The 'Horde' Necrohemilliae

Many a species used to live on Luma before the Horde, however all have been wiped out, and some of them have been replaced with respective Horde forms.

The Horde, or Necrohemillia (-illiae for plural) are a species of highly virulent parasitic organisms that reproduce and grow by consuming sentient life forms of sufficient biomass and cognitive capability.
The Necrohemilliae are extremely adaptable, dangerous, and expendable parasitic lifeforms.
They lack the ability to spawn spontaneously and spread by infecting sentient life forms, specifically those that are self-aware and capable of introspection. This stage of a Horde outbreak is known as the Feral stage.
During its Feral Stage, the Horde is only capable of local coordination through use of pheromone-based communication. Research indicates that the content of said messages are of very limited complexity.
The Coordinated Stage begins when a Hemillia-Pelagus (Horde Master-Form) is introduced, and it is at this point the Horde becomes truly dangerous.
With the formation of a Master-Form, the assimilated intelligence and memories of consumed hosts become part of a collective consciousness, which is capable of strategic thinking and commanding individual Horde forms in an organized manner.


It is a type of utopian socialist ideal as there is no wealth, no poverty, no want, no crime, and no disease; every individual works for the advancement of the species as a whole.

It is unfortunate however that their one overriding goal is to butcher and consume every other life form in the galaxy.
