Swarm of Alien Creatures

Description

Multiple alien entities similar to the vacuum-resilient creature attached to the Enterprise's hull form the Swarm of Alien Creatures. They emerge coordinately from the asteroid field and advance toward the starship, detected by sensors as just ten minutes away. This unified antagonist force overwhelms the ship's two-second phaser limit on auxiliary power, shifting the crisis from containment to imminent survival confrontation.
