Creature:Seronian

The Seronian are an insectoid race of the Sindaren system on the planet Nidares Prime. They are in control of one of the largest spice empires in the galaxy, owning nearly three hundred spice producing planets, and are constantly searching for more. They not only sell the spice at high profits, but it also constitutes a major part of their diets.

Physical Description
The Seronian body plan is very much like that of other insects, such as having three body segments and three pairs of legs. They have a pair of wings upon their backs that aid them in flight, and a small blade-like appendage grows out of their larger pair of arms that aids them in combat. Their elongated legs aid them in leaping high into the air, which when combined with their wings, gives them the ability to fly high without expending much energy. Their thick exoskeleton protects them from both the environment and from predators.

Culture
The Seronian culture revolves around the masses of drones working for the elites. The drones build the citadels, and also mine the spices and tending the farms. The warriors guard the cities, protecting them from various predators and from rival cities. The elite run the city, and serve the queen directly, the only member that lays fertile eggs, though in reality she has no power, and is only used to lay eggs.

Royalty
The Seronian elite rule the nests, and are differentiated from the drones and warriors by a small crest on their forehead and a more golden coloration. They are born into this position from specialized eggs, though occasionally non-elites can advance enough to become one.

Seronian Empire
Upon achieving space travel, the Seronians spread across their own solar system, discovering new spices and species to feast upon. Soon their own solar system was completely inhabited, with vast spice mines opened up and new farms developed with various exotic meats. Their warriors continued to advance, colonizing the asteroids and non spice producing moons. Eventually, an unknown race visited them, and with their help, they were able to advance out of their solar system.

From that moment onwards, the Seronians expanded their spice empire, gaining vast amounts of wealth and building massive spice ships to carry their trade. As of now they are one of the largest spice traders in the galaxy, and are still growing. They have proven an asset to the galaxy due to their defense of their systems from invading life-forms, defending themselves and other races that reside within it.
