Bump and too late?

Name: Er'arktis Hive Species:Arthropoid Advantages: 1. Extremely durable physiology,highly resistant to both physical and biological damage. 2. Incredibly dexterous physically, they possess immense strength and speed. Disadvantages: 1. Specifically adapted biology, they can not survive outside of their home planets unique atmosphere.therefore require specialised equipment to protect themselves in alien environments. Must also maintain said atmospheric conditions within their vessels. 2. Incredibly sensitive to high levels of light. Due to the darkness of their homeworld, harsh light can easily blind them and even begin to burn their exposed sensory organs. Lore/background: The Er'arktis began existence as subterranean insects known for their extensive burrow networks and efficient hive organisation. They were a native species of the planet Sarkor-3, a lush forest planet within the Sarkor star system. Sarkor-3 was originally host to a dominant species of humanoids known as Yersoks who, over time, became an advanced civilisation at the brink of full scale intergalactic travel. The Yersok species however, came to an abrupt end when the star systems sun began to deteriorate under its own energy, leading to extreme thermal events which destabilised the surface of Sarkor-3. A small percentage of the Yersok species managed to escape the planet in prototype colony vessels, but the vast majority were stranded planet-side when the atmosphere began to turn toxic. Eventually the entire Yersok population perished, leaving behind broken mega-cities, some of which remained powered up thanks to heavy duty dark fusion reactors for millions of years. Eventually the Sun burned itself out, extinguishing and sending the entire system into complete darkness. Sarkor-3 stabilised, but the atmosphere combined with the now heavily misshapen core had turned the planet into a toxic hellscape of charred rock and extreme heat. For millions of years after this point, Sarkor-3 seemed barren of all life...until the emergence of the Er'arktis. Having not just survived, but thrived, within the planet after its near-death, the Er'arktis had grown.Moving on 6 legs with 4 arms situated along the thorax , no longer were they small creatures of basic design, now they had grown large, and with the growth of both their physical form and population came increased intelligence. They began to spread across the surface, discovering what was now their domain, learning and adapting to a new world above their subterranean networks. This expansion bought them to the ancient, but in some areas, still functioning mega-cities of the previous rulers of Sarkor-3..introducing them to advanced technologies and ideas which they eagerly pored over, repurposing them to the needs of the hive. In a comparatively short amount of time, the Er'arktis had consumed all vestiges of the old world and had learned from the archives of the once-rulers of their planet. And so began the second expansion of the Er'arktis Hive, spreading through their system to inhabit and thrive on the other stricken planets floating in their lightless realm. Until eventually, with the backing of another 4 infested and colonised planets behind them.. They set their mind to what lay beyond the dark system they called their own...And moved toward the light... Homeworld: Sarkor-3 (arid).a barren,toxic thermal waste planet. One of 5 planets situated within the now-dead Sarkor System. Ethics: Militarist. (The Er'arktis attack anything they see as a viable target) Materialist. (The gathering and assimilation of all and any technology is a priority of the highest order to the Er'arktis) Hive Mind.(the Er'arktis function as individuals to an extent, allowing them the concept of multifaceted tactics and strategy. Though the collective sensory intake and overall drive of the Hive is processed through a small network of extremely high functioning hivemind relays.In the case of the Er'arktis, these relays are known as Demi-Queens and Sub-Tyrants.) Imperial: The Er'arktis hive is driven by the will of the Primary Tyrant, an immensely intelligent entity which is in actual fact (currently) 5 separate physical Er'arktis Sub Tyrants sharing a singular consciousness. Upon the eventual expiration or unforeseen death of one or more of the 5 physical bodies, Sub Tyrants from the secondary hivemind network are immediately overtaken by the Primary Mind until it is divided once more between 5 bodies. In the as yet unheard of event that all 5 of the Primary Minds physical forms are simultaneously destroyed,fully developed but empty "husks" (either Tyrant or Queen form) begin the process of forming the new Primary Mind. This process has never before been required, but would leave the Er'arktis hivemind temporarily vulnerable and uncoordinated until the New Primary Mind has formed within the Husks, and reestablished connection to the overall hivemind through the Demi-Queens/Sub-Tyrants. Flag: The heraldry/symbolism of the Er'Arktis Hive is a simple black background with a ragged red line running from the top left to bottom right corner. Ship Appearance: The Hive Fleet of the Er'arktis vary in size and shape, though the majority of their vessels bear a resemblance to the surface of their homeworld. Blackened metal with the look of melted stone to it, gnarled and jagged points jutting out along the hull in seemingly random positions. An Er'arktis ship would be hard to make out if placed against amongst the debris field of an erupted volcano. The sizes vary from small drones the size of a car, to the hulking Nest-Carriers which could darken the sun above an entire continent if they entered atmosphere. And as may be expected of a Hive Fleet, Er'arktis vessels are hardly ever seen in small groups,quite the opposite..a basic combat swarm usually consists of hundreds if not thousands of ships.
