Term used to describe the Wraith's systematic capture of humans for later feeding. When a population reaches a critical mass or must simply be terrorized to be kept in line, the Wraith arrive, often in Dart ships, to pick from the human "herd" with culling beams for the species' nourishment.
The captured are returned to the hive ship, where some victims are fed upon while others are put into cocoons in semi-conscious states to preserve them for later feeding.
Wraith Darts use a culling beam to transport victims aboard. Foot soldiers use stun rifles to immobilize their prey without damaging them.
