Valtor collective

The Valtor Collective is a powerful hive nation that has consumed any resource in its path, leaving behind a trail of destruction and devastation. Led by their indomitable Queen, Valtor Conqueror of Suns, the Valtor Collective has grown to become one of the most feared factions in the known universe. Their massive Hive ship, the VC-1, serves as both their mobile base of operations and their primary weapon, capable of decimating entire fleets with its overwhelming firepower.

The Valtor Collective's military might is augmented by their vast drone army, composed of a variety of specialized castes that perform a range of different duties. The Warrior caste serves as the frontline troops, while the Builder caste constructs the Valtor Collective's infrastructure and ships. The Scout caste is responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, and the Harvester caste extracts resources from planets and other celestial bodies. The Queen is protected by her loyal and powerful bodyguard, the Valtorian Praetorians, who will stop at nothing to defend their Queen until the bitter end.

With their advanced technology, powerful weaponry, and unstoppable drive to consume and expand, the Valtor Collective is a force to be reckoned with, one that strikes fear into the hearts of all who oppose them.

## Background

The war that ended the Xylar species was a devastating conflict that lasted for generations. It began when the Xylars first encountered a neighboring species known as the Vormulians. At first, the two species coexisted peacefully, trading goods and sharing knowledge. However, as time went on, tensions began to rise.

The Vormulians, who were a technologically advanced species, became envious of the Xylars' natural abilities, such as their innate ability to tunnel through rock and earth. The Vormulians saw the Xylars as a threat to their own dominance and began to attack their settlements.

The Xylars, caught off guard by the sudden aggression, quickly mobilized their own forces to defend themselves. However, the Vormulians' superior technology proved to be too much for the Xylars to handle. Over the course of the war, the Xylar population was decimated, with their settlements destroyed and their resources depleted.

Vala the Great, the high queen of the Xylars, fought valiantly alongside her people, but in the end, even her leadership could not save them. The war ultimately ended with the total annihilation of the Xylar species, leaving Valtor as the last surviving member of her kind.

Valtor, being the last remaining Queen of the Xylar species, was forced to roam the universe alone after the decimation of her kind. She was unable to reproduce due to not having mated on her home planet, leaving her species unable to be reborn. The VC-1 was empty and abandoned until the discovery of the queen's chamber by a ship from the Valkarie Legion.

Upon discovering Valtor, the soldiers from the Valkarie Legion attacked her, injuring her in the process. However, Valtor was able to use their genetic information to lay larvae that developed into the Valtorian Praetorians, also known as the Protectors. These drones became Valtor's loyal bodyguards, serving and protecting her at all costs.

Valtor, now with a new army, set out to explore the universe and continue her mission of consuming resources and expanding her hive. She encountered many other species along the way, some of which she consumed, while others she saw as potential allies.

Despite her immense power and resources, Valtor remained cautious and paranoid, always on the lookout for potential threats to her hive. She knew that she was the last of her kind and that any threat to her could mean the end of her entire species.

As the Valtor Collective continued to expand, they came across a small colony of gatherers on a remote planet in the Peleus galaxy. The gatherers were a peaceful people who lived off the land and had no means of defending themselves. Valtor saw them as a prime target for consumption, and sent in her protectors to subdue the colony.

The protectors quickly overran the gatherers, using their advanced weaponry and tactics to overpower them. Once the colony was secured, Valtor ordered the construction of a special egg chamber to house the tens of thousands of eggs that she would lay in the bodies of the consumed gatherers.

Over time, the eggs hatched and the newly born worker drones emerged. They were quickly put to work, building structures and harvesting resources to fuel the growing Valtor Collective. These worker drones were the backbone of the hive, carrying out Valtor's will and ensuring the continued growth and expansion of the collective.

## Heirarchy

Rough hierarchy for the Valtor Collective:

1. High Queen Valtor Conqueror of Suns - Leader of the Valtor Collective and the last surviving member of her species. She is the ultimate authority and decision maker for the hive.
2. Protector Commanders - The protectors are the personal bodyguards of the Queen and serve as the elite fighting force of the Valtor Collective. The Protector Commanders are the highest-ranking protectors and serve as the Queen's closest advisors.
3. Caste Leaders - Each of the four castes (warrior, worker, scout, and harvester) have their own leader who oversees the day-to-day operations of their caste. They report directly to the Queen and are responsible for ensuring that their caste is fulfilling its duties.
4. Drone Commanders - The drone commanders are responsible for coordinating the actions of the individual drones in their respective castes. They are highly intelligent and can think and act independently when necessary.
5. Individual Drones - The individual drones make up the bulk of the Valtor military and workforce. They are divided into four castes: warrior drones, worker drones, scout drones, and harvester drones. Each caste has its own specific duties and responsibilities.
