Kalith

== Race Name ==
Kalith (Singular) Kaliths (Plural) 
== Homeworld ==
Alpha quardrant, near cardasian space 
== Race Background ==
Long time neighbors of the cardasians they held out indepandance via their expertise in defensive and trench warfare. The race uses bio mechanicl devices, their ships are tehcnically massive cyborgs. With some parts being made of organs and other organic matter, while the majority is still normal. The race is naturally devided, each queen careing for her colony above all. The federation had been aware of them longer but only had contact shortly before the Dominion war. Where a newly matured Queen had selected a M class world within Federation space as her new home, hostilites were short but the federation lost 20 personel while reportedly only 3 warriors of the Kalith were lost. Peace was negotiated and the colony was moved to the border of federation space. Since then at random intervals lone idaviduals will approach the federation for a home and sometimes service in starfleet. 
== Physical Traits ==
The Kalith are insectoids, they contain both internal bones and an exo skeleton. The race naturally lives in large hive comunites, they feel unease at the ideas of democracy and free will, being much more at ease when given clear and direct orders. Most are hesitant or flat our fearful of making their own choices without being in a position of leadership. 
Males are wingless. Some castes differ, such as warriors having sharper exo skeltons and higher adrenaline levels. Workers are far more durable and the race as a whole can survive loss of limbs much easier than most. Only special indaviduals are capable of reproduction, most are born sterile unless tended to by queens since birth. 
== Procreation Type ==
Queens will lay large amounts of eggs with a caste of fertilized males providing constant "Gentic meterial" for her.
