Creature:The Infection

the infection is a vius, used by the acell empire in wars. the virus was originally inspired by the beast, a similar virus to the infection. the virus had infection beams on larger vessels, and missiles could also be used. the infection could bounce between ships, infecting squadrons of fighters or several frigates. the beast turned the crews into biocomputers, connecting with the ship and using it for its own purposes. it decimated surrounding empires, turning fleets on each other, but the acells natural immunity ultimately granted victory. the acell empire, interested in the virus, took a sample. The acells created an improved version, with more efficient beams mountable on fighters that can bounce between even more ships, missiles that can be spammed like crazy, and a new survival system, that can take extremes of environments (the beast could be defeated with extreme heat). the result is a powerful weapon, controlled by the infection commander of a fleet. the fleet is then sent against the enemy as cannon fodder.
