Mycon

The Mycon
The Mycon are a race of fungus-like creatures with a tendency to terraform life-planets, turning them into volcanic wastelands capable of producing more Mycon. They represent a massive threat to life.

Recent History
When the Ur-Quan fell back, the Mycon became a neutral race. However, a few years later, the Mycon abruptly began moving in the direction of the Ur-Quan fleet, and officially rejoined the Hierarchy. Days after settling in a new star system next to the Ur-Quan, the Kohr-Ah attacked.

The Mycon have been repeatedly attacked by the Supox, who feel personally obligated to destroy the Mycon and end their nefarious schemes. This has but delayed the Mycon's constant expansion.

Annihilation of the Mmrnmhrm
The Mmrnmhrm, in April 2118, arrive nearby Mycon space. The Mycon then suddenly attack them, their vastly superior numbers shredding the Mmrnmhrm fleet. This is avoidable, however, if the Captain orchestrates the destruction of the burgeoning Mycon fleet.

Halting the Mycon Expansion
The only way to cut off the Mycon's growth is by getting the Utwig, Zapfladfaf, and the Supox to jointly attack the Mycon. This can only happen if the player repairs the Ultron. The three races then launch an attack, cutting the Mycon down to a fourth of its original size in two months. This fleet then limps into Ur-Quan space. Should the Mmrnmhrm pass by the area, the Mycon will do nothing to stop them.
