What would a space-faring undead civilization be like, Veeky Forums?

Assuming that they're the 'zombie virus' type of undead, rather than the 'magically reanimated' type of undead.

Reavers from Firefly.

Came here to post this.

Also the Borg are basically zombies in SPAAAACEEE!!!!!!

Don't the Reavers steal all their ships? Does that really make them qualify as space-faring?

Reavers are a bad example. They are perfectly intelligent people. They're just hyperaggresive towards outsiders. They're violent, not fucking stupid.

do they still require sustenance? Zombie eat brain, or something?

> hot topic

In the original show, they were simply people who bad been removed from civilization too long and went mad/wild while in the movie they're the result of a government experiment.

Both allow them to retain some level of higher intelligence - but they are literally fucking insane and they basically do nothing other than raid.

Read the OP again.

They're 'zombie virus' undead, so yes they need to eat. And if they're space-faring they probably retain enough intelligence to do so.
