Though individually quite powerful, as a group the beholders are a minor force within the Cluster. Constant in-fighting and their practice of attacking non-beholder races on sight has severely depleted their numbers. Though they have no friends, the beholders are not engaged in any formal wars with other races at this time. Beholders do hold a few small worlds, populated mostly by enslaved humans, but these are of little real value. It is believed that the beholders may be preparing for a war of expansion soon, but their success is highly unlikely. With every race in the Cluster willing to turn against them at the first sign of aggression, the beholders will probably never become much of a power in Clusterspace. ## Individuals They're beholders—what more can be said? **Rank**: 5
