History[]

The Brood originally hail from a dying universe, many of them having escaped before it's collapse. The history within that universe remains unknown. Some who did not managed to survive through the unfortunate effect of being stranded in the place between the two universes. Within the known universe, they discovered spacefaring creatures such as the Acanti and the Space Sharks and immediately set about enslaving them to help them travel the universe. The Brood, seeing all other forms of life as enemies or slaves, immediately set about using their ability to travel through space to begin their goal of universal conquest.
