The Cosmic Titans 
They crawl among the stars in space craft & on cosmically hungry tentacles. They are cosmically powered horror incarnate. The Cosmic titans are random planar spawn born between the time of the current big bang & the awakening of the Great Old Ones. They have names like Typhoon, Archimedes, That Which Dwells Among The Stars. Some believe that they are the stray thoughts of cosmic violence of Azathoth himself given form. A dream of violence & cosmic futility given form & function. They are hungry & where they stride planets fall to them. 
After satisfying these carnal cosmic hungers they move on leaving nothing behind but ruins, cosmic parasites that feed on their energies, chaotic energies that induce mutation, insanity, & far worse. They also leave behind the flotsam & jetsam of worlds.Alien artifacts, relics from bygone ages & far far worse things that inhabit the Spaces In Between.
Around them floats devastated magic from cracked biospheres,ghostly alien hordes that cry out for vengeance where there is none. Around the places they have strode become reefs in space for interstellar dragons, asteroid worms,& minor cosmic vortex elementals. 
Other Cosmic beings sometimes follow in their wake. One group the Stewards gathers flocks of survivors preaching a sort of religion based on the salvation of destruction via whole sale prices.  
Some mercenary outfits specialize in just this sort of plunder. The ventures are high risk, high mortality, & bust or boon missions. There are no middle grounds with these so called Vulture outfits. They resemble space pirates more then mercs. Their reputations are low at best
