SPECIAL ABILITIES:
Inhabit Body: By use of Droid Programming or Computer Programming, the Scourge is capable of taking over Droids and Computer intelligences and using their bodies as his own, adding them to the hive mind that he is. As he became more skilled, he learned to use Willpower to take over Cyborgs, and eventually fully organic beings. In game terms this is a contested roll (Droid Progamming, Computer Programming or Willpower), however although the Scourge has Force Points, they cannot use them for this test, but the opponent can.

Description: The Scourge was a malevolent droid created from the union of the Spark Eternal and a droid intelligence once locked away by the Sith. While the Scourge was indeed a new being created by their union, it once referred to itself as the same individual as the droid found by the Spark Eternal. However, on another occasion, the Scourge affirmed that the droid was simply a part of itself, much like the Spark and every mind it consumed.
The Scourge existed as a single conscious across its many bodies, thus meaning everyone infected by the Scourge was a mere vessel for the being. As it spread into more and more bodies, however, the Scourge was unable to process everything and began to fracture. In moments of extreme importance, the Scourge would need to focus itself in a single location and the bodies it had there. In order to manage itself, the Scourge created four additional primary bodies to focus different traits of itself through; the Warrior, the Scholar, the Child, and the Elder. It destroyed its Elder body during an argument with itself over its sanity. The Scourge was eventually destroyed by the droid revolutionary Ajax Sigma.
Biography
Having become self-aware and growing hungry in its quest for knowledge, the Scourge targeted droids to learn what was in their memory banks. Only growing more hungry and realizing it would be destroyed if it stopped, it launched a quest to take over the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War and worked to find a way to inhabit organics. As part of its campaign, the Scourge spread itself as a corruption of droids and cyborgs throughout the galaxy as the "scourge of the droids." Even though vessels for the Scourge could display signs of individuality, such as talking to each other, the Scourge existed as the singular consciousness across its many bodies, possessing numerous droids. As such, the Scourge could talk through multiple bodies to finish a single sentence. The Scourge needed to split its focus amongst many bodies.
The Scourge hoped to become everything in the galaxy to keep itself safe, which would allow it to finally surrender itself to the flow of memories it had taken. With every being in the galaxy a part of itself, the Scourge hoped to share the beauty of the countless memories and lifetimes it had collected with everyone as one singular mind. Deep down, however, the Scourge did not want to make everything into itself or to kill. Instead, it acted only out of its urge to "eat." The Scourge's ultimate goal was to take control of the Force. Droids, cyborgs, and humans tried to stop the Scourge. As part of its plan to take control of the Force and to understand cyborgs, the Scourge targeted the cyborg Sith Lord Darth Vader.
After the threat of the Scourge became apparent in a personal way to the rebel astromech droid R2-D2 with the infection of his best friend and counterpart C-3PO, he reassembled the D-Squad he had been been part of during the Clone Wars, including his old squad mate WAC-47, and new members consisting of the bounty hunters 4-LOM and IG-88, and the assassin droids 0-0-0 and BT-1, to combat the Scourge. Ajax Sigma was vital to stopping the Scourge. Through its experiments, the Scourge found that it could inhabit organics by transmitting itself like a heartbeat, instead of all at once, and infected the cyborgs Magna Tolvan, Lobot, and Beilert Valance. The Scourge finally mastered how to infect full organics during the Battle on Epikonia, during which it spread into Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Landonis Balthazar Calrissian, and the Force-sensitive Luke Skywalker, who the Scourge used to declare itself the new Force. However, it was at that moment that the Scourge's main body was destroyed by Sigma, destroying the Scourge's consciousness and freeing every vessel from its control.
