Faction name: The Malum

Faction Leader: Malum Incarnatus

History: The Malum (Literally, 'The Doom') are a human crossbreed/offshoot race hailing from the planet called Aeterna Flamma (Literally, 'The Eternal Flame'). Their ancestors were Human colonists, who were captured by an alien race that was simply called by them, 'The Malum'. These 'aliens' were (fortunately) extremely hospitible, but still they would not let the Humans go, knowing how destructive Humans can be when they find other intelligent life (this was after First Contact). However, they did allow them to stay on their home planet. It's name is impossible to pronounce in English, suffice it to say it's direct translation was 'Eternal Flame'. Eventually over the hundreds of years, Humans began to crossbreed with Malum. The Half-Humans that resulted from this are the direct ancestors of the Malum we know and dread today.

It has been over 1000 years since the first Human-Malum crossbreeding. The numbers of the trueblood Malum and Humans are dwindling.

15 years since last update. The remaining 'True Blood' have been driven out. The new race takes the name the 'Malum'.

Today: The Malum faction today controls 6 planets and their moons. They have a large fleet, and are advanced to the point of being able to harness Plasma energy and use it as a weapon. They are on the verge of discovering the secret behind Hard Light. They are physically stronger and larger than Humans, and have tough, fire resistant scales like their 'True-Blood Malum' ancestors.
