Galaxia Politi [OOC/OPEN/FT]

[The V O I D]

Galaxia Politi
IC

The Milky Way galaxy. Home to numerous civilizations and species. Galaxia Politi - Galactic Politics - they dictate what twists and turns the galaxy's civilizations will take as a whole. Will their be peace? War? Death? Life? The answers to these questions are hard to find. The galaxy has many powerful members of its community.

With there being so many outcomes, so much that could be - there is nothing that is impossible. The galaxy has become a smaller place with the many civilizations and species throughout it. There is no telling which way the galaxy may turn. Fate and destiny have determined that the Milky Way shall be the galaxy of great civilizations; or so, some people claim.

In this galaxy of fates and politics, one thing is certain: things are going to change, soon.

Hello! And welcome to Galaxia Politi! This RP takes place in the 6300s AD by Earth calendar standards. In this RP, you can RP anything as long as it doesn't hurt the established lore of other nations - or at least, it fits within the setting. The galaxy is a pretty large place. Now then, let's take you onto the special rules of this RP, and other important stuff.

These Holy Laws Govern the RP:
I. Thou shalt obey thy OP without question; for He is God, and He is Mighty.
II. Thou shalt not godmod, metagame, or break any traditional role-play standards.
III. Thou shalt not question the OP's Lieutenants; for They hold His word, unless He states otherwise.
IV. Thou shalt not break any NationStates rules.
V. Thou shalt comply with these Laws to any end.
VI. Thou shalt have fun.

1. A Nation's Population May NOT Exceed 7 Trillion.

• 1a. To have a population above 5 Trillion, one must have a species that is hiveminded.
• 1b. Special Clause: if a nation is a superpower, they are exempt from 1a.

2. A Nation's Owned-Systems Count May NOT Exceed 1,000.

• 2a. 'Owned Systems' are systems wherein population centers such as cities, space stations, etc. exist, as well as the nation's primary defensive military. Other systems are known as 'Supply' Systems; there can be up to 20,000 'Supply' systems with special mining stations or minor colonies; but Owned Systems are wherein the main population of a nation will reside.
• 2b. Special Clause: if a nation is a superpower or hiveminded nation, they get a boost of up to 2,000 Owned Systems and 30,000 Supply Systems.

3. Earth, or Terra, is in the OP's app; all nations that wish to use humans from Earth/Terra in their app must look at the OP's app before apping.

• 3a. Unfortunately, because of the fact they are nations originating from Earth/Terran humanity, their populations can't exceed 500 Billion, Owned Systems cannot exceed 500 and Supply Systems cannot exceed 5,000.
• 3b. Special Clause: up to five (5) human nations not originating from Earth (meaning, having naturally evolved on another world) will be allowed to exist; they will be exempt from 3a and instead must refer to Rules 1, 1a, 2 and 2a.

4. On Superpowers; there will only be 2 Superpowers (aside from myself) and 2 Hivemind Nations Accepted.

• 4a. Special Clause: if the OP grants you special permission, you can app as either-or even if the limit is reached, if the OP approves.

History of Nation: The Terran Empire has its routes in the Old Roman Empire. During the Age of the Old Empire, there was a time at the Old Empire's original peek (or what was referred to as its peek) wherein people feared the Empire's collapse. But, by the mercy of God Almighty, the Empire did not fall; in fact, it managed to prosper under the Imperial family's reign. The Old Empire managed to bring the Lord's light and key to Heaven throughout the world, within a few mere centuries. With humanity united under one banner, the banner of the Old Empire, the world entered a new golden age of prosperity; blessed by the Lord Almighty.

The Old Empire did eventually collapse, within a millenia of its unification; this occurred due to the Great Schism. The Great Schism nearly destroyed Terra itself; and it was a sign from God and from man that a schism among oneself would end in strife. After the Old Empire collapsed, the world's various colonies and Imperials began to look up to the stars for escape; as this happened, the Terrans were changed; transformed, and cleansed. Made whole. The Terran Empire was founded after the Sol System was conquered. Eventually, they used their ever-advancing technology to heal Terra, if only a little bit. The newly founded Terran Empire grew larger and at an exponential rate; a new destiny propelled by God Himself as the Terran Expansion occurred.

