any info on the c'tan?

[Tenacity]

I'm not going for super-race either, nor super technology =P

I'm really basing it off of the zerg/aliens, as shown by the signature... they'll be an organic race with little knowledge of technology, but scary looking and very lethal in hand to hand combat.

The idea I was originally going with is that a few of them managed to get onboard an exploration ship - maybe via eggs or soemthing that were brought onboard by the explorers running the ship - and then 'hatched' or came to life and started taking over, slaughtering crew members and keeping only a few of them alive to run the ship.

And as for 'what would they do' - it wouldnt be some galaxy-spanning empire like the k'vosh/c'tan. The infected ship would simply drift through colonized space, scaring the crap out of people and boarding/infecting other vessels.

It's more of an isolated incident than a full on invasion.
