Paradise Violated
The Krik Collective
So named, due to the noise they make with their mandibles.
You remember when you were young your mother would sit you in front of the vid screen and let you watch old Earth movies (Mostly from the 20th and 21st century) and years later when you saw your first Krik up close and personal, you wondered if some of those directors weren't time travelers from the future because all those old Earth movie stereotypes of a hostile hive minded insectoid alien race wouldn't be too far off when applying them to the Krik. They look like big bipedal bugs; there simply isn't any other way to put it. While they aren't exactly "devour all life for the queen" they come close. They do have a sense of individuality, but they always work in unison and for the common good of their race. A way of thinking that has served them well. As warriors they tend to use very effective bio-engineered weapons that only they can use. They're fierce fighters, but sometimes tactics can fail them, due to their likeminded thinking. They aren't very innovative, but then again it tends not to matter when they usually outnumber their enemies. One mind, a thousand "bullets" would be the ideology here.
Due to their hive mindset they spread out on every world they can live on, and woe to those already living on it. They tend to enslave other races, but also use them as food. Life under the Krik is to be used and ultimately consumed.
They treat the other Major races little better, but they have enough intelligence to realize that a major all out war would be costly though. (Nothing prevents "little wars" though every now and then) Ultimately the Krik WILL go to war with everyone; it's just a matter of time, so diplomacy is limited and only when it's something they wouldn't normally be able to achieve themselves. While they typically don't really have anything that would be considered "feelings" they do tend to show what could be classified as "dislike" in regards to humans for some reason.
Perhaps it due to the stories they hear of how humanity has been killing billions of "little kriks" for centuries on Earth.
