The Symbiote are a humanoid race. Short and squat, they
appear unimposing and have a nasty habit of arguing with other beings. While it is
said the the Matu have never been bettered by another race in hand to hand combat, the
Symbiote has never beaten another race in unarmed combat. They never fought with the
Tholians, but instead, cooperated (as they felt that they were the 'official' rulers of
the galaxy) with them in an attempt to win their favor. The Symbiote even went so
far to exile an intellectual faction, to another galaxy on the Tholian's orders, depriving
them of most of their top minds. When the Symbiote learned of the Seltorians joining
the rebellion, they too followed suit. After the Tholians were expelled, they joined
with the Selts to dominate the rest of the Galaxy. When half the Selt fleet left in
search of the Tholians, the Symbiote were counted on to keep the other races in
line. Soon after, the Wicasa, with help from their allies, crushed the Symbiote
fleet and devisated their homeworld, leaving the survivors to flee in search of the exiled
relatives for protection.
The Symbiote are ruled by their religious leaders. Their
religion however is not based on traditions and folklore like most, but the Symbiote seem
to be able to communicate with their supreme being.
Symbiote ships are conical in shape. They use the Semi-Plasmatic Phaser
instead of phaser I and III on their ships along with the Sonic Vacuum Cannon
(TH401) HEAVY CRUISER (CA) This was the largest ship built by the Symbiote.
It was an average ship in combat, although its main weapon could do a great deal of damage.
(TH408) SURVEY CRUISER (GSC) The single heavy cruiser that survived was
converted into a survey cruiser to act as the fleet flagship in the search for the exiles.
(TH402) LIGHT CRUISER (CL) This was a more commonly seen Symbiote
ship. This was the largest class of ship that survived the rebellions. Two of these ships led
the surviving Symbiote search of their exiles.
(TH403) DESTROYER (DD) This (along with the FF) was the most numerous
Symbiote ship. Most of these ships were lost to the Wicsa's attack, only one fleeing the Galaxy.
(TH404) FRIGATE (FF) This (along with the DD) was the most commonly
seen ship. Many of these were provided to a exile group that fled to a nearby galaxie, 6 survived
the rebellion.
(TH405) LARGE SCOUT (HSC) A variant of the CL, it was introduced to
provide electronic support to the fleet. A very rare ship, only 1 or 2 being built.
(TH406) SMALL SCOUT (SC) A variant of the DD, it was introduced to
provide electronic support to the fleet. More common than the HSC, one survived to help search
for the exiles.
(TH407) BATTLE CRUISER (BC) This ship was under construction at the
Symbiote homework when they were attacked. It was was rushed into service and destroyed on its first
mission.
