Event: Reapers

Type: Universal
The Reapers are a highly-advanced machine race of synthetic-organic starships. The Reapers reside in deep space: the vast, mostly starless space between galaxies. They hibernate there, dormant for fifty thousand years at a time, before returning to the galaxy.
The Reapers scheme to harvest the galaxy’s sentient life in a repeating cycle of purges that has continued relentlessly over countless millennia. 
Once Activated the Reapers will attack from the outer edge of the universe towards the center, with all resources and life encountered being taken by the Reapers to create additional Reapers until the entire universe has been stripped and majority of life extinguished - after which they will withdrawal again.
The Reapers can only be stopped by destroying them.
