Nomad Descriptions

Queen Nomad Strain
The Queen is the newest Nomad strain encountered in Sirius. The first and only recorded encounter with the strain happened onboard the AMC Blackstar during a routine tech hunt in Omicron Delta. There is very little information on this strain since it was destroyed during the Blackstar incident; however, the data provided is based of the surveillance recordings.

Characteristics:
The Queen resembles a Warrior but its tentacles protrude out from its back and are used to grab things rather than transport it. The Queen is not as aggressive as the Warrior Strain but many times stronger and larger than the average Warrior. Colored a dark blue/purple, it uses an optical field to see, which is recognized as a large red spot on its forward extremity.

Function:
The Queen is the evolutionary response towards humans adaptation of exoskeletal combat suits which Nomads seem to have difficulties breaking. They also function as a supply source for the Infesting Slugs and Warriors by producing a type of nutrient spore that it spews into the air as a thick green fog that quickly dissipates and becomes clear. If threatened enough it will become extremely aggressive and will charge any opponent. When charging the Queen is too be considered extremely dangerous because unlike the other strains, the Queen is strong enough too tear a Cruiser hull apart.

Additional Abilities: Telepathy, Psychic Intuition

Weakness:
Like all Nomad Strains, the Queen Strain feeds off any energy-based weapons. Laser weapons are just ignored, and plasma weaponry will only make the Queen angrier. Although its hide is energy absorbing, it doesnt protect it from projectile weapons. Small arms fire such as pistols and civilian rifles wont affect it, but military grade assault rifles will pierce it quite efficiently. The most effective weapon observed against the Queen is the AMAG 50mm Rail Auto Gun, which seems to do extreme damage.
