You have the power of necromancy

The Warpish may be zapped after pods are played and when the totals are calculated (when it's art becomes animated). Depending on what other powers are used in the game, it may be best to not zap Warpish but instead wait until it is your turn and play the Mobius Tubes, if you have this pod.

 From the dark side of the Cosmos, we Warpish come to assimilate all other alien races into our perfect form. Fortunately, there are many non-believing infidels in the Cosmos for us to convert to our necromantic beliefs. Regardless of how feeble or how powerful these other races are, they must all find their place in the Warp. We must bring about mass destruction in the Cosmos, call for deals to be broken, encourage the Vacuum to use it's power and ally ourselves with the outnumbered so that a loss on either side will heave quite an adequate pulp into the Warp.

 There is no place in the Cosmos more dark and gloomy than the Warp. Try to intentionally lose on occasion and take sanctuary in the comfort of the Warp. Be sure not to lose too many of our ships or we lose our power and become as inferior as the other alien races.

 Whenever the inferior races call upon us for alliances, we should send as many ships as possible to accomplish our goals. Not that we require their insignificant assistance but because that which does kill us, only makes us stronger.

 Take whatever measures are needed to prevail when our enemies such as the Void and the Zombie seem to exist only to diminish our supremacy. We must also be careful not to over-indulge ourselves when the race of Anti-Matters or Losers make themselves present in a nearby system. Though they still be inferior races, they can be quite nuisances if not handled with care.

 All through the eons of time the one thing the Warpish hate most is the dreaded Mobius Tubes! We currently have no strategy formulated to save us from this repulsive artifact. It severely saps our strength; it is the bane of the Warpish. There is presently no known way to avoid this catastrophic horror but we are working on it. Perhaps some kind of "Artifact Zap" could save us from this terrible device.

 The Warpish are a race of specter-like necromancers. They thrive on the ashes of destruction, the deaths of forgotten memories and the ectoplasmic slime of all scum in the Cosmos. Seeing all other alien races turned to the dark side of the Cosmos is the goal of the Warpish. Try to keep the Warp as empty as possible when dealing with them. Use ships sparingly and form alliances with the Warpish as little as possible.

 Try to end the game as quickly as possible before the Warp gets too full unless you're the Warrior or another race that becomes greater in the longer games. Other races such as the Virus, the Anti-Matter and the Losers usually have no worries against the Warpish.

 Like a wildfire, the Warpish continue to spread until the entire Cosmos becomes one big Warp. However, the holy artifact known as the Mobius Tubes will bring the Warpish to their knees instantly. There are usually two of these present in a game, If you're lucky enough to possess such a weapon, take great care not to lose it due to Plagues, compensation and especially to the Warpish!
