Phage

The Phage evolved on a world that had no world crystal. Without a world crystal to accelerate their development, the Phage took much longer to evolve than the Seeders had, none the less, evolve they did.

The Phage are a short lived and technologically focused race. The Phage are naturally slugiform creatures but have very advanced genetic engineering and are capable of adjusting their forms to suit whatever purpose is required in a relatively short period of time.

The Phage developed space travel and then developed Faster than Light travel. They explored the multiverse founding colonies as they went.

Eventually a Seeder fleet encountered one of the Phagan worlds. The Seeders were shocked to discover independently evolved life in the Multiverse after having given up hope in their search so many lifetimes ago. Curious, they decided to investigate from orbit. The sophisticated Phagan settlers detected the orbiting Seeder ship and dispatched a military vessel to investigate. The Seeders were amazed at the Phage's technological development.

First Contact

The bioengineered Phagan Cruiser achieved dock with the Seeder's magitech Research Vessel. Airlocks were cycled and the Phage met with the Seeders. The slugiform Phage contingent entered the Seeder's vessel and the humanoid Seeders struggled to disguise their revulsion. The Phage were similarly disturbed by the rigidity of the Seeder form.

Having spent long years hoping to discover other life in the multiverse, the Seeders were well prepared and gave the Phagan contingent a chest containing resources designed to assist an alien culture with understanding the Seeder culture. The Leader of the Phagan contingent used a syringe to draw some of its body fluids, which were placed into a vial and given to the Seeders. The Phage then returned to their vessel, undocked and assumed station near the Seeder vessel.
