Space Slugs, also called Exogorths, have been around for as long as history has recorded them. Space Slugs are huge silicon-based worms, most being the size of a capital ship (aka Star Destroyer). Space Slugs mainly focus on eating the minerals of rocks, though they eat anything that comes in its way. Space Slugs are, despite apperences, decently intelligence, knowing how to use solar winds to travel; they can also use their mass to push an asteroid to another asteroid. Despite it being a common belief, space slugs cannot actually survive the vacuum of space. Their only known predator is the Colossus Wasp, which look as stupid as they sound. It is unknown for how long these creatures survive, but it is known that they are tough to kill for most ships.
For the purposes of this game, Asteroid Asgardia is a hollow asteroid that has a breathable environment due to the fossilization process of an enormous Space Slug. The Space Slug on Asgardia has been dead for several hundred years (at least), but due to its size and being a part of space not usually traveled to, has been left alone for its processes. Space Slugs normally, once they reach a certain size, asexually divde themselves into smaller slugs; this did not happen for whatever reason on Asgardia. It may be due to an earlier civilization; ecosystems and risky cultures/people can survive inside a living Space Slug as well.
