The Wraith are a species of humanoid sapients native to the Pegasus Galaxy.
History
The Wraith are a fairly new species. They arose from a predatory insectoid creature native to the Pegasus galaxy -- known as the Iratus Bug -- that fed off human beings. Somehow, a sort of hybridization between the Iratus Bug and the Humans it preyed upon gave rise to the Wraith.
Their feeding habbits brought them into conflict with the Established Ancients and eventually brought the two groups to war, which the wraith eventually won by attrition.
Attributes

A primary attribute of the Wraith is the need to feed. Every few months an adult Wraith needs to feed off a human being. This is done by applying their specialized hand to the victim's torso and draining the "life" out of them. This results in accelerated aging and can easily be fatal. It also allows a deep probing of the mind of the person they feed off of. Adult Wraith have digestive tracts and can eat regular food, but they require no other food beyond human Life-force.