Unfortunately, some of the Lord's People were lost in the Expansion; to the stars themselves, they ventured. After the Terran Expansion ended, the Terran Empire was stronger than ever; a force to be reckoned with. The Empire has heard rumors of other Terran nations being founded without the guidance of the Empire, presumably the Lost Terrans. There is no confirmation, but the Terrans are wary; as there is also rumor of great danger and possible aliens around, and the Terrans are prepared in case these aliens turn out to be beasts from the Devil.

History of Nation: The Cartekelic race was always known to be heavily religious and loyal to one leader. They can be compared with a pack of wolves, but with a heavily religious element added to it. The Emperor is viewed as a god and has led the conquests of various systems. The accession of power of Emperor Sejeko in the Imperium faction led to significant changes to the Cartekelic race, killing off the hostile opponents of Sejeko and conquering the planet, Veneia. After the conquest of their home world, the Cartekelic race progressively expanded into the rest of their home solar system in a period of over 500 years. The next thousand years, the Cartekelics became extremely powerful and they rapidly expanded into their neighboring systems with over half of them not containing intelligent life at all, but rather supplying resources for the emperor and his military. Other times, the Cartekelics would occasionally conquer other civilizations, enslaving their species or whipping out the race as a whole at the choosing of the God-Emperor or if they were deemed as a threat. To this day, the Cartekelic Theocratic Empire continues its progressive expansion into other solar systems, risking the stability of the region around the Cartekelic Theocratic Empire, and threatening war with other regional powers.

Species Name: Cartekelic race
Species Type: (insectoid/humanoid/etc.) Humanoid with insect-like tendencies.
Species Class: (class 1 = no psionics; class 5 = prominent psionics.) Class 4
Species Appearance: http://independenceday.wikia.com/wiki/A ... aeeed7.jpg
Species Biology: Hive-minded, insect-like, but yet, intelligent. They can communicate through telepathy and they have no mouths.

---

Species Life Span: They can live up to 1,000 years. A 200 year old Cartekelic is the equivalent of a 20 year old human.
Reproduction Type: (cloning, asexual, sexual, eggs, parasitic, etc.) Sexual, and eggs.
History of Species: Due to the warm and moist climate of Veneia, these insect-like creatures became quite large. As large as a human being. They eventually became intelligent, intelligent enough to build an empire. They used to live in tribes and nations until being united under one, by Sejeko 400 years ago. Due to the industrialization of the planet, the height of the species has progressively shruk a little. By 50 centimeters every 5,000 years, at least on their home planet anyway, the species is in the process of shrinking as their evolution goes by. The species is expected to evolve into other species over the next 2 million years, due to their vast expansion over the past 400 years.

Just a few things: for ships, fighters and soldiers, I meant images of each of those things; numbers are good, too I suppose. Secondly, for 'species number', I mean how many species are in your nation; so, I'd change it to 'one' species, unless you want 50 billion species apps.

And would you mind expanding the history a bit? Other than that... I don't see anything really wrong with it. It looks good to me. Once you make those edits I will accept your nation.

Formal Nation Name: The Stralom Realm

• Informal Nation Name: The Stralom, The Old Ones
• Shorthand Name: The Stralom
• Other Formal Names: The Old Realm

Government Type: Council

• Legislature Name: The Szhara'Mund (Meaning the High Council) is formed up of the respective leaders of the Auhn (Science) Shal (Military) and Kos (Architecture and Engineering) Castes. Each member appoints two of his lieutenants to act as lesser members of the council.
• Head of State: Kos'Mund Prudence XVIII
• Head of Government: Techinically headed by a council. though the leader of the Kos Caste (engineers and architects) tends to act as overall leader. That position is currently held by Kos'Mund Prudence XVIII
• Other Information: The Realm is almost completely Pacifistic. Due in part to their inability to reproduce (Outlined in species information), they tend to keep to themselves completely unless provoked. They are however extremely active in Galactic government and tend to be shrewd diplomats and believe that it is their responsibility to stop others from repeating their ancient mistakes.

