Megalith

Briefing

When it was first encountered by Genari forces, this organism was mistaken for a Monolith. That is until they realized that not only is it bigger, it also has firepower that greatly advances on its smaller sibling. Until the Hive entities showed up, it was theorized by Genari Matriarchs to be the largest a creature like this could get. It gave the Genari forces a false belief that their heavy cruisers would always remain superior to the Perseus Hive. Though Megaliths are relatively rare, they boast a large array of short range weapons. While other Monoliths tend to become Hive Entities by this stage, it seems that the segmented Monolith molts into this unique organism without any further ability to develop further. It even retains its proboscis, quite oversized and very capable of consuming an entire crew complement of a human corvette. Clearly differentiated with its two extra appendages and its cruiser-sized carapace. Regeneration Rate 15
