Viral 106
The Viral 106 species, as its name implies is a virus-like species, which survive solely on new hosts or victims, namely other races. Caused by the outbreak of a mysterious virus that erupted on the outer territories of the Terrans, it quickly assimilated technology into itself through a mysterious process still debated by various scientists all over the galaxy. Furthermore, the species can only multiply when there is a sufficient and steady income of hosts.