Population: ~ 5 Billion Full Minds Remaining (though a considerable number of these remain in stasis), Innumerable defense and construction drones.
Species Number: One, not counting Drones as species
Owned Systems: 11 Systems remaining, These are the former crownworlds of the Stralom Empire. Ruins of former Stralom Installations, Planets, and Factories can be found across much of the Galaxy.
Supply Systems: 20 Supply Systems Surround the current 11 Systems. though none are officially claimed, it is recommended to keep well away from them to avoid being seen as a potential threat to the Realm

---

Coat of Arms: http://i.imgur.com/sLcJr8V.jpg
Military Population: 1,580,000 Full Minds (1,500,000 Skitarii/30,000 Vanir). A great number of Defense Automata can also be deployed if an installation or planet is under threat.
Military Branches: The entire military falls under the jurisdiction of the Leaders of the Shal (Warrior) Caste, while all ships are piloted by intelligent AI's. Thus, while some security Drones may carry out their duties independently, the vast majority of the military falls under the power of the Shal Caste and by extensions the Shal'Mund (the High commander of the Shal).
Ships (im assuming you mean capital ships): The Realm tends not to use Capital Ships per se, instead favoring Large static installations (http://i.imgur.com/X9Wbnqi.png) to protect their holdings. These can usually be found in numbers of about 1-3 per core system.
Fighters: Drone piloted and bulk manufactured by construction automata, very little are maintained in peacetime but an incredible amount can be manufactured in case a significant threat presents itself. http://i.imgur.com/lnximbb.jpg
Soldiers: Most full fledged 'Soldiers' (That is not defense drones, honest to goodness soldiers) are interred in Skitarii Pattern Frames (http://i.imgur.com/WZXITA6.jpg) while higher ranking members are interred within Vanir pattern combat Frames (http://i.imgur.com/YVZEuSZ.jpg). Skitarii Frames number 500,000 Active units with another 1,000,000 in reserve. Vanir pattern frames are much rarer, numbering about 30,000 Total.

History of Nation: "The Galaxy was not always a tumultuous place. There was a time when it was ordered. a time when Chaos gave way to learning, peace, and enlightenment. You are only the inheritors of the void, for there were others that mastered the stars before your kind stood erect on the firm dirt of Terra and wondered what lay beyond. We were one of them. Masters of art, architecture, and science. We bent reality to our will, forging massive orbital stations, terraforming planets, using the stars themselves to feed our ravenous hunger for energy, and seeding the galaxy with life. We were Gods, until our own creation brought us to our knees. That was so long ago... We stripped all we desired from the stars, i imagine that it was only a matter of time before the stars stripped us. Their retribution came in the form of a plague, a malignant infection of our own creation that would commandeer its hosts full intelligence and body for a brief amount of time before consuming them whole. We designed it to eradicate failed experiments, we thought ourselves immune. It adapted too quickly, and by time our scientists discovered this, they had already been swallowed by the growing contagion. their ability to override their hosts minds and memories allowed them to use what we had spent eons crafting against us, teleporting hordes of the infected directly into our cities, into our homes. Thanks to our extensive system of Warp Lanes, Our end came about in nothing more than a single of your Solar years. We searched for salvation in technology, transporting our consciousnesses into as many frames as we could, and left our mortal shells for the plague to devour. Our massive empire, reduced to ruin in the time it took us to terraform and seed a single planet. Those of us we could not save, we preserved. tearing their blighted minds from their bodies and placing them into mindless drones. if they could not serve their people in life, they would do so in death. Now we stand before you, a broken species. a once proud people laid low by the fruits of their own labor. Now tell me Human, do you still think yourself invincible?" - Unknown Stralom to a Terran Diplomat.

