De'Khete are anisotropic creatures. In essence, they are a Manifestation of Mirk that brought into existence a bizarre combination of the vilest qualities and instincts of the Mea'Tarr who perished in the Mirk....
Led by an unknown force, the lifeless shells of De'Khete would have wandered aimlessly, appearing now and then in remote systems... but something far more terrible has happened: these lost spirits started to follow someone's lead. From that moment on, De'Khete started to appear everywhere in great numbers, accompanied by increasingly bizarre battle constructions.
The appearance of De'Khete became a crucial moment in the unfolding events of the Galaxy. Later on, the historians will tie the invasion of De'Khete to the beginning of the so-called Second Age.
De'Khete are obsessed with the idea of converting all living creatures into the Mirk. At the same time, they do not pursue any specific goals, but simply destroy any life they encounterš. De'Khete are not even a race, but a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly more common. The creatures that still have their lives will have to face another fearsome enemy.
