Your Empire is Dying, Your World is Dying, Your People are Dying. You are #0001, the most desperate and insane weapon of a species. They are being pushed to the edge by an enemy that is not negotiable, seemingly endless, and with cruelty the likes of which your species has experienced a renaissance of knowledge on new forms of evil. This is what you were made for a project to engineer progressively more dangerous organisms from a hybrid base form originating from your creator species, the invaders, and an unknown and completely top-secret material from the depths of the homeworld. Iterative alterations will be made to consecutive batches depending on how effective enhancements are. This is incredibly desperate, and all the top government officials support it. Time to begin with the creation of the first batch. May the old gods forgive our transgressions, and may your flesh be blessed with divine and righteous fury.
Choose Primogenitor Species
[]- The Alden- Crustacean Arthropods with a centaur-like body layout. They are incredibly resilient to thermal energy due to a weak stratosphere. Bleeding off excess heat by "opening" their shell and loosening their plates to rapidly let out waste heat. They have numerous eyes that are ideal for ranges under slightly under a half mile. They use manipulator tendrils that can leave the interior of the claws.
In space for 234 Years, Owning 12 Solar Systems, Border Conflict, Imperialistic Confederation.
[]- Velim Empath- Cephalopod's who have grown to a larger stature, with a more potent brain. They are imbued with a natural ability to on skin to skin contact, induce powerful empathy with one another. This has allowed them to communicate with other organisms, something they excel at. They have already managed to annex several aquatic or amphibious races. And have only spread to a handful of systems after repelling an Orkoid Invasion.
In Space for 45 Years, Owning 5 Solar Systems, Discovered New FTL, Social Assimilationists.
[]- Fleshripper Mimics- Amphibious Carnivorous Starfish that are able to quickly swim through water, or rapidly scuttle on land in bursts of absurd speed. They are dependent on water, and are incredibly vicious swarm hunters. Once latched on barbed tendrils pierce the flesh of the assaulted creature. Paralyzing and overwhelming the bodies impulses. In this way they can cover and control a host body while they feed. They additionally can pile together and temporarily meld for lack of a better term. Suggesting that they harvest dna samples from prey to correctly reshape their exterior.
In Space for 429 Years, Owning 2 Solar Systems, Just Bought FTL, Predatory Collective Hive Mind.

Is this minor xeno species quest in WH40k?
Like this seems like a spot on description of Imperium after they notice such xeno empire?
Which would mean we are being crossed with humans.
And here are Old Gods Chaos?
Or maybe how three species being described plus secret material and 'flesh be blessed' means we are evolved from Tyranid scouts to Milky Way from before Age of Strife?

Oh? i'll leave it open a bit longer then welcome to the death war of survival.
welcome to the death war of survival.
Sorry for nitpicking about this, but the ozone layer shields from ultraviolet radiation, it does basically nothing to thermal radiation.
I am gonna roll for my vote because i can't decide, my profile is telling me to go crab, my mind wants me to vote for the empathy, and my heart wants to go for the not!Tyranids, because WH40K obviously doesn't have enough of those.