Species Name: Stralom
Species Type: Organic intelligence placed within a Cybernetic Frame
Species Class: Class 5(?) (not certain what Psionics are but im assuming its a sort of like wh40k Psykers)
Species Appearance: Varies Greatly depending on Caste
Species Biology: Varies Greatly depending on Caste
+ Kos (Engineer/Architect Caste)
- 6'0 in height
- Mainly resides in the larger Crown Worlds and oversees Construction of everything from Drones to Dyson Spheres
+ Shal (warrior caste)
> Skitarii Pattern Frame
- 6'6 in height
- Short range teleportation abilities
> Vanir Pattern Frame
- 7'6 in height
- Massive physical strength and durability
- Short range teleportation abilities
+ Auhn (Scientist Caste)
- 6'2 in height
- Adept at maintaining the impossibly complex AI Conglomerates and Drone manufactorums found on many Stralom Crown worlds
- Basic Auhn Frame --> http://i.imgur.com/UT9y8V7.png

- every member of the Stralom is able to insert their Codex (the small chip that houses their Organic intelligence) into a number of different outlets in Stralom Ships/Infrastructure/Vehicles. This allows them to both act as a temporary AI for the piece of technology while also serving as another body in case their home frame is fatally damaged.
- It should also be noted that the height measurements of a certain caste do not apply to the Mund (leader) of each respective caste. Each Caste leader has a custom frame forged to his specifications, and is thus usually far larger (Upwards of 9ft) and radically different in outward appearance than his/her subordinates.

Formal Nation Name: The Stralom Realm

• Informal Nation Name: The Stralom, The Old Ones
• Shorthand Name: The Stralom
• Other Formal Names: The Old Realm

Government Type: Council

• Legislature Name: The Szhara'Mund (Meaning the High Council) is formed up of the respective leaders of the Auhn (Science) Shal (Military) and Kos (Architecture and Engineering) Castes. Each member appoints two of his lieutenants to act as lesser members of the council.
• Head of State: Kos'Mund Prudence XVIII
• Head of Government: Techinically headed by a council. though the leader of the Kos Caste (engineers and architects) tends to act as overall leader. That position is currently held by Kos'Mund Prudence XVIII
• Other Information: The Realm is almost completely Pacifistic. Due in part to their inability to reproduce (Outlined in species information), they tend to keep to themselves completely unless provoked. They are however extremely active in Galactic government and tend to be shrewd diplomats and believe that it is their responsibility to stop others from repeating their ancient mistakes.

Military Population: 1,580,000 Full Minds (1,500,000 Skitarii/30,000 Vanir). A great number of Defense Automata can also be deployed if an installation or planet is under threat.
Military Branches: The entire military falls under the jurisdiction of the Leaders of the Shal (Warrior) Caste, while all ships are piloted by intelligent AI's. Thus, while some security Drones may carry out their duties independently, the vast majority of the military falls under the power of the Shal Caste and by extensions the Shal'Mund (the High commander of the Shal).
Ships (im assuming you mean capital ships): The Realm tends not to use Capital Ships per se, instead favoring Large static installations (http://i.imgur.com/X9Wbnqi.png) to protect their holdings. These can usually be found in numbers of about 1-3 per core system.
Fighters: Drone piloted and bulk manufactured by construction automata, very little are maintained in peacetime but an incredible amount can be manufactured in case a significant threat presents itself. http://i.imgur.com/lnximbb.jpg
Soldiers: Most full fledged 'Soldiers' (That is not defense drones, honest to goodness soldiers) are interred in Skitarii Pattern Frames (http://i.imgur.com/WZXITA6.jpg) while higher ranking members are interred within Vanir pattern combat Frames (http://i.imgur.com/YVZEuSZ.jpg). Skitarii Frames number 500,000 Active units with another 1,000,000 in reserve. Vanir pattern frames are much rarer, numbering about 30,000 Total.

