Deviants

Early researchers called it "incomplete evolution": the product of organisms that were invaded by Stardust particles, began an omega decay reaction, and then had the decay aborted too early in the process (less than 37%). The genomes of these organisms have been greatly altered by Stardust, but the incomplete omega decay has led to the accumulation of large amounts of Stardust residue in their bodies, most of which are twisted and strange, but also very powerful, far more so than any "pre-evolution" lifeforms on Earth. They are not dead, because there is no medical criterion to determine their "death" (they still breathe on their own, their brain waves are persistent and strong, their blood circulation shows no signs of stopping, every cell is even "immortal" like a cancer cell); but when omega decay is aborted, they are already dead, because no decay aborted below 37% of the process has been found to be re-activated - they never "come back" again. They will never "come back." Internal experimental data from before Starfall showed that the rate of advanced primates being transformed to Deviants during omega decay was over 99.87%, which is a huge advantage compared to other mammals. When Rosetta returned to the surface in 2029, most of the Great Ones had left and returned to the Rift Space where they had hibernated, but the world was still occupied by a huge number of Deviant of all shapes and sizes. In contrast, the surviving humans (including Rosetta staff and survivors on the surface) are dominant in neither numbers nor firepower. But reclaiming the world has always been our long-term goal, and we have not given up.
