The Parasite

The Parasite commonly known by other names as The Devil's Plague, The Flood, The Destroyer Of Worlds, The Infection or The Hive are a species of highly virulent parasitic organisms that can reproduce and grow by consuming sentient life forms of sufficient biomass and cognitive capability. The Parasite presents the most variable faction in the trilogy, as it can infect and mutate most "Living Species", changing it into their own kind. It is regarded as the most dangerous thing ever encountered in the history of the Galaxy, more dangerous than the Rakgoul Plague, the Sith and even The Ones.

History & Origins
The Parasite was responsible for consuming most of the sentient life in the galaxy over 100,000 years ago.

The Parasite caused the Great War against the Parasite in which the First Galactic Republic fought to stop the parasite from spreading around the Galaxy.

They were successful in destroying the Parasite with the help of the Jedi and also the Jedaai (Would become The Sith). Once most of the Parasite were thought to have been destroyed, the remainders of the Parasite spores were placed into Ancient Republic research labs where they attempted to trace back their origin and to this day no one knows what created them, they weren’t created by the Sith nor The Jedi, nor any faction for that matter, their origin is completely unknown. The Parasite have remained dormant for thousands of years, but will they continue to remain hidden away, will someone or something release them again bringing havoc to the Galaxy.
