The K'nnn and the T'ca I believe or something like that. Yes, they 
were very powerful, had physics knowledge that the humans couldn't 
match (nor could the other races like the Mahendosat or the Kif). But 
they did things for almost unfathomable reasons (and of course the 
humans did the very human things and attacked them because I guess 
they didn't know enough to give them a wide berth).  

A good model - incomprehensible, bizarre technology, and entertaining 
as all heck to encounter since you would never know what they were 
going to do (or why). Not like a human opponent at all. 

Good luck!
