Dark Ones:
The Dark Ones are the other side of the coin of the Progenitors. They are the dark to their light and while they are hurt by their hyperspace, their dark tendrils and dark attacks hurt the Progenitors equally. Progenitor males are typically very tall, bulky and extremely powerful while the females are on the smaller side and more agile and capable in other ways.
The males are usually on the top of the pecking in order and use the females as breeding tools to get more Dark Ones, since the Dark Ones are just wild creatures that work to take over and destroy. At least the low level Dark Ones. The "military" as you would have it are just there to fight and use their baser instincts - be wild, procreate, and revel in your emotions, unlike the Progenitors.
However, the higher Dark Ones are more crafty and think and plot and are the dangerous ones. They can be male or female and have immense power. In the past they have made up plots that have nearly taken over the galaxy, making soul wells that used the bodies of dead allies, brought about a galactic war, and pushed the galaxy to the brink.
High Level Dark Ones are typically males, but there some females among the ranks that have risen up. Their powers sometimes gulf that of Progenitors with their ability to do things that seem nearly godlike. They can use tendrils, open black holes, shadow port, and more. Some Dark Ones, though it is very rare.
We have seen recently among the Dark Ones the creation of the Homonculus which appear to be extremely powerful. These are what Andrea (Billy) belongs to and her family now spring from. The power of the Homoncli Dark Ones add another layer to the Dark Ones and their power scale, especially since Andrea has shown she can share her power with others such as Charlotte.
Dark Ones are capable of dabbling quite well in the Dark Arts and magics.

Full Dark Ones Stat Boost Bonus: +4 Strength, +4 Willpower, +2 Intelligence
Half-Dark Ones Stat Boost Choices: +2 Strength, +2 Willpower, +1 Intelligence
Racial Ability A: Black Hole: The Dark One is capable of forming a black hole from their powers that will begin to suck in everything in the area - ally and enemy alike. This will serve to not only pin the enemy (and allies), but draw them in.
Racial Ability B: Surge: The Darkness can double two of their stats of their choosing for a brief time, allowing them to go on a rampage. Afterward they will wear down and need to recover.
Racial Ability C: Tail Darkness: The tail can become one with the darkness, striking from the shadows and strangling and catching targets from any directions like the Dark One's limbs.
Racial Ability D: Mystic Nature: This allows the Dark One to commune with spirits, mystical beings, and darker arts, shielding them from things that might attempt to invade their soul due to their tolerance to it already. The Dark One will have an insight to beings of a darker nature and see things that others might not as long as it falls on the darker spectrum.
