New Race Idea
Gollums
Thousands of years ago, the universe was populated by millions of small folk that resembled hobbits. These creatures primarily dwelled on planets with much water, as they had great skills navigating the rivers and oceans and building habitable floating cities. One day while on a fishing trip, one of their kind discovered a Kalzul ring at the bottom of the river. He soon discovered that the ring made him invisible, but he was killed by his friend, who was jealous of the ring`s power. The new owner was slowly destroyed by the power of the ring, and the ring also drained the power of his whole civilization on every planet. When he was the only one left, he lost the ring in a battle with the Kalzul. Since that time, he has begun replicating and will stop at nothing to destroy the evil Kalzul. The Gollums, as they are known, are small in number but have developed secret technology that cloaks their ships.

Just thought I`d make my contribution to the list of rubbish race ideas. This was as not-smart as I could come up with. Can anyone do better (worse)?
