K240 - Amiga Game - Swixarans (11/12)

A playthrough of K240 against the Swixarans.

SWIXARANS

Home world: They originate from the densely grouped star systems at the heart of our galaxy. We have detected their presence in over thirty star systems.

Physical Description: The Swixarans are one of those rare cases when plant life has developed intelligence and the ability to develop technology. A typical Swixaran is between 1m and 4m high and composed of a mass of soft and pliable shoots and creepers. Constantly moving. Their exact form varies with their surroundings - if they enter corridors they flatten their body and use many of their creepers to probe the way ahead. We are unsure
of their sensory organs but it is likely they possess very sensitive touch sensors in their extremities and maybe motion detectors as well. There is a small part of their body which we suspect houses their vital organs and
brain, but it is always well protected by the creepers.

Habitat: Unknown, but we suspect either dense jungle worlds or huge forests.

Technology: Almost incomparable to our own, since much of their technology is based on biological proteins and DNA encoded, self replicating tissue. They are very advanced in areas of shield generation and cloaking devices.

Social Structure: Difficult to determine. We suspect that they possess a group intelligence and there is evidence to support the theory that a great deal of this intelligence is located in a particular location on each asteroid. Their aims seem only to be expansion and colonisation.

Power Generation: We do not understand their method of power generation. It is certainly biologically based and undoubtedly bears more resemblance to blood sugar levels in their organic structures, rather than the
harnessing of nuclear power.

Special Weapons: Our spies report several closely guarded weapons, the details of which are unavailable at this time. Be prepared for anything!

Military Strategy: They seem to react to our own strategies and attacks rather than initiating their own they are especially susceptible to fire-based weaponry, but otherwise their structures are well protected. There does seem to be a pattern to their attacks, but we have yet to understand it.
