THE THAL

THE THAL are without doubt the most alien race encountered by the Federation. They have been likened to a galactic locust swarm, remorselessly hungry and too numerous to stop. They are a nomadic, space-dwelling race, which has migrated from beyond the Milky Way in search of new resources to assimilate. These they have found in abundance within the assorted alien races of the Alpha Quadrant. The Thal only descend onto planets to totally strip them of their biomass before moving on, leaving nothing but a scoured ball of rock in their wake.

The Thal have fleets consist of millions of crystalline craft, each home to thousands of creatures. All of these creatures are born to serve the singular entity of the Hive Mind. Individual Thal have no distinct minds like Humans – each Thal simply fulfills the function assigned to it by the greater Hive Mind. The smaller, mindless creatures are unthinking and instinctive, but a fully cognisant Thal warrior can make decisions appropriate to the situation. At war, the Thal form a ferocious, unstoppable horde, an avalanche of aggression driven on by the racial imperative of the Hive Mind. Unrelenting and unstoppable, the Thal race represents an unimaginable threat to both the Federation and the whole galaxy.
