Minus any negative connotations, how it can work is somewhat like a virus. The core program goes out, infects other bodies, and those bodies become used to proliferate the spread further. Like a nuclear chain reaction. The conquerers/spreaders are like the virus that has the instructions - provide the process for recruitment, social management structure, and resupply and growth of armed forces. The colonies are like the cells whose material and processes get hijacked/taken over by the virus.
