Introducing the Insekta

Insekta

The Insekta comprise of highly intelligent insect species. Their origins appear clouded and secret, for underground hidden from the sight, a dark malevolent spark would soon ignite with the arrival of the Creator species.

While the Creator Race found no existence of intelligent evolved species anywhere in Genesis, one did exist. It hid itself from these new invaders, waited and watched from the darkness, allowing those above to spread their spores from world to world. Underground beneath their footsteps, were massive underground fungal colonies

As the Genesys implantation of the worlds began, insects evolved at an increasingly rapid pace, becoming hosts and slaves to the Cordyceps Fungi. The Fungal Colonies grew and the insekta evolved, spreading across worlds with an insidious drive unparalleled to other emerging races.

Over time some Insekta threw off their hosts, and the weakest of the Fungal Colonies were destroyed. Others infected by their fungal host, remain bound to the will of the Cordyceps Fungi.

Insekta are one of the fastest evolving species in the Genesys Worlds, with numerous variants, including the Arachnidia, Formian, Millipede, and many more.

Their drive is to feed and survive above all else. Clicks and whines from the mandibles of the Insekta are nearly impossible to decipher, and even those that try, cannot emulate the pheromonel changes to properly dictate meaning. Compound the effects of physical differences with hive control or the dark Cordyceps Fungi, and the result is that other life domains must confront the Insekta with extermination or fall prey to it.
