East Baiameans

Not to be confused with Deshretis, whom are also occasionally known as 'Baiameans'.
East Baiameans are a species of intelligant eusocial insects which inhabit far-eastern Theia. They are a caste-based species separated by positions of drones and warriors, East Baiameans were born into hives with each led by a queen. The queen lays eggs for the hives and provides orders to the public leaders of the Karina Dynasty. East Baiamean queens reside underground in the bastions of the Karina Dynasty. From here, they command an army's worth of East Baiamean drones. 
Drones were capable of becoming warriors if they proved themselves worthy in combat. The Warriors have wings and a thick exoskeleton, and they are dedicated to warfare. Among East Baiamean broods, the alpha is the "commander". East Baiameans also have two sets of mandibles, outer and inner, which they used to gesture. 
East Baiameans are not as intelligent as most species. Their queens have about the same intelligence as a typical Iujado while the drones only class as semi-sentient.
=== History ===
It is unknown how East Baiameans evolved on ancient Theia, as they are genetically distinct from all known surviving Theian species, hinting at a possible past of coming from a nearby planet or another planet within Theia's System. Despite this they were devoted to the god PilirinThough they were not the sole worshippers, as the Deshreti Species inhabiting the western parts of Baiame also worshipped Pilirin..
When Theia became a rogue planet they hid in underground bastions for many centuries. They eventually emerged after a large hurricane destroyed many of the bastions in 175. Many of the bastions united under the Stalgasin Bastion to form the Karina Dynasty where 85% of Baiameans live.
