The Swarm

The swarm are a species of formally extraterrestrial insects that consist of the sentient Vespian Cast and a number of non sentient Castes. Originating from the briefly lived lantern moon those that survived it's destruction where scattered across Galbar.
== Casts ==
=== Queens ===
Giant egg production factories that are the mothers to the swarm. hives generally only have a few of these. They are capable of flight, allowing them to establish new nests or evacuate/move existing ones, but spend most of their lives in brood chambers.
=== Vespian ===
Mortals who 'lead' the swarm, or at least attempt to steer it to intelligent designs. how much console they have varies from hive to hive based both on the culture of the hive and the genetic disposition of it's queens
=== Swarmers ===
The smallest an often most numerous of the swarm, swarmers are about the size of house cats, but they can fly, are covered in tough armor, have large scything talons and venom injecting stingers that are painful individually and lethal in large doses.
=== Hive Guards ===
large as hippos and even more dangerous, guards patrol the hives of the Swarm and fend off intruders using sprays of acid from their abdomens. They also use this acid for waste disposal.
=== Hive Crawlers ===
Giant borrowing centipedes roughly 10 meters long. They excavate subterranean borrows for hive building, but are also a terror on the surface, able to tare though or trample anything that moves. most hives will have at most a half dozen of these titans due to their intense resource requiremnts
