelligence", their equipment will be completely random.
They may also rebuild/convert equipment on the battlefield (within limits). The RT rules are very vague on the way this works (they mention a d6 roll, but are unclear on what you need to GET on the d6!). As I translated it, roll a d6 at the end of each turn when a jokaero attempts to "rebuild" something, and add +1 to the roll for each jokaero working on the same "project" in contact with the others - on a modified roll of 6, the project succeeds (although a roll of 1 always fails). Any weapon can be converted into any other weapon of comparable size (i.e. you can change a lasgun into a bolter, but you can't change a pistol into a meltagun!). You CAN change bigger items into multiple smaller ones (A Heavy weapon, like a lascannon, can make two basic-sized weapons or four pistols!). Note that Vehicles can also be changed in this way - it is childs play, for instance, for Jokaero to change a Leman Russ into a Chimera! Remember, though, that the changes cannot be predicted, and will always be RANDOM - so that Leman Russ might just be changed into a few hundred laspistols instead of another vehicle!
Note finally that Jokaero have a strong aversion to combat, HtH in particular. They will never willingly engage in battle except for the purposes of survival (i.e. defending territory and their family group, or perhaps raiding a camp for food if they are starving). When they do fight, they prefer to do so from long range, using their technical ability to fashion distance weapons. And since they can build things like Volcano cannons from piles of scrap metal, you'd best hope that you don't provoke them unduly...
Well, that's it for the Jokaero, famed because they could make Digital Weapons - weapons the size of large finger rings that were nonetheless as effective as a full-sized pistol.
Ахренеть... как представлю толпу орангутангов, нападающих на танк, делая из него несколько сотен пистолетов, а затем делая из этих пистолетов КК(очевидно, при помощи скотча и стэплера) и улетающих нафиг, так плушшыть.

Warhammer 40000,если название о чём нить грить.
Была даже миниатюрка с этим шикарным бибизяном.

Тем более что поигрывали во всякое.
А летом на ролёвку по нему поеду)
А на миниатюрку бы взглянула.

Насчёт же миньки
Рецепиента там найти несложно.
