Nidiir Kindergartens

Nidiiran Kindergartens function as specialized facilities dedicated to the creation of new generations of Nidiir through the utilization of titanic and advanced biomechanical apparatus known as Injectors.
== Overview ==
=== Purpose ===
For the purpose of expanding the territories of a Kinship, the Mun'kirr, with their discerning eye for resource-rich domains, designate planets as suitable candidates for colonization. Subsequent to this selection process, the chosen planets undergo the establishment of Nidiiran Kindergartens.
The sites for these Kindergartens are primarily determined by the mineral composition of different regions. Locations endowed with abundant resources result in the generation of standard Nidiir individuals, while areas characterized by scarcer materials yield Nidiir bearing defects or mutations.
Once a suitable location is identified, the Nidiir initiate a transformative process to prepare the area for the installation of Injectors on the surfaces. As the term suggests, Injectors are instrumental in the implantation of amniotic goo infused with Nidiir Seed-Eggs into available recesses on the wall's surface. Following implantation, the eggs secure themselves deeply and harness the geothermal heat of the planet's core to facilitate their growth and maturation. In the course of development, a Nidiir gradually forms its distinct gem-like Kin-Stone and a partially formed stony exoskeleton along its segmented structure. Ultimately, the fully grown Nidiir emerges from the wall, leaving an exit aperture in its wake.
=== Variables Which Alter Nidiirs ===
There are many variables which alter a Nidiir's appearance when they emerge from a Kindergarten:
* Prolonged incubation: If a Nidiir remains incubating in the ground longer than they are supposed to be, they will emerge shorter than they are supposed to be. Amethyst is a notable example of this.
* Material in surrounding area: Certain spots where goo is inserted into the planet may be made of different material than other areas of the Kindergarten. This can cause a Nidiir's physical form to have certain characteristics. For example, Peridot was able to tell that Amethyst Facet-5 Cut-8XJ had curly hair based on the iron deposits in her exit hole. 
* Geography: The Beta Kindergarten was set up in a location where there were lumpy hills made of sandstone. Because Homeworld did not take the time to properly alter the geography to their needs, Nidiirs emerging from the deformed land came out defective. Only Jasper came out properly because of the frictional rock melt and glass located at her exit hole.
=== Consequences ===
The establishment of a Kindergarten exerts a subtle yet significant drain on the ambient geothermal heat and energy of its environs. As these biotechnological facilities take root and flourish, the very life force and warmth of the surroundings are gradually siphoned.
As a colony takes shape, marked by the widespread deployment of numerous Kindergartens across the planet's expanse, an unforeseen consequence begins to unfurl. The cumulative effect of these proliferating facilities culminates in a substantial reduction of the planet's temperature. Over time, the thermal equilibrium of the planetary ecosystem undergoes a profound alteration, resulting in a substantial and perceptible drop in temperature that reverberates globally.
