The tapestry moth is an interstellar nightmare whose existence has only been recently confirmed. They approach starships in space and dimension door onto the starship’s hull, bypassing starship shields or other defenses. Able to squeeze into openings only inches wide, they skitter to cargo bay doors, air locks, or other ports and access panels. Once inside, tapestry moths systematically slaughter the crew of these starships, ambushing their prey one by one or in small numbers and hiding the bodies, or stowing away to slip past a space station’s defenses. No matter the strategy, these acts of mayhem aren’t random, but rather the purposeful acts of bioengineered living weapons of unknown origin.
