During their journeys through the Deep Space the Metal Lord fleets have came to witness many beautiful and terrible things. None were as terrible and monstrous as creatures they came to call "The Deep Ones". While to organics the Deep Ones are nothing but a rumor, a fairy tale to scare naughty children, the Metal Lords know the truth, for in their wandering, in the darkest region of space where even the starlight doesn't reach, they came upon foul armadas of grotesque ships of flesh and metal mixed together. Abominable ships in appearance of giant nautiloids with spiral shells like durasteel hulls, whipping drives in shapes of tentacles, spewing forth rays of plasma and acid.

Aboard their ships droids found strange creatures in flowing dark robes, thin sickly bodies, and slick faces from which extended long pale tentacles. These beings usually move in small groups, with each Deep One commanding at least one ship of his own, crewed by throngs of brain washed and enchanted organic slaves like some sort of twisted parody of the Droid Lords. The beings seem to be highly capable in psychic abilities, with a degree of telekinesis being present among all of their members, to make matters worse on rare occasion one of the Deep Ones have shown to have abilities within the Force. However, for all their psychic might and sorcery, their abilities seem to be mostly useless against the Metal Lords whose minds, as mechanical constructs, cannot be affected by them. So the droids begun to wage a secret war against these abominations in the deepest expanses of uncharted space, spurred on by the Sparklords, to keep the threat in check before it grows too large, too powerful.

For there is still very little known about these beings, for example whether they even have a homeworld or permanent bases, but the spacers' fairy tales that described them did get one thing right, wherever the dark fleets of the Deep Ones would pass, one could easily find barren worlds and abandoned ships, their crew and population missing without a trace, well perhaps outside of occasional splatter of brain matter.
