Editing Scavvies (section)

==Ghilliam==
Ghilliam are essentially the same as Scavvies, but specifically those sub-humans who inhabit the low points of starships.

Aboard starships they are considered vermin. Unlike on terrestrial worlds where there "might" be some native flora/fauna to subsist off of, aboard a starship all the dregs can really live off are the scraps cast down from waste disposal units or maybe they get lucky and trap the occasional juicy crew-member and feed the whole family. By living in the "uninhabitable" portions of the ship they've grown resistant to the cold, most toxins, and are adept at fighting in total darkness.

Despite their disgusting departure from the rest of humanity, some starships actually find a use for them. In the [[Rogue Trader (RPG)]] there is a rank of crewman called '''Twistcatcher''' whose sole function is to descend to the lower decks and bring back small communities of Ghilliam so that they might "serve" on the crew. Fundamentally this allows PCs to replace particularly grievous crew-population losses without having to return to port, though it has a negative effect on crew morale.

Even amongst Ghilliam there is an entirely separate class of sub-deck abhuman. Usually found on Space Hulks, these creatures are more like predators rather than scavengers and will usually hunt alone, stalking down prey.

They are monsters in the [[Dark Heresy]] setting, mostly with the same stats as Ghilliam, but with more mutations thrown on the top and a complete immunity to toxic and radiation hazards.
