Yeah, they're described as freedom fighters whose people were wiped out by the earth government and they want revenge. They're working for Zorg to purchase weapons. For the most part it's played for laughs and they're used as punching bags without being afforded any dignity.

Which, like, they're pretty cool. Good creature design, they've got personality, their shape shifting ability is neat.

I guess that their backstory is presented so superficially that I was having a hard time even remembering it other than "mercenaries with a sense of honor who function as a foil to Zorg's capitalist nihilism"
