Aside from the fact that these guys sound suspiciously similar to the Borg, don't we have enough of this kind of species already? We already have the Harvesters and the Eruption, so what niche do they fill?

Secondly, why do they need to assimilate other species in the first place? Don't the Maelstrom have more than enough people of their own to choose from?
