Planet Eaters

The "Planet Eaters" are an alien race that consists of a vast array of different species linked by a small number of Hive Minds. Individual Eaters are unintelligent, however the Hive Minds are believed to be intelligent and even possess sentience, although little is known about them. Their origin is unknown but several Hives have launched attacks, for want of a better word, on the galaxy, the most powerful of which being a massive, organic structure which is currently travelling South Westerly through Delta Pact and Omega Pact space, trailing massive hordes of space borne Eaters, which in turn carry many smaller creatures, which have invaded countless worlds and present a great threat to the DOIA factions.
