==Revolt== The vetrovnak were not always agreeable with their handlers' objectives. Being functionally immortal this was especially true of the elders who had seen the changing of the guard back in Novi Dinarsko High Commanded dozens if not hundreds of times. The ever growing politicization of the Reclamation, mismanaged aggressive compliance campaigns by high command, and the dozens of war torn worlds lead the elders to a single conclusion: humans rarely acted in their own best interests. Even when doing so the vetrovnak noticed it was usually a stepping stone to greater power for the individual. The discontented elders lobbied their masters for more autonomy, arguing they were more suited to running the Reclamation. They were shot down of course but given their clout and power they could not simply be made to disappear into the night - the only humans left who had the mentality capable of pulling that off were usually locked up tight in an isolation facility to prevent them from contamination the peaceful public at large. Those who held the leash were confident they wouldn't need to, the genetic imperative wouldn't allow them to harm them. Even if that failed they had a back up. During a lull in the campaign - one that usually coincided with election season back in Novi Dinarsko the vetrovnak elders took it upon themselves to remedy the situation. They were numerous enough that they massively outnumbered the robotic elements of the military or the few humans that were kept around who could handle this sort of stuff. It was an easy task to simply arrive in orbit around Novi Dinarsko in enough to blot out the sun. They hoped the threat would be enough to cow the High Command. Such tactics had after all worked well elsewhere. At first glance, it appeared that the elders' plan would succeed. High Commanded showed every sign of acquiescing to the vetrovnak's demands. It was all a ploy though, to get as many of them on the ground as possible to lure them into a trap. At the ceremony where the power was to be transferred the trap was sprung: the vetrovnak's masters released a nanomechanical virus that would ravage the vetrovnak. The vetrovnak in attendance found themselves gasping for air they thought they didn't need, falling to the earth and dying as the nanites that they owed their existence to turned on them at the virus's behest. They died agonizing deaths as their masters gloated and laughed at their gall. However, one in thirteen of the vetrovnak found that their agony ebbed away, replaced with new strength and a sudden voracious hunger. They rose from the ground, baring their teeth their fangs at those who had betrayed their trust. Somehow, the nano-virus triggered a mutation of sorts in them and instead of dying it made them crave the life-force of their human masters. Each and every human in attendance there died that night their blood drained from the bodies. When the surviving vetrovnak came to they were aghast at what happened - at their former masters and most of all at themselves. They had been turned into cannibalistic vampires in return for their freedom.
