Difference between revisions of "Aparoid"

Higher orders of the Aparoid species exhibit behavior that is closely reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia: Borg|Borg]] from ''[[Wikipedia: Star Trek|Star Trek]]''. They are able to infest biological and non-biological entities (such as computers), as in the missions that take place on [[Corneria]], where a number of Cornerian military personnel actively fight against the player, apparently having been telepathically or otherwise controlled by the Aparoids. [[General Pepper]] and his fighter is similarly turned against the player. Pigma Dengar is himself assimilated into a huge, cube-like space station which resembles a Borg Cube. On [[Fichina]], the Aparoids take control of an atmospheric control center and reprogram the defense drones there to fight [[Fox]] and his allies. The Aparoids are also said to have been inspired by a raid of some bees, wasps and/or flies during development.
