Editing Scourge (section)

===Vehicles===
All Scourge vehicles are at least partially organic in nature and are piloted by adult Scourge that failed to take a host before maturity. The pilots are suspended in a black, tar-like nutrient soup and neurologically (and permanently) integrated into their respective machines in a technological reproduction of the Scourge possession process. This melding of alien and machine gives Scourge pilots an unprecedented level of control over their vehicles, resulting in incredibly organic and instinctive maneuvers unmatched by any other species. 

Scourge vehicles, both on land and in the air are powered by on-board fusion reactors that rely on mass repulsion systems to maneuver. Although highly advanced, this technology drastically lowers the maximum altitude of Scourge aircraft as higher altitudes exponentially increase the power draw from the reactor. The end result is that during a planetary invasion, Scourge aircraft must be dropped into a planets atmosphere from low orbit and freefall until they reach an acceptable altitude.
