Yautja.
The Yautja are a sentient, humanoid race that breathe an atmosphere similar to that of Holy Terra's past, but possess a level of technological advancement far in excess of anything available to humans. The Yautja stalk and kill their prey using a combination of highly advanced technology, such as active camouflage and energy weapons, combined with traditional ancient weapons, such as blades, spears and nets. The Predators often ritualistically mutilate their victims and usually claim their quarry's skull as a trophy. Capable of interstellar travel in star ships, the Predators have hunted on Earth for centuries and have also had prior contact with the Engineers. They have been known to deliberately breed Xenomorphs in order to hunt them, often as part of initiation rituals for young Predators.
Though these past 10,000 years have been turbulant for them, their homeworld one of many Alien races to be exterminated during the Great Crusade, the early years of migration of their flotilla from their homeworld during Imperial invasion ave them a deep resentment of Mankind, though these past few centuries they have learned Humans are varied and are under an Oppressive government thus resulting in them being less hostile to those not deemed a threat.
According to Imperial Adepts the Yautja race has been classified extinct, though some citizens speak of a race of Ghost Warriors butchering Rogue Trader ships leaving skinned bodies missing their skulls.
