Pronounced ‘serpent’, these bio-mechanical snakes  can be anywhere from 2–20 metres in length. It is not clear if the snakes are naturally occurring and then modified with cyberware, or if specific biomass is grown and then grafted together with technology. Either way, the result is a hideous worm with various metal and plastic bits sticking out. It appears the AI built these creatures to infiltrate enemy ships, slipping inside the inner workings to sabotage systems during boarding operations. With the loss of the central artificial intelligence, these creatures now follow their default programming, attempting to destroy the systems of any ship that cannot be positively identified as a friend. 
While these creatures do have their own defence mechanisms, they are more feared for the damage they can do to a ship than a person. Because of their small size, surprising speed, and technological camouflage systems, they can be difficult to locate and hard to destroy.
