Creature:Xandrio

The Xandrio are a massive empire of telapathic ant like creatures that are far from friendly. They believe that they are superior beings, and that all others should bow down to their might. They live in vast colonies that can cover and control an entire planet in a few days. They live in clusters of astroids and comets harvested from the systems they have consumed. Thety are unstoppable, cause they keep their entire species within 200 LYs of eachother. They control no planets for long, preferring to consum worlds and take the creatures living on them as slaves, to do work they cannot. They are locusts, consuming systems and moving on to the next...

Critter
They look like ants(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MStCYtXT6Lw&safe_search=on), cept much bigger and they hunt and forage in the same manner, cept on a planetary scale. They can cover an entire system in mere weeks, and consume all things that can't get away in time. Once a year they will stop moving and star breeding, dubleing or tripleing in size and number. Once ever 3 years a colony splits into 6 smaller ones., each with the capability to wipe out a system in a day. They will not hesitate to attack creatures or objects many times their own size. They can bite though granite and can lift many times their own weight. One individual can lift 30-40 others when neccesary.

History
Evolving from a cell, these creatures originated on an unknown planet. It is assumed that they consumed their own system just as completely asany other. it is also assumed that they haven't changed at all, cept to get bigger-n-bigger. By the time they left their homeworld, the Xandrio were about 4 meters long, and 2 meters tall. They had developed cepts and a Council of Kings to do all the inter-colony polatics.

The First War
The firse species we encoutered in our search for food and materials were called the Wubble. They were utterly unprepared for our attack. We launched ourselves against their planets and swiftly crushed them, using any survivors to clean up the mess and teach us how to use their tech. unfortunatly, they had allys. Their allys were the Gnosh, the Dubel and the Civers. between them, they controlled some 20 odd planets. We continued on our way, devourering planets and systems as we went. It took about 30 years, but we eventually crushed the Gnosh, Dubel, and Civers empires. We still have the decendants of slaves we took from those empire, almost 300 generations removed from their forfathers.

The Consumption of the Grox
This war takes place almost 400 years later, with us controlling vast numbers of colonies, we attacked them. We knew they would provide us with many many years of battle, allowing us to consume many worlds without the risk of allys attacking us. We devouwered their worlds, consuming every resource avalable and turning it to the war effort. At first they seemed in shock, as if they had expected us to lose quickly, then they rose up to the challange after we had consumed 200 or so worlds of theirs. After the fist 200, they became much harder to take, and we almost gave up several times. But the Xandrio are patient. We can wait, we can grow our power and focus our energies. We took a 100 year breack, and after that we focused at least 5 fully grown colonies into an attack. The grox were slowly, grudingly being pushed back, and nothing could stop us. Finally, after thousands of years of war, we deafeated them. We had finaly consumed the Grox.

What now?
With the Grox gone, we had no purpose. For almosy 12 thousand years we had fought them, and now with them gone we had way to many people and no real enemies to fight. othr empires reatreated before us, and we became the new Grox. They must have loved us for being so good, seeing as we now had no one to attack,. We turned in on ourselves, Xandrio against Xandrio, colony against colony, Warrior against Warrior. it was the single darkest era in our history. Many heros must have been born, but no colony lasted long enuff to remeber them, and new heros were born every day. The only enemy that could stand against us was ourselves. Some of our colonies wanted a way out, and left for the edges of our galaxy. They started to form alliances, to become what we once were: A single organisme of many parts, a true Xandrio supercolony was being formed for the first time in since the Grox were defeated, 8 thousand years ago...

The Great Wars
Many great Xandio super colonies were formed from the colonies that fled the wars and anarchy that had consumed the old colony after the grox were defeated. They started to take over new territory, to spread and collide with one another. And as they did, war brock out, for none would consight to surender to another. Then, one of them found an anchent base, a colony that had been crushed in the chaos of the great wars, filled with information and ideas from that time. This small abandoned base brought back the Council of Kings, and the Cepts and we know them. It is now a major torist atraction, the only place in the universe with a permanint setlemint and army.

Cepts

 * Warrior:Warriors protect the colony, gaurd the slaves, and attack planets. They are the first members of their race to land on the surface of a world, and are the last ones to leave. They can lift many times their own weight and carry powerful weapons. They also have large pincerse that can cute through steel. They cannot feed themselves, and rely on Slaves or Worers (depending on how succesful they are) to feed and clean them.
 * Worker:Wokers build colonies, feed soldiers and royalty, and basically do all the work in a colony. They know they are on bottom, but they can't fight (no pincers or claws) and connot build complex things(too clumsy). They deal with it, knowing that without them the colony would collaps into chaos.
 * Builder:Builders desighn and build complex things like ships, weapons, and other advanced tech. They go with the soldiers to collect samples of a planets tech and see if they can get it to work. They are always asking questions, and have access to prisoners and slaves to help them with their work.
 * General: Generals are the most succesful warriors. They lead the rest of the warriors to victory.
 * Captian:Captians control ships and astroids. They have cyberonic upgrades that allow them to communicate with and manipulate their ships at the speed of thought. They can also communicate with each other at the speed of light. This is so they never crash, and their track record is perfect.
 * Lord:Lords are what new colonies kings are called. Not yet strong enuff to be a king (on the kings Council) but still leading their own colony, they are the lower royalty.
 * King:Kings control colonies. They alamost always control a colony that has divided.
 * Slave:The lowest cept, they feed, clean, and care for the rest of the colony. They are usually captured from planets that have been consumed. They are never Xandioians, and are heavly guarded.
 * Queens: Mindless slaves to the colony, they can only produce eggs and mate. Other then that, they just sit there.