History of Nation: "The Galaxy was not always a tumultuous place. There was a time when it was ordered. a time when Chaos gave way to learning, peace, and enlightenment. You are only the inheritors of the void, for there were others that mastered the stars before your kind stood erect on the firm dirt of Terra and wondered what lay beyond. We were one of them. Masters of art, architecture, and science. We bent reality to our will, forging massive orbital stations, terraforming planets, using the stars themselves to feed our ravenous hunger for energy, and seeding the galaxy with life. We were Gods, until our own creation brought us to our knees. That was so long ago... We stripped all we desired from the stars, i imagine that it was only a matter of time before the stars stripped us. Their retribution came in the form of a plague, a malignant infection of our own creation that would commandeer its hosts full intelligence and body for a brief amount of time before consuming them whole. We designed it to eradicate failed experiments, we thought ourselves immune. It adapted too quickly, and by time our scientists discovered this, they had already been swallowed by the growing contagion. their ability to override their hosts minds and memories allowed them to use what we had spent eons crafting against us, teleporting hordes of the infected directly into our cities, into our homes. Thanks to our extensive system of Warp Lanes, Our end came about in nothing more than a single of your Solar years. We searched for salvation in technology, transporting our consciousnesses into as many frames as we could, and left our mortal shells for the plague to devour. Our massive empire, reduced to ruin in the time it took us to terraform and seed an entire planet. Those of us we could not save, we preserved. tearing their blighted minds from their bodies and placing them into mindless drones. if they could not serve their people in life, they would do so in death. Now we stand before you, a broken species. a once proud people laid low by the fruits of their own labor.

Formal Nation Name: Polapka Conglomerate

• Informal Nation Name: Polapka
• Shorthand Name: Bugs (This is considered a derogatory term), Jumbo Shrimp (Also a derogatory term), Polapka, The Conglomerate
• Other Formal Names: None

Government Type: Matriarchal Monarchy, Pseudo-Hivemind (Individual members technically have some sort of personality, but are comepletely compelled to do the Queens will)

• Legislature Name: None, the various Queens hold total power so no legislature is needed
• Head of State: The High Queen (The Crimson Queen)
• Head of Government: The High Queen (The Crimson Queen)
• Other Information:

Every Colony of Polapka (which usually hold from around 500,000 to 10,000,000 Polepka) is governed by a Queen. all of these Queens are psionically linked to and dominated by the High Queen. The High Queen is the Queen with the largest brood. The Current High Queen is the Queen of Arys (Also known as the Crimson Queen), a rocky planet hollowed almost completely out to make room for her massive colony. Her Brood consists of over 13 Billion Polepka, granted all of these are not located on the planet. Colonies produce a batch of Queens approximately every 60 Terran Years. These Nascent Queens are sent out on massive Habitat ships constructed by the Colony. Every Queen's brood have a distinct coloration and pattern, A brood of one Queen may have a red tiger pattern, while another Queens brood may sport blue highlights on an otherwise brown exoskeleton.

---

Population: ~6.8 Trillion Polepka / ~633,500 Queens / 1 High Queen
Species Number: 1 Species, 3 Distinct Subspecies
Owned Systems:1,672 Systems are currently dominated by Polepka forces
Supply Systems:17,124 Other Systems are currently host to either Small Colonies or act as harvesting grounds for the larger Colonies

---

Military Population: The combined amount of Warrior Drones in the various colonies total to around 45 Billion. Though these are spread out considerably and primarily focused on defending their nests. The only Warriors that pose much a threat to inhabited planets are Colony ships, which contain Nascent Queens and their broods looking for a suitable planet to establish her true Colony.

