Basicly the title, this is just a suggestion i posted for Upgradecap to see but im gussing he doesent check Tim-corp so im posting it for all to see along with some more ideas behind the concept.
but first the original post
"i had an idea for a mystery faction, but im neither a coder or a spriter and i feel like i would suck at both.
I called it the cult of the forsaken labortories.
if you do take this idea feel free to call it or change it however you want but i wanted their main trait to be that they GROW ships out of bio material.
Like the outside of the hull would be bone white and well...floating bone where as their ship system would be some bio regenerating armor organ or something.
I wanted them to have a strong armor belt that can of couse regenerate over time, but poor actuall health.
as for weapons i though like a bile bomb that could eat armor over time but does nothing to shields or like a bone spike cannon that shoots....spikes.
Since their grown their crew requiremnets arent big, but they cant think for themselves so they still need A crew.
If you want ill tell you the concept story i came up with but thats the jist of what i got."

Now its story time, not sure if it should be lore based or not, either way if anyone wants to take the concept its yours to change how you wish, god knows im no artist.
-----Back when money ruled the universe and humanity was all but united under one banner, the unity of man were still looking for new and exiting
ways to destroy. However there was one industry who made it their sole purpose to rebuild. Taking the name "the phoenix renewal" this
corporation made it their interest to construct entire worlds ecosystems into balance for reoccupation. However there were still limits and time
constraints to the projects that were barely efficient, but no one had created a more advanced way then atmospheric proccesors and importing
geneticly modified flora. Then came phoenix renewals secret project. The eve virus (cancer, gene? idk).
-----On a barren world called Tartarus, the renewal sent their top agents and scientists to see if they could make life livable on a planet that had
no life to begin with. This staff devoted their lives and childeren to the task, content to never leave the station in endless pursuit in the attempt
3 generations passed before the task was done. Their creation took existing biomaterial and converted it into what it needed to survive even when
there is no material to be had it sleeps until it comes into contact with the neccecary nutrients to reproduce and shape itself into its own biome.
-----After this creation was revealed to humanities government they were given enough material to make Tartarus live and breath. In a short 20
years the entire world was sprayed with the biomass which then evolved first into living atmospheric converters to force the planet to rain. It dug
into the earth to pump nutriens into the existing ground. And when that was done, it decided it was time for an ecosystem. Resistant and hardy
animals and plants emerged from seemingly nothing and soon blanketed the newly named planet of elysium. Humanity was pleased.
-----However they had another plan for the eve (thing). They saw the potention for using it as aweapon, one that endlessy renewed itself if
released on an inhabited planet. The scienteists who grew to love their creation were horrified for its future and refused to give it up for war.
Humanity didnt give them a choice, they assualted the planet . The inhabitants retalliated.
-----Origionally the phoenix renewal made EVE unable to target humans for assimilattion for fear it would consume them. When it came time
to protect themselves each member donated their DNA to the makeup of EVE so that it knew not to target them and their decendents....but
removed the restraints on all other humans. when humanity came with their great ships they found an entire planet resisting occupation.
EVE was made to destroy anything that stopped assimilation or that destroyed its biomes. They way it did this was to evolve into whatever
would work best against its opponent. Even when humanity thought themselves safe in their ships EVE evolved its own and sent them to battle.
-----With the fear of provoking this virus to spread they abandodned all operations to seize it since whatever sample they could get dissolved itself.
Their fear of beeing overtaken by EVE and Elysium inhabitens ensured no one would start the war that could end all humans they didnt want to
spare. So they lived on silent and content with their creation. No longer calling themselves a part of humanity they called themselves the children
of eve. Humanity called them The cult of the forsaken laboritiory.
