Ghilliam

Ghilliam are human mutants caused by irradiated or polluted voidship decks. Looking like sickly and crazed men, they are furtive scavengers with a pack mentality.^[1]

Whether outcast, victim or fugitive, to become a Ghilliam is to leave humanity forever, descending to depths from which there is no return. Haunting the dark spaces and abandoned holds of great vessels, these debased, insane mutants are carrion eaters that subsist on whatever meat they can find and aren't too picky as to how they get it. They are dangerous and clever vermin and are exterminated mercilessly whenever possible.^[2]
