Deatharon Prime..............
300 miles from the city of Berlin.

The Fatherland tech labs were at work on a project to make a perfect speices to defend the Fatherland and the Confederation from its enemies. The Ithkul were orginally created by the Antarans for that purpose. The Problem was the first generation Ithkul attacked the Hegemony and nearly brought it to its knees. The Antarans had samples of D.N.A. from the First generation Ithkul. The Creatures were a menace in the Antaries Galaxy that the old Empire had to battle constantly. Luckly when the Empire blew up the Galaxy all the Ithkul were wiped out in the blast. The Second Generation would have some changes from the orginal:

-- Have Psy link with each other giving a them hivemind personality
-- Antaran D.N.A. mixed with its own giving it regenerative abilities and powerful Immune system, which if touching a hostile creature can eat him away. (Think Speices 8472 in Startrek.)
-- Can keep hosts living longer when infecting them and draining them.

OOC: This is FT based with Master of Orion Tech and Startrek tech.
The Title was suppose to be Harvester however I missed spelled it as I typed it.

The cloning labs constantly reproduced the newly built species. It was like the orginal. It would reproduce rapidly but would die with out a host body in which to feed upon. The scientists beamed there creations in a Xintium enforced room full of Forced Labor prisioners. The prisioners were told they could take a break in there barracks unfortantely they were to be the first subjects to be host for the Ithkul. The Ithkul immediatly went into action. They used there psy power to blast there indented victims and "jumped" at them. The Ithkul would then latch on to the victim and insert there tenticales and start infecting the victim. The Ithkul in a matter of seconds would have complete control of the body. The creatures worked together in a preadtory like pack thanks to the hivemind. This seemed to make them even more dangerious. The Psykers were employed to control the first patch of Ithkul untill the Fuhrer could come out of his cloneing cell were they gentically engineered his new body.

The Ithkul once taken there hosts. Started reproduceing more of themselves. This meant that more hosts were needed in order to create a decent recuriment for this new speicies. The cloneing labs were going double time on produceing cloned bodies of different citizens that had there D.N.A. on file for possiable cloneing should they want to be brought back from the dead so to speak. The Ithkul took these hosts the same way as the first patch. The room was getting crowed rapidly. The Completed Ithkul were beamed to an underground complex. The first Harvester Hive Fleet was soon finished. This Harvester Fleet was giving the name Waffen and was giving the job to defend the Fuhrer. The ships were being constructed seperately they were made from the same D.N.A. as the Ithkul which linked them to the Hivemind as well. The Fuhrer Alfred Von Antheron came out of the Cloneing tube. He looked like a human that was permantly fused with the Ithkul. He was now the only one that could command the Hivemind of the Ithkul. The Fuhrer Alfred now could have the Ithkul under his command do what ever he wished. The Fuhrer was pleased by the Drones and ships complete obdiance to his command and then he turned to the Antaran Scientists and the other reasearch speices on staff and said, "These Creations will do for now but I want more Harvester Hive Fleets." The Staff all at once said, "Yes my Fuhrer!!"

Seven Months later...........

The Labs were mass reproducing Ithkul. The goals was to make another Harvester Hive Fleet. The Clones were also going on overtime. It even got to the point that people who were sentience to death by the Confederation were sent to the labs to becoming another host for the creations. The Fuhrer could feel and control every Ithkul like they were part of his body. He knew his new body had to be hidden from the general population. The Fuhrer started using a mobile holo image shield where ever he went. The children of the Fatherland would never know of his horriable appearance. The Harvester Hive ships had an internal cloaking ability which they used to hid from the normal public sight. The Fuhrer Alfred was starting to feel the strain of controling the now millions of Ithkul. He decided that the Harvester fleet Waffen should stay in Deatharon Prime to protect himself and the capital. The new Harvester Hive Fleet which was named Death's head were difficult to control due to the stress put upon the Fuhrer. The Antarans came up with a plan for this problem. They created another enhanced Ithkul called a Hive master. This creation would help the Fuhrer direct the Harvester Hive Fleet. The Hive master once created and implemented eased the Fuhrers stress considerably. The Hive master was ordered to take Death's head Fleet to the Outer territories of the Aries Supercluster. The Fleet would reproduce and grow by cloneing hosts and reproducing themselves. The Scientist could not afford to create any more Harvester fleets untill much later.

Three years later........

The Next Harvester hive fleet was underconstruction. It was code name Harvester Hivefleet Luffwaffe. This hivefleet was meant to be more ship based than ground based. It would make up the core of the Ithkul Harvester Hive Fleets. They would bring terror to the many enemies of the Confederation.

OOC: How can mixing D.N.A. result in powerful regenerative properties and immune system?

OOC: More like experminating on the D.N.A. of certain charatersitcs and trying to get the combination you want thus making a whole new speices.
