The Dark Ones

"'a plague upon all systems they inhabit'"

The Dark Ones are a strange, otherworldly Hostile force. They tower above the tallest Orevillian, and are strong enough to tear one apart. It is not advised to look directly at them. Their origin is unknown, but are known to swarm star systems, stripping them for resources, and then moving on. It is theorized that they consume these materials.

Known Information
The Dark Ones are incredibly strong, and are incredibly fast. They also have the ability to teleport unknown distances, through a pearl-like gland. They are also not affected by the vacuum of space, and have been seen to be able to breathe in asteroid belts and the various moons they inhabit. Their bodies react negatively to water, as their flesh begins to dissolve. They have keen reflexes and are incredibly agile: they cannot be hit with most projectiles. They also seem capable of the construction of grown cities, as well as spaceworthy vessels.

Hierarchy
Though most of their social structure is unknown, the Dark Ones seem to be ruled by what is known as The Warden: a strange creature reptilian in nature. The Warden is often theorized as responsible in the creation of new Dark Ones, but this information is largely unknown due to there being only two recorded Orevillian encounters. It is also speculated that the Dark Ones and The Warden have a symbiotic relationship, as Dark Ones often make nests for female Wardens to raise their young. Wardens are very rare, and very elusive; killing a Warden is a significant blow to the Dark Ones.
