[edit]
Devouring Worm Torpedo
Our largest example of specially engineered lifeforms is represented in this weapons system. A breeding stock of teethed worms is used to grow these creatures that are specially adapted for surviving the vacuum of space, and for consuming common spaceship materials. The worm's skin is lined with small cilia which aid in locomotion in the launch tube. The worm however has poor senses and thus can only detect large craft, but once it does there is nothing to stop it from latching on to the hull and taking a healthy bite out the target.
