The Continuity council has gotten most disturbing reports. Monsters have been confirmed. Intelligent ones which wear the limbs/skins of others as ecruxians wear clothes. Such beings are capable of killing 30 of our soldiers with nothing but the appendages of the F-1!
We will designate these monsters UN1T.
Along with this we now have information about the power of enemy fleets which glow in strange manner. Clearly some upgrades for our own forces are required. Additionally this strength is far beyond anything we ecruxians can hope to muster. Genetic engineering is within our possibilities but the people will never accept it. UN1T would be nearly unbeatable in ground combat and it is only through our perseverance that this option is unlikely for the moment. As such, the ecruxians send their favorite admiral farkas to do something else the people would never accept....
Action 1 - Begin to experiment with Psionic detection capabilities/personnel
We must prepare ourselves to find and uncover these UN1Ts wherever they may hide. Such creatures are only discoverable through extensive DNA testing. In a fortunate turn of events we have already been testing our people stringently to monitor the damage caused by the plague. We confirm no UN1Ts among our existing populations, nor among the F-1 personnel. Yet we face a challenge: how can we identify them among other species?
Thankfully, we finally have the pieces to put together. We have the data from 5 separate data points. The "Orcan" communications. This strange ship which we have thoroughly studied. The UN1Ts corpses alongside detailed genetic analysis.
Action 2 - Develop a larger warship class
Corvettes are fine warships but our vessels are repurposed aquatic vessels leftover from before the void implosion. Despite their new construction they remain planetary craft first and foremost. What we need is a purpose built black-warship. Our finest minds have long been tinkering with this idea and now they dust off the blueprints for something called "Seeker Class" We can only hope it lives up to its name.
