Name: The Infestation ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nation type: Minor Belligerent ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Overview: Once a small virus trapped in an air pocket of the undergrowth of Acanta IV. Now, a flourishing plague seeking to infest all. The Infestation hates all that is not blighted by their plague. They see themselves as guardians of peace and unison with the power of a hive mind. Now, it is slightly participating in the war, but is too small to be noticed by the larger factions. Most governments think of it as a type of flu right now and believe the Infestation is just a tall tale. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ History The Infestation was an airborne virus, trapped deep beneath the surface of a cave world known as Acanta IV. When a mining colony dug into the pocket, the virus infested them and took over their home world in a few weeks due to no military response and small resistance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Major Holdings: Central Hive (located inside Acanta IV) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Demographics: Infested: 80%, other races (prisoners/slaves): 20% ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Population: The Infested is a vast set of different races, factions and creatures, smashed together to create a hive mind. The Infestation uses Infested for any kind of job, like military or tending to the hive. Slaves: Slaves are, again, a vast set of different races. They are normally forced to work and become infested later on. Slaves are broken down. Mentally and physically until they cant fight back and feel like they should just submit to the hive as they work in harsh and horrible conditions. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Society: The Infestations Society revolves around the Hive Mind. The Infestation seeks to Infest everything and seek out the best way to benefit the hive mind. The infestation has no will on their own and cannot control themselves. They cannot do anything. Their soul is trapped inside their skin, and cant do anything as they watch themselves kill their friends and family and feel the pain of the injuries they endure. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Economy: The Infestation does not need many resources besides food. They eat, kill and infest any living creature. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Government: The Infestation has a rule system. A dictatorship. The Hive Mind is never replaced and is the main leader. The Hive Mind has created a pyramid of power and put itself on top. The Hive Queens are second most powerful and the Swarm Leaders are third. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Technological Information: The Infestation does not create tech on their own. Instead, they steal it from other races by infesting their tech. The infestation has no tanks for instance. Instead, they infest others tanks. then Infestation now has tanks. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Major Techs: The Infestation has no techs and cannot create them on their own. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Military Information: The entire populace of the Infestation is military. Solders, Civilians and animals alike evolve and adapt new biological weapons to use in combat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Military Overview: All of The Infested is military. The Slaves are used as cannon-fodder, to weaken the front line and the Infested are used as the troops. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fleet/Navy: Dreadnoughts: Infested Dreadnought: Basically like a dreadnought of another race, but infested. It takes a spore implant to infest one and has less hull integrity and less shield. Battleships: Infested Battleship: Basically like a Battleship of another race, but infested.

They have no fear of death and need no water or oxygen and have no moral. They look like their original race that they were before they became infested, just with tentacles and extra flesh. Infested Vehicle: It is a vehicle made by another race, that has been infested. Now controlled by the Infestation. Swarm Leader: Swarm Leaders command swarms. There is only one in each swarm. It is like a super-soldier version of an infested that is larger and stronger than the others. If it is killed, the entire swarm retreats. Swarm leaders have small amounts of moral and have little will of their own. Queen: A Queen is the leader of an entire hive. She commands the swarm commanders and produces spores that, if planted by an infested, slowly creates a new hive. Queens have large amounts of will, but have moral. Hive-Mind: The center of everything. The Hive-Mind is a massive mass of Infested flesh and tentacles. It is the master of all masters. It has no gender, needs no food and has all the will of the swarm. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hyperdread Infested Hyperdread: Again, like a Hyperdread made by another race, but infested. However, it takes 20 spores to infest one and takes several months. Removing these spores will stop the infestation. If it is already infested, you cant save it. (Unless you have the cure for the infestation.) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
