NPC Faction: Arkoids General Information:
Codenamed “Space Bacteria” by the V.R.A, Arkoids are giant single celled space born beings that dwell in areas of space rich in nitrogen deposits. These creatures are mostly found in deep space and away from civilized areas since they are unable to travel very far from their population hubs. Occasionally though a reproductive Arkoid may tag along with a ship during a folded space jump and multiply like wildfire right in the heart of an empire’s territory.
Arkoids are non-sentient and highly animalistic in behavior. There does not seem to be any form of society among their species. Most Arkoids live in families of several hundred and attack any other of their own species that is not part of their particular group. Arkoid hostility is well known, they will also attack any starship that enters their domain and rip them apart.
Arkoids technically do not have a military, however they do display primitive knowledge of warfare despite their limited intelligence. Often if a colony of Arkoids springs up in a civilized area, they will organize themselves into waves of sixteen members and continually assault their current target until it is destroyed. It is for this reason that Arkoids are rigorously hunted down if spotted in civilized areas.
