The Sanacha are the remains of those drained of life force by planar entities. These creatures inhabit the decayed corpses of spacers & lie in wait for the hapless to encounter them. They not only hunger for the flesh of the living but exist as negative planar entities outside the normal space time matrix. The rate of decay & decomposition is slowed down by their presence.
  Many scientists often keep on or more of these creatures to help slow the rate of decay around certain super science items or artifacts. The Sanacha hate the living with a vengeance & will take any opportunity to snipe anyone who gets within grasp.
Unlike zombies & other abnormal undead the Sanacha exist in a state of unreasoning hatred & which resembles their old personalities. Many blood relations & family fall prey to these creatures who play on familiar ties to feed their ceaseless hunger.
 The Sanacha feed by draining with a molecular  degeneration attack which hits constitution directly followed by most of the major attributes. The drain is 1d6 points per round unless a save vs death is made. A bite & tearing attack is made the next round to transfer the virus that contains the seeds of these creatures.
The target will die & raise itself with in 1d4 hours as the negative energy super charges the corpse & throws the system into over drive. The body will lose mass & muscle until the monster is born.
These creatures once fed can pass for the living for 1d20 days as long as they consumed the entire corpse of their last meal. The foul rites they perform to their gods of the outer darkness enable them to resemble the living unless a special skill roll is made.  They often use this disguise to pass among the living to get to better food supplies with space faring communities.
 The Sanacha may also place themselves within a death like state for 1d20 years until a living target comes within grasp. They even have a longer sleeping like state but this uses far more energy & they are often ravenous upon awaking.
They are also know as the Offspring From Udhosts from the system where they were first encountered. The priests of 
Udhosts often use several of these undead upon leases to track down prisoners or slaves. It is said that the Sanacha are the real masters of the planet & allow the priests their little indulgences
