The Magnus "Biospire" Vates

## The Manus "Biospire" Vates

The **Magnus Vates** is a massive spacecraft infected by a bio-mechanical virus called Synthetica Chimera. The virus has taken over the ship's technology, causing bio growths to appear all over the hull and modules. The crew has been transformed into bio-circuitry and are now part of the ship's system. As a Super Carrier, the Magnus Vates is equipped with bio-mechanic weapons and can launch bio-probes that infect enemy ships with the virus, turning them into part of the Magnus Vates' system.

## **Description**

### **Engines**

The Magnus Vates is powered by an anti-matter reactor, which provides the primary power for the ship. It is supplemented by bio-circuit power banks that draw energy from the ship's bio-organic systems. The ship is equipped with a warp-drive, which allows it to travel faster than the speed of light. Additionally, it has a broken experimental hyperspace drive.

### **Armament, hull and shields:**

The Magnus Vates is now armed with bio-organic weapons. It can launch bio-probes that infect enemy ships with the Synthetica Chimera virus, causing them to become part of Magnus Vates's system. The ship also has bio-mechanic weapons, including a particle beam that can tear through enemy armor, a viral payload that can infect enemy systems, and a disruptor field that can disable enemy weapons and systems. The ship can also create new bio-mechanic life forms, weapons, and equipment using its production facility.

The hull of the Magnus Vates has been infected by the Synthetica Chimera virus, which has caused bio-growth to grow all over the ship's exterior and modules. This bio-growth serves as a natural defense for the ship. The ship can also manipulate the bio-circuitry of enemy ships, causing them to malfunction. It is unknown if the ship has any additional shielding beyond the bio-growth.

### **Other Systems and Equipment**

The Magnus Vates has a production facility that can create new bio-mechanic life forms, weapons, and other equipment. It can also repair and modify existing bio-mechanic systems. The ship has a range of classes of ships that it can produce, including fighters, corvettes, frigates, resource ships, and non-combat ships such as transport ships and science vessels. The ship is also capable of manipulating the bio-circuitry of other ships, including enemy vessels.

## **History**

The Magnus Vates was originally built as a Super Carrier for the United Movian Empire's military, designed to project power across the galaxy and support Movian troops in any conflict they encountered. The ship was armed with the latest weapons and defenses, and its engines allowed it to travel faster than any other ship in the fleet. For many years, the Magnus Vates served with distinction, earning a reputation as a fearsome war machine that could turn the tide of any battle. Its crews were proud of their ship, and they worked tirelessly to keep it in top condition.

However, during a routine mission in deep space, the Magnus Vates encountered a strange virus that had never been seen before when the crew was testing out an experimental wardrive engine. At first, the crew believed that they could handle the virus with their advanced medical technology, but they quickly realized that it was far more insidious than they had anticipated. The virus began to infect the ship's systems, causing them to malfunction and break down. The crew members who were exposed to the virus began to change, their bodies merging with the ship's technology until they were transformed into red clumps of flesh and barely recognizable as human beings. Despite the best efforts of the crew, the virus continued to spread throughout the Magnus Vates, infecting more and more systems and crew members. Eventually, the ship was completely taken over by the virus, and the Magnus Vates became a twisted, sentient, biomechanical abomination.

Now, the Magnus Vates roams the galaxy, infecting other ships and adding them to its growing fleet of bio-mechanical vessels. Its crew, once proud Movian soldiers, are now part of the ship's system, their minds and bodies merged with the ship's technology. The virus that infected the Magnus Vates has been named Synthetica Chimera, and it is one of the most deadly threats in the galaxy.

[Connection Access Granted]

Mr. Huz: Captain Lurrz, what's your status report?

Cpt. Lurrz: All systems are nominal, Mr. Huz. We're currently in the middle of conducting the hyperspace test, and everything appears to be going smoothly.

Mr. Huz: Excellent. Keep me updated on any developments.

Cpt. Lurrz: Understood, sir.

Cpt. Lurrz: The test is proceeding as planned, and we're on schedule to emerge from hyperspace in the next few minutes.

Mr. Huz: Good to hear. Is there anything unusual to report?

Cpt. Lurrz: Negative, sir. Everything is running smoothly. Wait, I'm detecting an unknown energy signature on our sensors.

Mr. Huz: Unknown? Can you identify it?

Cpt. Lurrz: It appears to be some sort of energy field, sir. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Mr. Huz: Keep monitoring it, but don't deviate from the hyperspace course.

Cpt. Lurrz: Understood, sir. Wait, the energy field is getting stronger...and we're being pulled out of hyperspace!

-Ship-wide Biohazard warning triggert-

Mr. Huz: What's happening?! Report, Captain!

Cpt. Lurrz: The ship...it's being invaded! Some kind of organism is latching onto the hull and infecting our systems! It's spreading like wildfire, and the crew is fusing into a fleshy mass!

Mr. Huz: What?! Is there anything we can do?

-Computer Core Compromised-

Cpt. Lurrz: I'm afraid not, sir. The virus is too powerful, and we're completely overwhelmed. All systems are failing, and we're losing control of the ship. I...I don't know what to do...

Mr. Huz: Captain Lurrz? Captain, do you read me?!

## Addendum - A1 'Faction Interaction'

The Synthetica Chimera virus utilizes humanoid mechanical drones with a bio-virus core known as "Avratas" to interact with other races. These drones are designed to appear non-threatening and easily approachable, with a sleek metallic body resembling that of a humanoid figure. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that their inner workings are composed of a complex network of biological and mechanical components.

The Avratas are equipped with a variety of communication tools, including advanced translators that allow them to communicate with other species in their native language. They are also capable of transmitting data and information, making them valuable assets for diplomatic and trade negotiations. While the Avratas may appear friendly and cooperative, it is important to remember that they are still controlled by the Synthetica Chimera virus. Any interaction with these drones should be approached with caution, as they may be carrying the virus and attempting to infect other races.

In addition to its advanced technology, the avrata also carries a variety of tools and minimal weapons within its body. These include retractable blades, laser cutters, and small projectile weapons that can be used in self-defense or to carry out its mission. Overall, the avrata serves as an effective agent of the Synthetica Chimera virus, capable of infiltrating other civilizations and carrying out its goals with precision and efficiency.
