The Ghouls are obsessed with prolonging their life through regeneration, while retaining their Necron disease. It allows them superhuman resilience, and is important to their culture. They abduct young specimens and treat them to any imaginable abuse, to test various regenerative solutions. To finance their scientific pursuits, they provide organ transplants to Academicians who start developing resistance to the Stellar Empire's Longevity Serum, or cannot afford it at all. The organs are viciously harvested from Ghoul captives. We've gained some new inroads into the Academy's organization, while Ghoul medical data can be useful to our own research.
