The Parasitic Dominion of Sorelika





Interesting is the fact of how diverse life really is. This s not more prevelant that in the contrast between Sorelikans and other sentients of the galaxy. At a glance, They seem to be hive minded insectoids. But after much closer examination, the average viewer would see that Sorelika is no simple hive mind. THe Grand Mother rules over the entire population of nearly 750 billion spawns, Carriers,Generates, and adaptoids.



First, a look at the "caste system".

[Sorelika (Ancient)]

Eggs


The appearance of eggs magnified 500x while inside a carrier female. These eggs are extremely fragile, and are protected by the heavily armored eggsac, on the back of a carrier female. They, after a month, will htach and bust out of the eggsac emerging as a spawn.

Spawn


Born blind and weak, these insectoid like creatures are the first living form of Sorelikans. They are only semi-sentient once born, and as soon as they feed on about a gram of calcium, they are ready for a host.
Finding a host is the driving force behind a spawn's hort life. If they fail to find a host within a week, they die. An exception to this is on the Sorelikan homeworld, where advanced technologies can nurture and feed the spawn untill an alternative host can be found.
A host can be sentient or not, regardless of the host's previous intelligence, the spawn will become a sentient Generate once it enters the host's brain. It will also take on the hosts knowledge of local organics and technology alike.



Generates




An example of what will happen to a generate if the host doesn't have enough calcium inside of it. In other cases, when calcium is plentiful(Like humans, dogs, and many alien species) the Generate will take on the form of the host almost exactly. However, sometimes the host's eye color will turn a reddish orange.
Once generates are completely joined with a host, they can communicate with other Sorelikans through a telepathic like language. They can also communicate in the same ways the host did. One unique characteristic of Generates is that if their host has a togue or similar organ, the generate can project the now sharp and poisonous tongue whic can be a powerful weapon.
