Enimanga

The Enimanga are a highly mysterious race of, what appear to be, crystalline organisms. Little is known or has been seen of them, and their existence has come to be generally regarded as a rare phenomenon in the universe... though in recent months their numbers have appeared to swell greatly.

They are mostly seen lurking around Anthropite space, going about in pursuit of some covert special agenda. Being highly secretive creatures, they only rarely abandon what they are doing to communicate with members outside of their own species.  Their minds do not seem to function with the typical mechanics of organic life, and one truly understands their cryptic dialect as their rambling words are spoken in mostly unintelligible riddles.

Every one of their "vessels" appears to be an autonomous organism: an entity composed almost entirely of unknown materials that discharges an eclectic spectrum of exotic energy.  Because of this, popular myth has caused many to believe that they are giant space cruisers stock-piled with an assortment of precious cargo. But, though many have tried, very few have ever lived to tell the tale of overcoming even a single Enimanga in combat.

Being of monolithic preportions and bristling with a lethal armada of strangely potent weaponry, they are completely harmless when left alone--but become explosively aggressive when attacked.

Though they keep almost exclusively to themselves, it has been speculated that they would be a great boon to Union. The Union has gone to great lengths on numerous occasions to try and contact the Enimanga, but their embassadors have made astonishingly little progress....
