[[WMG: The Vasari enemy is... the Vasari]]
All the Vasari we know are from a single colony that lost contact. As it happened, it wasn't some EldritchAbomination, but rather a coup d'etat using new weapons, including one that can drive enemy ships insane. By now, the rebels have taken over, and soon the Vasari Empire will arrive.

***** I was thinking the whole "one ship left, heavily damaged and driven mad" sounded pretty Chaotic. One must wonder if the remaining ship had its captain shouting ++++KILLFRENZY KILLFRENZY KILLFRENZY KILLFRENZY KILLFRENZY++++ endlessly into the comms. Given the Vasari are all about slavery and control, though, they're not especially Chaotic. They're actually more like the Imperium. However, they have a mastery of phase space - basically, the Warp. Perhaps Tzeentch had something go JustAsPlanned?

**** Now, this is a late entry, but given the timeline for these posts, it's pretty clear that at *least* this is obsolete, and the above Troper *seriously* underestimated the power the Reapers are capable of. Especially given the time lapse involving at *least* Mass Effect 3 coming out which shows that the Citadel races *aren't* exactly limited to a collective BSOD. It also plays up the Eldritch part of them. Yes, a setting featuring massive numbers of massive spaceships means that huge sentient capital ships aren't outside of reality as the Citadel species understand it, but the Reapers do *plenty* more than just that. Are the Readers the Vasari's enemy? No, not really for obvious reasons. But their MO is a lot more powerful than *just* being really old, really sentient, really big star ships.

The Imperium of Man lost what is currently known as the TEC during the Age of Strife, and has come to reclaim them, killing the Xenos Vasari with a vengeance. The Angry Marines had a fratparty on a Vasari warship, causing insanity from the horrors within.

SinsOfASolarEmpire is the future of the DeadSpace universe. A branch of the Unitologists have become the Advent, and the Vasari enemy isn't one unified force, rather it's a combination of Marker-induced madness and necromorph outbreaks.

[[WMG: The Vasari enemy isnt an enemy at all, but a Vacuum Metastability Event]]
The Vasari were toying around with phase inhibitors or nano-engineering spacetime and they accidentaly caused a metastability. This universe has phase space, so it may very well be expanding faster than light using that. What can drive a race capable of enslaving anything in the universe mad? The unstoppable approach of a new universe where all the fundamental laws of reality are rewritten and everything that once was is unmade.

[[WMG: The Vasari enemy is corrupting the Advent.]]
They know the Vasari will run away if they get close so they're trying to twist the TEC and the Advent into finishing their job for them. While they don't need to manipulate the TEC since the Vasari are invading their space and the TEC is already defending, the Advent need a little 'help' to act how the Enemy wants. This is what caused the Unity to fracture - The 'Loyalists' are being corrupted by the Enemy while the Rebels, realizing this on some level, are trying to get back to what the Advent used to be.

* Think about it. Subspace functions similarly to Phasespace (minus the wormholes), and the Vasari and Ancients both developed the means to travel through Phasespace and Subspace, respectively. Also, the Vasari had conquered and enslaved other less-advanced races just as the Ancients did. Perhaps the Vasari were refugees that had escaped the Shivan incursion and fled to the Inner Ring of the galaxy. They had developed Phasespace technology possibly because they had lost Subspace capabilities. The fall of their empire was probably because of a Shivan fleet that had tracked them to where they had fled, and it is the Shivans that have forced them into a nomadic state.

**** I'm not taking these ''particularly'' seriously, obviously, but as attempt number 3, I can think of a force of nature capable of driving its opponents into a frenzy with fear: the Oncoming Storm. Or the Doctor to his friends. While in recent episodes of DoctorWho he's viewed with almost supernatural fear by some of his enemies, it's implied by River Song that he'll grow still more terrifying to them as he continues to battle the evils of the universe.