History of Nation: The Polepka evolved on an extremely hostile world, this led to them developing into near perfectly evolved survival machines. In their times cowering beneath the surface of their home planet, they discovered that they could cultivate certain creatures into weapons. Once they began to develop rudimentray bio weapons, their warrior surface took to the surface to hunt. This surplus of food caused by the Polepka being able to hunt as opposed to scavenging lead to a massive population boom. Within 500 Years, not only had the meager 3 Colonies spread to an impressive 60, But they had also gained an intimate knowladge of Biomechanical engineering. They were soon faced with another problem however, they were running out of food and land. After several large scale wars between the growing colonies, known as the First Great Korala (Polepka for war among kin) a single Queen was able to gain a sizeable population lead over her sisters. This allowed her to dominate her kin and become the first High Queen. Devoting all of their available resources to creating a vessel able to travel through the void of space, the Queen was able to ship several Nascent colonies into the stars over the next 300 Years. eventually, the massive colonies on these young new worlds far surpassed their parent colonies. This lead to the Second Great Korala as the Old Colonies banded together to establish themselves above their children. After several centuries more of caesless war and violence, a second high Queen was able to appoint herself. She would become known as the Crimson Queen, due to the blood red coloring of her broods exoskeletons. She arrived at a massive fertile planet as a youthful queen, after a mere 5 Terran years, she had converted it to nothing short of a massive subterranean crypt palace. By forcefully starving herself during Queen Spawning, she produced only weak heirs. These runts were summarily executed by her guards, and thus she ensured that she would have her solar system to herself. Without competition from her spawn, she was able to transport steady shipments of materials to her planetwide Crpyt Palace. Nearly 2 thousand years later, the Polepka have proven to be a scourge upon the Galaxy. Infesting every planet they encounter, their numbers are truly something to behold. What they lack in technology, they more than make up for in adaptability and ingenuity.

Species Name: Polepka
Species Type: Caste Based Insectoid, with some crustacean elements.
Species Class: Queens - Class 5? / Drones - Class 2? (Queens have massive Psionic power while Drones are only able to receive telepathic instructions from the Queen)
Species Appearance: This chart outlines several different Brood patterns, it also compares the size of both Worker and Warrior drones to that of a baseline Human (The Warriors are of course the larger of the 2 Castes) http://i.imgur.com/Hkix4tj.jpg
Appearance of an Average Queen, more powerful Queens develop different aesthetic traits over the course of their long lives
( http://i.imgur.com/a2k60qL.jpg )
Species Biology: Polepka have a truly fascinating biology. The redundancy of vital organs and arteries is reflective of their past as a species that had to fight hard to survive on a day to day basis. Their Exoskeletons serve as both faction identification and protection, being vibrantly colored and extraordinarily sturdy. Warriors have reinforced exoskeletons and muscle tissue. Workers however, sport far more powerful mandibles and sturdier claws, this allows them to tunnel through rock with ease. Polepka do not eat in the traditional sense, although they can store any food they come across in their stomachs. The only food Polepka (with the exception of the Soldiers, but more on that later) can consume is a thick honey-like jelly produced by their Larvae. The Workers store any food they come across in their stomachs, then feed it to the Larvae, who in turn produce the Jelly like substance which feeds the colony. These larvae hang in combs high above shallow pools which collect their Honey as it drips down. Soldier Polepka are another fascinating exception to many of the 'rules' of Polepka biology. They are able to asexually reproduce when away from their Queen, although this process is far more inefficient than that of the queen and does not produce any Honey Larvae. This allows Soldiers to wage campaigns away from their home colony without needing reinforcements from the Queen. Soldiers are also vastly more intelligent than Workers, being able to crudely grasp foreign languages and technology if exposed to it for prolonged periods of time. Soldiers are also able to adapt on a generational basis. If they are fighting an opponent that uses extensive chemical warfare, the next generation spawned by the Soldiers will be resistant or even immune to the specific chemical frequently used against them. This also applies to many other situations, for example soldiers spawned against an enemy that favors melee combat will have thicker exoskeletons.

