Summary: Belligerent and obese, Gorges
serve as a kind of mobile hive and support unit.
Their most important role is triggering new
hives and creating chambers
from lumps of raw matter
they
un-digest. Without them the aliens
cannot keep pace with marine
research and upgrades.
To this end, they receive resources much faster
than other species, and can tap a larger amount.
They can also spray healing
bacteria from their mouths, restoring chambers
and other aliens to full effectiveness. Though
their role is not as aggressive as the other species,
they consistently find ways to cause mischief
and support attacks on enemy positions. And with
their spit,
web and babbler
abilities, underestimating them in combat is a
dangerous mistake. [Name]
