Starcraft Factions - Fenris

Fenris

Cerebrate: Nargil
Estimated Size: 5500/various tribes
Primary Role: Hunter Swarm
Brood Color: Green Known

for their excellent tracking abilities, the Fenris Brood are often called upon to hunt down escaped Brood creatures and roaming swarm enemies in inaccessible terrain or in the endless deep to hunt of the universe. The spawn are not very large in numbers, but carry out their tasks with relentless precision and skill. Their primary task, however, is to find new races and genetic strains that the swarm can benefit from through absorption. Once an acceptable race is found, the Brood will hunt it down until it is either assimilated by the Overmind or completely wiped out.

Zerg Races

Little is known about the various races that make up Zerg swarms. Terran scientists have begun to document and classify some of the larger races that have ravaged their colonies. What seems clear is that each particular race/breed is descended from a unique Cerebrate that carries out the commands of the Overmind. Each cerebrate has the power to build its own brood to carry out its tasks. While it is difficult to distinguish one brood from another, Terran scouts believe they have found that they vary in functionality and purpose. It is considered proven that certain races work so closely together as if they were intertwined extensions of a larger tactical force. Terran researchers have given the races names of monsters from ‘ancient Earth’ mythology.