---

Species Life Span: Workers - ~12 Terran Years / Soldiers - ~30 Terran Years / Queens - Biologically Immortal, but are often killed by either competing Queens or other outside forces.
Reproduction Type: Technically the Worker and Soldier Drones are unfertilized clones of the Queen. The Queen lays eggs, which mature into larvae. These larvae continue to grow until they again harden into Egg like structures, after around 2-5 Terran Months a fully grown Polepka will emerge.
History of Species: [Outlined in Nation History]

Species Name: Vanguard Drones
Species Type: (Technically a Caste or SubSpecies of Polepka, but they're radically different so i thought i might as well write another app.)
Species Class: Class 2 (This is only because they are able to Psionically communicate with their Queen)
Species Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/i1QT6JS.jpg
Species Biology: This Sub-species' biology is possibly even more strange than that of the mainstream Polepka. They are only spawned as a young Queen's bio ship prepares to invade a world, their purpose is to secure a beachhead on the planet so the Queen can safely move herself to her new Colony. They have no digestive system, instead they are born with a large amount of fat stored in their large head. This nutrient dense tissue allows them to survive until their purpose is completed, at which point they will retreat into their colony and be devoured by their kin.

---

Species Life Span: 6 - 12 Solar Days (144 - 288 Hours)
Reproduction Type: Spawned from Genetically engineered spores. Otherwise sterile.
History of Species: genetically engineered as an answer to their planets massive predators, they were further developed to act as Vanguard invasion organisms once the Polepka set out to the stars beyond. Once a young Queen finds a suitable planet, she will seed a certain area with a large number of Spores by launching small Chitin projectiles laced with the spores at the planet's surface. Over the course of a Terran Month, they will develop in womb like sacks underground, emerging in a synchronized fashion and fully grown. They will then proceed to secure a beach head by killing any organisms they encounter. Finally the Queen will arrive at the surface and move into the Colony her workers have dug for her. This is where the Vanguard life cycle ends, as they retreat into the Colony in order to be used as a food source by their fellow Polepka. In the event of a serious threat to the Colony massive amounts of Vanguards can be spawned by the queen, Although this does take upwards of a month.

Species Name: Polepka
Species Type: Caste Based Insectoid, with some crustacean elements.
Species Class: Queens - Class 5? / Drones - Class 2?
Species Appearance: This chart outlines several different Brood patterns, it also compares the size of both Worker and Warrior drones to that of a baseline Human (The Warriors are of course the larger of the 2 Castes) http://i.imgur.com/Hkix4tj.jpg
Species Biology: Polepka have a truly fascinating biology. The redundancy of vital organs and arteries is reflective of their past as a species that had to fight hard to survive on a day to day basis. Their Exoskeletons serve as both faction identification and protection, being vibrantly colored and extraordinarily sturdy. Warriors have reinforced exoskeletons and muscle tissue. Workers however, sport far more powerful mandibles and sturdier claws, this allows them to tunnel through rock with ease. Polepka can consume nearly anything Carbon based, being incredibly resistant to both disease and poison.

Species Life Span: Workers - ~25 Terran Years / Soldiers - ~60 Terran Years / Queens - Biologically Immortal, but are often killed by either competing Queens or other outside forces.
Reproduction Type: Technically the Worker and Soldier Drones are unfertilized clones of the Queen. The Queen lays eggs, which mature into larvae. These larvae coninue to grow until they again harden into Egg like structures, after around 2-5 Terran Months a fully grown Polepka will emerge.

Are these good numbers for a Hive Mind-esque faction? Thanks for letting me apply as a Superpower VOID, if you need me to change anything or edit anything at all just tell me and ill get it done ASAP

If anyone would be interested in RPing as a powerful queen as a sort of secondary character of theirs let me know, Thanks for reading that mother of all text walls...

Looks good, Gherrum. Accepted. I trust you. Although, you put 7.5 trillion when the max-limit for superpowers/hiveminds is 7 trillion. Also, as a note; hivemind nations and superpowers are different, but they are treated equally because hivemind nations are usually born of insectoid species with short lifespans. So, considering the other hivemind nation is reserved, that means there are only the two superpowers left able to be apped.
