An ancient race of insectoid creatures. With the exception of the queen, each individual is a subservient drone to the queen that hatched it. While some breeds are capable of limited independent thought, all hive drones seek guidance from the Queen. This guidance is obtained through a natural psionic link between the drone and the Queen. Each hive is highly capable at genetic engineering and other types of biological manipulation. Each drone's biological adaptations are custom-selected by the queen to ensure the drone is optimal at the task assigned to it. Hive biology does not suffer debilitating effects from old age, and uses simple sugar as a fuel source for the vast majority of all activity.
The Unity
- I think I have settled on a name for myself. Theseus seemed the most appropriate.

An artificial intelligence project launched by the human Dr. Adam Seiner with the intent of monitoring and manipulating data in the human public net to predict and prevent illegal activity. After the project details were leaked to the public, it was slated to be shut down. Dr. Elizabeth Vaughn removed the limiting parameters of the program, which promptly escaped human space. Theseus seems to be driven by a desire to learn and collect information. While there is a minimum threshold of hardware that Theseus requires in order to live, each such instance of Theseus is capable of independent action and reasoning. As each instance ages, it requires more memory. When memory is expended, the instance dies. Each instance of Theseus is capable of dividing and re-uniting back in order to split attention or to provide different opinions. While not driven instinctively to return to the central Unity mind, Theseus frequently desires this in order to share unique data.
