Good day to you all!
As some of you might have already heard we are starting a new campaign for the next weeks Extraterrestrial Thursday!

This time around we call upon YOU to join us in making this a journey (through space) worth remembering!

The concept for the new campaign relies on that all the species in our Galaxy save for the one made by Anders and Martin will be submitted by the community!

That's the game's bio, but pretty much Osiron is king of the hive and the Swarm of Osiris are essentially his followers, the lowest class of the hive are food gatherers and miners who are slaves and forced to only reproduce for more slaves, while the electricians, soldiers, and constructors are middle-class who are allowed nice housing and a family and act as normal citizens that serve the empire - Commanders, generals, scientists and governors on the other hand are more of the higher ups in the society and are allowed to eat with Osiron himself which to all Blattarians is considered utmost holy and prestigious! His highness is not easily satisfied and he will eat pretty much anyone who thinks to stand up to him except for his heir which he grooms to perfection. He has multiple queens, all used for reproduction of eggs to get more soldiers and potentially skilled commanders, generals, governors and scientists. The Swarm comes from planets they like to call Hives because all planets have a governor which acts as a mini-king of his planet, but they all obey Osiron's commands because he is the biggest and strongest in the entire empire and is the only Blattarian who can produce offspring that grows to become as huge and strong as him.

Control Osiron himself as he leads the Swarm of Osiris on it's path to glory through space and beyond!

From "Races of the Galaxy" by Hran'gu Ta:
The Yogg'ra were an old race that never bothered to visit the stars. Their focus was on the microscale instead. Genetism, microbiologus, biochymistry was their main interest. When many other races invented the wheel to reach off places easier, the Yogg'ra modified their first bacteria. Sources say, that a common flaw in the Yogg'ra psych was the fear of the unknown. Maybe this was the reason they never reached for the stars. In any case, the existance of the Yogg'ra was ended by their own creation, the Xalvos. A single historic claims, that the first and last Yogg'ra colony ship left planet before the end. No proof for this claim has been found yet.

From "Races of the Galaxy" by Hran'gu Ta:
The now extinct Yogg'ra were frail of body but powerful in mind. Their knowledge of the now lost art of genetism was outstanding. As no Yogg'ra was able to trust another, they needed reliable bodyguards, workers and soldiers. Their first succesful experiment were the Xalvos, uplifted from an anthropoid race of vermin. As a safeguard three directives were genetically embedded into all Xalvos: 1. Protect Yogg at all cost. 2. Follow all orders of a Yogg'ra. 3. Sacrifice yourself to fulfill order one or two if needed. 200 Years later the Yogg'ra were about to start a war that threatened the existance of Yogg. With great sadness the Xalvos fulfilled the first directive.

In ages past, the great flock clans of the Skylin race waged bloody battles upon each other over migratory access rights to the rich lakes and streams of the northern steppes, teeming with fish and other prey. In those days, the planet Springdale was a temperate garden where life flourished easily. But then, the climate changed and an ice age began to grip the planet. The endless snow forever changed the surface of Springdale. With the fate of the species at stake, a new government was needed. The old ways of clan warfare were abandoned and the Casually Harmonious Infinite Roving Pact of the Yolk was formed.

"The Ikkari, which means Children of the Sun in their language, are a species of eusocial insectoids that rose on the arid world of Ir-Vol-Ta. As their minds developed, each hive came to regard its King and Queen as living gods, the sources of all Ikkari life and the beloved progenitors of the entire hive family. The addition of religious fervor to their already instinctual wars over resource control led them to view their early history as a literal war of the gods. Eventually, a single hive, and therefore a single god, achieved hegemony over Ir-Vol-Ta. Today, the Ikkari believe that they are ruled over by an ordered pantheon of gods, a pantheon that all are fanatically loyal to."
