Introduction
The Abhorred, named so by marines who first came into conflict with the species, are a race of advanced yet resource-deprived aliens, possessing small amounts of territory in little-known space. Their government is of a matriarchal design, with rulers as part of families, and the species as a whole is not united; multiple different "clans" exist throughout Abhorred controlled space.

Discovery
First discovered by UNSC expeditionary forces in 2554, the Abhorred proved to be an extremely aggresive, predatory race. However, due to their lack of resources, and the sheer minority of them, further investigation of the species was put off until later.

Cannibalizing of Corpses
On the battlefield, Abhorred warriors were noticed to eat dead corpses for nourishment; whether they be of their own troops or otherwise. This is most likely to to their lack of readily available food.

Limb Replacement
Due to advanced technology at their disposal, Abhorred warriors were able to "stitch" together parts of limbs and other required parts from dead bodies. This provided for troops that were harder to permanently kill, as parts were readily available.

Continued Use of Strength and Durability Enhancing Drugs
During combat, Abhorred warriors would inject massive doses of strength, durability, speed, and/or reaction enhancing drugs. Although this caused many deformations among troops, the short bursts of phenomenal strength and seeming invulnerability to pain served to both greatly lower morale of enemy soldiers, as well as provide for tougher warriors.

Physical Features
It is truly unknown how the original race looked like, as massive doses of drugs and limb replacement, as well as cybernetics have greatly deformed and altered the creatures' appearance. However, they all share a stitched-together look, as well as cybernetically-enhanced bodies. For the most part, the creatures look grotesque.
