Anu'bai

The Anu'bai are a vicious, sentient plague accidentally created by Nubason during his quest to restore his loved one. He released them on the Senate Ring in order to cover his escape, and from there the Anu'bai escaped into space. They are extremely versatile, capable of taking many forms to facilitate various needs, and should never be underestimated regardless of scenario.

Physical Description
All Anu'bai share similar physical characteristics, but due to their ability to shift between forms, it is difficult to nail down a specific physical description. All Anu'bai are formed from repurposed organic matter, regardless of origin, giving them a mottled greenish-brown appearance. The Anu'bai favor function over form, which often lends to them being ugly or malformed, with only key identifying features in place. Often times, bits and pieces of the original hosts remain visible.

Weaponry and Technology
Anu'bai can generate weapons from their own biomass, and are also capable of creating ranged weapons as well, although this costs them biomass each time. Not all variants are capable of firearms, however, and most favor close-quarters offensive tactics.

Culture and Beliefs
The Anu'bai do have a central consciousness - the Core - and defend it zealously. Once an Anu'bai Core forms, it acts as a centralized intellect, capable of taking in and dispersing knowledge from any troops within range. As Cores are one of three forms capable of speech, a small amount of insight has been gleaned from them. The Anu'bai Core on the Fausingaust stated to Commander Dartimien that it bears no grudge against organic life as a whole. Instead, it sees us as a means to an end - a conduit to reproduction and sustenance. In this way, it fulfills its role - nothing more. This implies that the Anu'bai are simply reactive and instinctual instead of openly aggressive, and therefore could be reasoned with, provided the right circumstances exist.

Military
The Anu'bai utilize seventeen different forms to fulfill different combat roles (eighteen if one counts the Core). Depending on what terrain or environment is present, different forms can be created from existing biomass. This versatility is what makes the Anu'bai such a threat in all theaters of war.

Personality
The Anu'bai Core on the Fausingaust is the only Core to have openly communicated with any sentient being, and only because it knew that it was in danger if it continued to oppose Dartimien. This Core seemed to display an immense sadness due to the fact that its race was viewed as a plague and treated accordingly, especially when it saw itself as a conduit to completion and natural harmony. It mentioned that Nubason created them, and as such the Anu'bai would never attack Nubason because they saw him as their creator. However, this does not mean that the Anu'bai will follow Nubason's orders.
