The Scourge

'The Scourge' is the name given the conglomerate of species that have been forcibly integrated into the Hive Mind.

A colossal, sprawling faction whose territory spans the entire galaxy, it is unclear where the Scourge came from, who created them, or what (if any) plans they have for the galaxy at large.

The Scourge have no name, and it is unclear if the "Hive Mind" - the unofficial title for the Scourge's collective consciousness - refers to itself as anything at all. Rather, "The Scourge" is simply the most accurate title anyone could think of to describe the eternally hostile, omnipresent and viciously efficient army of monsters that sweeps across the galaxy, consuming whole worlds and leaving nothing in its wake, subjecting entire species to the nightmare combination of lobotomy, lethal modification and re-animation known as "Integration".
