Space Manky

The Space Manky is a subspecies of the Manky, created specifically for exoatmospheric and aerodynamic combat. One of many inescapable sights when confronted by the onslaught of a Manky-controlled fleet, the Space Manky is ubiquitously known for it's high speed, unparalleled savagery, and impressive precision.

Space Mankies also serve as the Manky Collective's preferred method of deployment for terrestrial bombing runs due to their speed, in and out of atmospheric environments.

Space Mankies, in spite of their tactical thinking and strategic formations, are regarded as the most retarded of the various Manky subspecies.

The Space Mankies are commanded by Tangent-of-Eternal-Lasting.

Anatomy & physiology
The Space Manky is a special Manky bred for vehicular combat. Specializing in formations known as "flocks", Space Mankies are vicious in all manner of combat where they are deployed; Ship-to-ship, terrestrial, dogfights, Space Mankies excel in all. Tactically coordinated and strategic, Space Mankies are to be considered a high-priority target in any battlescape. Space Mankies, despite their excellent tactical know-how, are surprisingly among the least intelligent Manky subspecies. When repeatedly given food items such as Funyuns, watermelons, or Cactus Manky stew (A widely-loved delicacy in systems controlled by the Manky Collective), each Space Manky involved would simply stare absent-mindedly, shoot the food being given to it as well as the person giving said food, or miserably fail to eat any of it.

Space Mankies can fire searing hot plasmeme bursts from their noses, and are commonly modified with a large hangar bay utilized in terrestrial bombing runs. These bays are filled with Cactus Mankies.

History
Designed by Scrungus using stolen Memesmith blueprints for the original prototype Mankies, the Space Manky was designed to fulfill the same role it does in the Manky Collective today. When the Manky Warlords rebelled against Scrungus and took control of the Manky army, the Space Mankies were quickly assigned to the various combat roles seen today.

After Cactus Mankies were discovered to have explosive properties, modification of Space Mankies became commonplace, usually retrofitting them with hangar bays to hold Cactus Mankies to use in bombing runs.
