I mean, there are bacteria that can survive being space. There's really no justification as to why Protoss need to absorb light. | ||

However, even if there are bacterias that can survive space i doubt the ability for such organisms to create a whole race capable of reproducing in space and navigating the stars. The existance of such an entity is infinitely more unlikely than a thinking walking plant. | ||

Now, how they go from a near vacuum (would they even get that far?) to an almost complete one I'm not sure, but I think there'd have to be a very gradual change from a land dwelling species, to flying, to flying higher, to vacuum. This still seems highly unlikely, but this would solve how they acquire food to some extent and come about in the first place. The whole wandering space faring species that Blizzard portrays seems inane, given the sheer distances (even with wormholes) they'd have to travel the chance of them wandering past the Zerg homeworld seems small. And then there's the whole food issue again. | ||

From http://www.battle.net/scc/zerg/units/mutalisk.shtml: Frankly, the Mutalisk is an enigma. It is not known how they are capable of maneuvering through a vacuum, or even of controlled flight within an atmosphere, but they have been able to stand toe-to-toe (so to speak) against Wraith fighters along the Coreward border worlds. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Random Off topic comment] + but, blizzard never was very good with their lore, well warcraft lore was pretty good, except for some WoW updates I don't wanna try and change the subject but was anyone active on the blizz forums when they introduced horde paladins and got weeks and weeks of lore fanatics bashing blizzard? | ||

Mutalisks hold a large number of vacuoles filled with Vespene inside their bodies, allowing them to float. For high-speed flight, they rely on an organic ramjet engine. The latter cannot operate while the creature is static, so wings provide initial propulsion. In vacuum, Mutalisks switch to "turbojet" mode, with the no longer needed Vespene providing fuel. Fuck scientists, they should hire me.  | ||
