Fiction:Scelus Purification

The Scelus Purification was formed from the few remains of the Scelus Horde that were not incorporated into other factions. Gathered by their creator the Persacron Mother Leless they have since been reformed and modified into a better, more "pure" form of Scelus. Like the Scelus Horde before them, their goal is to assimilate all life into a single, complete form. However unlike the Horde before them they seek to assimilate only the lifeforms they deem worthy, those who are pure enough are to be destroyed.

Government
The Scelus Purification is run by a hive mind that is run from the top down by several forms of command. Highest of all is the mother Leless who runs the entire Purification. Below her are the Galactic Nods, massive brain like creatures that act as the central control to the Galactic Hives. The are the Hive Mothers, almost as large centipede like beasts covered in cancer like growths resembling brains that are used to control and direct planetary hives. Below them are the Eyes of Leless, floating creatures used to direct director nods, another form of floating organism that helps micro manage hives.

Unlike the Scelus Horde with was for the most part a free flowing, if rather scrambled, stream of thought. The Purification's hive mond is strictly regimented and free will granted sparingly as necessary. While in the Horde all Scelus had an extremely basic and primitive sense of self, the Scelus of the Purification have no sense of self. Rather they posses as sense of the whole, sensing and acting as one being with multiple bodies.

Astrology
The Scelus Purification despite being newly form already posses a large territory in the Mirus and Milky Way galaxies. When the Purification colonizes a planet they quickly descend and being rapidly assimilating all the life they deem worthy on the planet by injecting it with a mutagen that dissolves it into primordial ooze used to create more Scelus. The end result is a planet covered in a sea of blood red primordial ooze that the Scelus can covert into more Scelus and organic structures.

When assimilating a populated planet the Scelus send in infiltrator worms that latch onto a host a become part of them. This assimilates the host into the Scelus Hive Mind and slowly alters them into a more simple, Scelus-like form with the ability to convert more of their fellows via a stinger tongue that injects another Infiltrator Worm into the unfortunate victim assimilating them. These infested then prefer to weak their own from within making it easier for the Scelus to take over. After the Scelus have taken the world the infested are then converted into primordial ooze to be made into more Scelus.

Culture
The Scelus of the Purification have absolutely no thought for oneself and serve the group and the group alone, possessing no personal wants, desires, and feelings what so ever. They must operate at peak efficiency, any inefficient member must be immediately destroyed. Also all members conform completely to the standards and goals of the Purification, there is no deviation from the norm. All maintain a state of sameness and purity. This is, while seeming similar to the Horde, is not for it is a universal absolute to all Purification Scelus that the Horde never possessed.

The Purification see the universe as filled with inefficacy and imperfection, to them it is quite literally a plague and they see other sapient species as the virii that spread it. It is their desire to end this, driving them to assimilate others, gathering together their thoughts, feelings, memories, strengths, and weaknesses of worthy species into one, while exterminating those they deem unworthy. The Purification wishes to eventually achieve something called Absolution, where all the strengths of those gathered together make up for all the weaknesses. In Absolution there would be no inefficacy, imperfection, and weakness, only a whole with no individuality, existing as one mind with out need or want. If this goal were to be reached the Purification would simply dissolve into a sea of primordial ooze, a state they believe to be the ultimate form of life.

Technology
The Scelus Purification does not have technology in the traditional sense of the word. Rather they assimilate the biological adaptations and mechanical(or biological) technology of others into their own physiology. This leads to a whole mess of biomechanical critters that make up their ranks. When the Scelus assimilate another species for the first time the Scelus initially created from the primordial ooze of said species conquered planet will have many of that species traits mixed in with more Scelus like ones, such as insectoid features and simplified body systems. These traits quickly become combined with the traits of other species causing the Scelus to become more and more like their baseline form with some deviance in adaptation.

Scelus can also assimilate a race's technology. They do this by quite literally eating it and then reassembling it as part of their system. As they cannot replicate such technology on their own, each Scelus ends up absorbing it's own patch work of technology causing a large amount of variation in form. If enough of certain type of technology is absorbed then the Purification may be able to replicated it in a biological way to be included into a adaptation used by all Scelus in one way or another.

Military
The military force of the Scelus Purification is a massive one. Vast numbers of Scelus in swarms numbering in the thousands are launched against enemies soaring through the void to the planet they intend to take before launching wave after wave against their foes until the planet they intend to take is their's. While massive in numbers, individually they are weaker when compared to the troops and vehicles of other factions. However few Scelus are meant to survive past one engagement and are replaced quiet easily. Those who do survive a conquest will either return to the primordial ooze they came from or grow stronger and are sent on another conquest. The seer size of a swarm means that often intense bombardment or dedicated use of super weapons can be the only effective way to end their threat without incredibly heavy casualties.
