Somaphage Crises

The Somaphage is one of the greatest known threats in the universe. Up until very recently, Little was known about this species beyond hearsay and ghost stories shared between the crewmates of passing freighters.

The vaeu stumbled upon ancient documentation of them, that would shed a light on this insidious threat, lurking in the dark In the ruins of the precursors largest city, the vaeu discovered a massive computer system left behind by the precursors. Still online and cycling cleanly, hundreds of years after the collapse, the computer housed much of the information needed to understand the technology that had been left behind when the Precursors faded to dust.

Among this mass of data, was a small entry about a dangerous alien species that had a habit of colonizing and completely consuming all life on the worlds it came across. These creatures were well documented in the computers servers, with still images and video footage still intact from deep space drone reconnaissance. Maps of the galaxy implied that these creatures existed in a portion of space that was incredibly far away, and the data logs about them were dismissed as unimportant. Much to the researchers dismay, these very same creatures, drones from the species known as the somaphage landed on the homeworld, and began to explore. The data logs made it clear. Once the early surveillance drones appeared on a habitable world, the population of that world did not have long to live, before the primary force of the somaphage touched down. Once that happened, there would be no force in the galaxy that could oppose them.

With this horrific discovery, and a newfound desperation, the vaeu, along with the 19 other species of the world, entered a space race. Pronova was the closest inhabited world. Perhaps its people, all too similar to the precursors, might offer aid in this time of crisis
