Virai – The Dronescourge
The Dronescourge are an ancient threat only recently resurfacing due to the Xilos catastrophe. An all-drone ‘race’, they have a tightly hierarchical society governed by a ‘First Instance’ architector drone who delegates areas of responsibility to ‘Second Instances’ it constructs. In turn, Seconds build Tertiary Supervisor architectors and numerous, specialised constructor, warrior and weapon drones to assist them in their task. They distrust biologics, the distrust tending towards paranoia and a view that regards infestations by biological life on their salvaged ship/occupied world/asteroid/stolen orbital as a disease.
