Advanian Hivemind

"Knowledge brings strength. Strength brings unity. Unity brings peace."

Time Drive

## Overview

The Advanian Hive-mind were crystalline creatures during the 3rd reset, and were intensely isolationist. Their belief on non-interference led them to only colonizing three star systems out of fear of being noticed on the galactic scale. They spent their time researching advanced technologies including time travel and spatial compression technologies which allowed them to carry fleets in a single ship moving through Space-Time.

## History

The Advanian species descended from an earlier form, known as the Advainas in which they were able to take over the Milky way in its entirety. The Advainas were one of the several precursor species of the galaxy which managed to conquer everything. The events leading to the evolution of the Advanians would mark a horrible history for them, and was the driving reason to research temporal technologies. After being stuck aboard temporally locked stations for nearly 3 billion years the Advanians would settle into a new home where they stayed to themselves, ignoring those around them to a large extent.

## Society

The Advanians were a hive mind society, allowing a single thought to be transmitted through the collective instantly. The primary minds were the queens, which controlled most of the society. In total 4,000 queens were alive at any one time, which made higher thinking possible at very high speeds. In addition regular drones had individual thoughts that were transmitted through the collective which allowed for quick response to problems and individual problem solving should the hive mind be disconnected.

## Achievements

The Advanian Hive Mind became one of the few species known to posses time travel technology. Their ability to manipulate time and space to their will made them an able species of great power. However, shortly after its construction they discovered the affects of time altering on a galaxy, and decided to become the self proclaimed protectors of all of time and space.

Another great technological achievement of the Advanians would be their spatial compression technology which allowed a single ship to carry entire fleets of vessels. This technology was widely used on stations, and small ships to allow something small to carry the firepower of something three times the size.

Their most powerful technology, par time travel, would be the Transphasic Energy Lance. This weapon would fire a massive bolt of energy that could bypass shields and arc between ships using energy from that explosion to power the jump to the next ship along. This weapon allowed the dreadnought on which it was installed to become one of the deadliest in the time line.

## Navy

The Advanian navy never grew larger than 200 vessels, however their ship classes became known to time travelers as some of the most powerful ever developed. A single dreadnought could carry the entire navy and destroy an entire navy in just a few shots thanks to the Transphasic Energy Lance.

Thanks to spatial compression technology, many of their smallest vessels were capable of carrying much larger and powerful weapons than their regular counterparts that lack the compression technology. This allowed their vessels to outmatch even ships double their size.
