The Veel were a species of biomechanical construct that were active in the Daemoniverse and Machinus.

Design

Information available of the Veel represents them as long, finned constructs with rounded 'heads' and dark bodies.

They had two depressions in the 'head', each of which housed multiple sensory devices and several lasers. They were highly sensitive to the presence of other objects, such as ships.

The front of the Veel bore a shifting howitzer- a weapon which fired shells which shunted their mass into other dimensions while in transit, and then extracted it just before impact. These shells usually contained antimatter or fusion cores.

Other weapons carried by the construct were mass drivers, singularity torpedoes, and powerful particle beams. Their armour was repulsor sheets over "preonium", a substance many orders of magnitude more dense and hard than Neutronium-Metal or even Shining Armour.

The Veel could travel through Ultraspace, and cross universes.

Intelligence and Behaviour

The creators of the Veel made them to destroy any living things that threatened their creators. They were given sapience to best enable this, and as such were artificial intelligences (with some organic neural material), extremely able with problem-solving and strategy.

They attacked any detected civilisation.

History

The Veel were encountered by the Veiled Ones at around 0.490(.321) AM. They reached the Daemoniverse and were then defeated, mainly through the use of Planet-Stations such as Third Paradise.

At least one was detected in Machinus afterwards, and the Planet-Stations were sent out to clear any remaining.
