Upgrade

Originally an uninhabited moon orbiting Galvan Prime, Galvan B was accidentally brought to life by an environmental disaster. Galvan scientists mining the resource-rich world for its raw materials misused an experimental self-replicating nanotechnology, which bonded with the moon's minerals and imbued the fertile ground with sentient consciousness. Though Galvan B seems to have reverted to its natural state, subtle surface ripples and the occasional metallic glint say otherwise. Any alien presence on the moon is sure to be consumed and quickly disappears.

Species: Glavanic Mechomorphs

A result of environmental engineering gone awry, Galvanic Mechomorphs are an entirely new and unique species in the galaxy. These amorphous biomechanical beings are living machines with liquid metallic skin and complex systems of self-forming organic circuits. Due to the "nanites" that makes up the core of their biology, Mechomorphs are able to merge with any technology and "upgrade" it into an incredible piece of ultra-tech. In this merged form, Mechomorphs can literally bring anything - from a toaster to a satellite - to life. Spreading over a machine like a fluid blanket of mercury, they are able to communicate with the apparatus, vastly increasing its functions. While Mechomorphs are masters of the mechanical, their powers are useless on living creatures. Sentient science kits, there is nothing artificial about them - even the plasma beams they produce come from a series of complex internal machinations. Being highly sensitive, finely tuned beings, electromagnetic pulses, acid or any other sort of corrosive can upset their delicate chemistry and wreak havoc on a Mechomorp's systems.
