more info »These are the most bewildering forms of Beast matter: intelligent, communicative, self-aware. They do not require ships to contain or house their consciousness, and instead form wholly out of autonomous Beast bio-material. Their shapes vary wildly: some take vaguely humanoid form, others resemble floating nodes of flesh and metal, while a few are so abstract in shape that no comparison holds. They are driven by memory, emotion, and thought - sometimes childlike, sometimes ancient. Many are peaceful or even helpful. Most are simply trying to understand what they are.

Created either during the First Beast War or born out of lingering viral code and forgotten wreckage, they are animated by base instinct, corrupted directives, or fragmented memories. Often violent and territorial, they are erratic and extremely dangerous. Some resemble fractured ships. Others crawl like feral animals through derelicts and asteroid hollows. No two are alike - but none speak, and none negotiate.
