WIP [center] [b]The Vazra Swarms[/b] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131027160758/callofduty/images/b/b5/Extinction_Teaser_CODG.jpg[/img] [b]Faction Type:[/b] Hivemind [b]Species:[/b] Vazra is a collective term for the insectoid species native to the world of Abrius, however, the way they are now, is something almost unnatural. They have no single base form, rather are divided into several castes, and divided more so into dozens of subspecies that wok towards a single purpose. They are the result of a selective evolutionary process, if one can even call it that. In which, the planet itself, had gained sentience, and how this truly came to be remains to be seen. Abrius itself is able to manipulate almost anything within it's environment, in which the Vazra were born, as it molded existing insect life into the terrifying creatures the are now.

The Swarms have begun to spread out beyond their world as Abrius demands it, in it's mad crusade of cleansing other worlds of all sentient lifeforms. [b]Culture:[/b] The Vazra have little culture to speak of, the however, have an almost religious-like devotion to their Homeworld and Creator of Abrius , who is mainly referred to as the Great Primordial One. [b]History:[/b] Many millennia ago, the world of Abrius was unlike any other world among the stars, and over unknown time-span, it had eventually become sentient lifeform itself, the largest know in the whole galaxy. It watched as civilizations rose and fell on it's surface, watched mass extinctions of many species over the innumerable eons that followed, played witness to all the event's of it's history...and it grew tired. Something dark and sinister was forming in Abrius , and the Abrians were unaware of the great war to follow. As the Abrians had reached an Industrial Age, Abrius struck. Over the years prior, it had begun to manipulate some of the insect life into it's purpose, and by it''s sheer will, had transformed them into killing machines suited for it's army, and set them loose upon the unsuspecting civilization. For over a hundred years, the Abrians and the Vazra waged a long terrible war, a war the would eventually lose to. In the aftermath, the last remnants of civilization fell to the unrelenting hordes of Abrius. All fell silent, and for a moment, Abrius was the a lone being in it's corner for a quite some time. However, in it's time alone, it had grown mad in the total isolation as the years gone by. And soon, it had decided to set loose it's children throughout the stars, venturing to other worlds, and "liberating" them of other sentient lifeforms. [b]Technology:[/b] Vazra make use of strange biotechnologies, from living starships, to biologically-grown weapons. Some Vazra subspecies have even been morphed to the point to serve as living weapons platforms. The Vazra's method of traversing through deep space was in the early years of their invasions, slow and soon to be discovered ineffective. However, once more advanced spacefaring civilizations fell, the Vazra had ransacked every single vessel of it's jump drive, and grating them within their own ships, granting them a faster method of space travel. [b]Military Forces:[/b] The Warrior Caste of the Vazra number in the untold millions. [/center] [b][u]Vazra Warrior Caste[/u][/b] [hider=First Generation] First Generation Vazra are of the same group that were first used in the Great War against the Abrians, they, unlike later breeds, take on more bestial forms, and are animalistic in tactics and form.

They for one, take on more humanoid shapes, and have increased intelligence to employ complicated tactics and combat, and make use of bioengineered firearms. There also exists larger Second Generation Vazra or take on a special role of mobile weapons platform similar to the First Generation Grenadier.
