This is a special place filled with Uff'Wuj, we must not allow it to be soiled by outsiders. You must go, now.

Uff'Wuj is all, omni-existent, spreading, and changing the outsiders into Uff'Wuj. You are an outsider, who must become Uff'Wuj or emptiness.

- Typical Crystalline Greeting

The Crystallines are an unusual type of lifeform, their biology being based off of an unusual crystal substance known as Piezonite.

Recent History[]

CrystallinesAttackRandomShip

Crystalline Fighters tearing apart an unnamed empire's ship

To the inhabitants of the First Gigaquadrant, the Crystallines seem to rarely ever tell anything about where they came from, but it is believed that they originated from a galaxy outside of the known space within the Gigaquadrant, whether they were running away from an unknown threat or came to look for new territory to conquer or both is also unknown.

However, what cannot be denied is the fact that the Crystallines have just recently settled in the Andromeda Galaxy, at Segmentum Umbra in the lower right portion of the galaxy. Though they haven't had contacts with races and empires such as the Legion of Badmanz yet, several, lesser and more poorly-known races have recently come under attack from Crystalline forces, and that the Crystallines are expanding their territory and evolving.

There are rumors though that a particular cluster of Crystalline spores were discovered by a mad scientist and worked on to be altered, but they may have escaped and joined the main Crystalline hive.

Characteristics[]

Strains[]

Main article: Strains

The Crystallines often alter members of their species into various "strains" for certain purposes, such as those serving as ground troops or as a form of living ships.

Mentality[]

It has been known that all Crystallines (so far) happen to speak similarly in their erratic manner, often rarely making sense, which is seen by most races as a form of hive mind mentality.

Although it should be noted that individual Crystallines have names, which could contradict this hive mind theory, however, that doesn't seem as likely. Seeing as how occasionally individual Crystallines call themselves by many names, and even more than one Crystallines call themselves with the same name, and then to another one, which is believed to be a form of split-personality disorder, but it can hardly be classified as a "disorder" or a "sickness", seeing as how all Crystallines have been known to possess such a trait as if it was normal.

Uff'Wuj[]

Uff'Wuj is a form of belief used by and known to all Crystallines, due to their erratic behavior other races tend to have great trouble comprehending it, but it seems to be a form of religion. The Crystallines believe themselves to be both Uff'Wuj itself and it's agents, and that other races, the outsiders must be purged and become emptiness or more Uff'Wuj.

Should a race be too strong to be "emptied" or turned into Uff'Wuj, the Crystallines send a message of surrender, and willingness to cooperate and ally with the race, waiting until the right moment to betray them. Sometimes, should an enemy be too unwilling or powerful to do so, the Crystallines retreat and find other races to cooperate with.

Technology[]

Though the Crystallines mainly use their own biotechnology-like form of equipment, occasionally there are the possibilities of scavenging and assimilating technologies from other races, and attaching it to their own. Creating cyborg Crystallines. (More coming soon...)

Piezonite[]

The crystal substance which composes most of the physiology and biology of the Crystallines, it is known to be considered what can be described as "intelligent" and a mutating substance, and known to react aggressively when tampered with by an outside source. Several attempts so far to obtain and study Piezonite have ended in failure, and often the Crystals tend to explode violently.

Piezonite is capable of conducting electricity and producing an electrical charge, being able to hurl and project it towards other objects as a form of attack, the volt discharge can be potentially high, and very deadly. Usually this electricity is piezoelectricity, which gives Piezonite it's name. Electricity tends to have less effect on the Crystallines, and most often they can absorb it and turn it into energy.

A strong Piezonite presence often causes the frequency of thunderstorms and strikes of lightning on a planet to increase. Most often these strike at the crystals themselves, though in the process they absorb the energy, and grow larger and larger. Some Crystalline worlds have been known to include Crystal pieces larger than most mountains, perhaps twice the size.

Uff'Wuj enters my lattices and fills me with turmoil. Violent action ensues.

From others[]

Insert your quotes here.

"This crystalline substance is indeed intreguing, i wonder what applications it could have for shielding or even weaponary within the collective"

- He whom is fifth capable Qirsan

I have heard rumours about that species. I hope they will stay away from us.
