The Wasp is a creature native to the rocky planet UX-745.
Biology[]
A giant insectoid creature that can burrow underground. It resembles a six-legged ant with six legs, a head with a dark mane and long pincers and six eyes.
Despite the Wasp's ferocious appearance, the species is typically docile, sticking together in herds and live on a herbivorous diet.
History[]
At some point UX-745 were infected by a space-borne virus that affected many neighboring systems. The virus upon entering a planet's orbit becomes airborne, spreading quickly. The virus being unpredictable causes inflammation of the brain of lifeforms, making them suspicious, intensely territorial and highly aggressive. If untreated populations can be ravaged in the fallout.
Thankfully scientists of the Galactic Council managed to develop a highly contagious vaccine to neutralize the virus. They then sent doctors to administer the vaccine to the afflicted worlds.
When a distress call was received from the mining colony of UX-745 that the Wasps were attacking them, the Council dispatched Dr. Isabel Stripe armed with a mech and vaccine dosages to handle the situation. Dr. Stripe managed to save two hunters from a Wasp who had ignored the stay indoors notification. After curing it and sending off to its herd, she explained her purpose.
Though she was met with skepticism and hostility, by the two belligerent males. This led her to conclude that the virus was adversely affecting the hunters, and causing her to restrain them in order to vaccinate them.
