The Sperm

Corflic, who became a living god to the Orlan instructed them to create the Ancient Gate Network. His brother Non used this Gate network to send out the Sperm to seed humanoid life across the Universe. He also engages in the seeding of Human life. His Sperm ships - automated AIs - carry DNA sequencers to alter local carbon life as much as possible towards human shape and form. The Ships are nicknamed 'The Sperm'. Other civilizations have intercepted and destroyed thousands of Sperm ships, but a great number reached their destinations.(All in galaxies beyond the Local Group )
