Known for her great pragmatism, her brood do not busy themselves with the expansion of the Hive’s colonies. Instead, her brood recycles and melts down parts of the hive ship as well as maintaining the technology that all K’lax enjoy.

There are various ways the brood goes about this, one of which being a large-scale attempt to be biologically superior to Lii’dra specimens. This has caused the brood to be a particular advocate within the K’lax for biological manipulation and augmentation. Genetics tampering is also not unheard of, but generally less commonly looked into. Vedhra takes time to inspect the tools and weapons of other cultures in an attempt to create a force capable of dealing with whatever the Lii’dra can throw at them.

	''See also: [[Vaurca Biology]]''		''See also: [[Vaurca Biology]]''

	~~Vaurcae are two-legged insectoid aliens,~~ with ~~two pairs~~ of ~~eyes (one large set, one small), and~~ four arms (with ~~one pair~~ being vestigial~~) ending in~~ hands ~~that hold two~~ thumbs and ~~two middle~~ fingers ~~each~~. ~~They rest on digitigrade~~ legs ~~which end~~ in ~~clawed~~ feet, and ~~have antennae of varied lengths at the top~~ of their head. These antenna are used for greater sensory perception of their surroundings, with Vaurcae "smelling" through their antennae. Some Vaurcae are capable of smelling two different types of rock apart owing to their keen olfactory sense.		The Vaurca appear as humanoid insects with a unique biology that sets them apart from the rest of the Orion Spur. The species is also known for its wide variety of Bioforms—unique subtypes of Vaurca with distinct anatomy. The most basic Vaurca bioforms possess four arms, with two of them being vestigial and smaller. Their hands showcase four digits, evenly distributed between thumbs and fingers. Their legs culminate in feet perfectly adapted for scaling the tunnels and caverns of their homeworld.

	~~Vaurcae communicate between each other with ''pheromones''. To them~~, ~~pheromones are like words encased in very fine smells~~. ~~What one could infer from an inflection or tone of~~ a ~~word~~, a ~~Vaurca could from the intricacies of a pheromone~~. ~~Vaurcae can "project" these pheromones over their Hivenet,~~ to ~~communicate over distances long and short with other members~~ of ~~the species~~.		Their heightened sensory perception is channeled through antennae, particularly tuned to an exceptional olfactory sense. Pheromones play a pivotal role in Vaurca communication, acting as a nuanced language, much like words intertwined with delicate scents. This acute olfactory ability enables them to decipher subtle nuances within the intricate tapestry of pheromonal expressions.

	~~Before a larva is hatched~~, ~~its purpose~~ is ~~determined by a Gyne in a process called imagotis. Essentially~~, the ~~Gyne can imagine what they want a specific Vaurca~~ to ~~look like and think like, and subconsciously alter certain factors regarding the larva's development~~ to ~~facilitate their growth into~~ the ~~Ta's image~~.		All Vaurcae are highly dependent on their specialized augmentations, which may be considered vital organs for their survival. These organs are installed shortly after birth. The most important augmentation for Vaurcae is the neural socket, which allows each member of the species to connect to the [[Virtual Reality]] and communicate via Hivenet.

	~~===Life Cycle===~~		As Vaurca become more specialized, differences between bioforms are greater. For example, some subtypes of Vaurca may possess more limbs or have been engineered to withstand harsher conditions. Advanced bioforms may also have more unique augmentations, not readily available for the common members of the Hive.

	~~Vaurcae~~ are ~~egg-laying species, with all Vaurcae being birthed from fertilised eggs laid by a Queen~~. ~~Before a larva is hatched~~, its purpose is determined by a Breeder in a process called ''imagotis''. Through biological manipulation possible only within the egg, the Breeder can imagine what they want a specific Vaurca to look like and think like, and subconsciously alter certain factors regarding the larva's development to facilitate their growth into the Breeder's image.

	Vaurca ~~eggs are laid by a Hives high~~ or lower Queen, and naturally enter a state of suspended animation when they are outside of the ovipositor, locking the egg in its initial stage until it is received by its surrogate Ta. This is compounded with cryogenics to ~~effectively transport a vast amount of eggs between the Queen and their surrogate Ta~~. ~~Every Ta within a Hive specializes in the creation of many different types of Vaurcae. Without cryostasis, the Worker and Warrior castes~~ have ~~a life expectancy of 20 years. Meanwhile, the Breeder and Cephalon castes can live indefinitely. For human scientists~~, ~~the process by which Vaurca Breeders can live forever is~~ not ~~yet fully understood. The scientific consensus is that it consists of multiple factors: constant maintenance, augmentation, a slower metabolism, and some form of biological immortality.~~

	~~After hatching, a Vaurca will spend roughly a year maturing and learning~~ the ~~basic skills~~ of ~~survival within Virtual Reality. Their body is also fitted with~~ the ~~augments that are necessary to Vaurcesian survival; a neural socket, a Hivenet implant, and a vocal processor that allows them to speak a language (dependent on their~~ Hive~~). Most Vaurcae live around twenty years. Vaurca Breeders, however, are biologically immortal and do not die of natural causes~~.

	Type A are the most common Vaurca and can be seen as the 'backbone' of ~~Vaurcesian societies~~. Their most prevalent feature is their hardened exoskeleton, varying in colours in accordance to their Hive. It is approximately half an inch thick among all Type A Vaurcae. This exoskeleton provides protection against harsh radiation, solar and otherwise, and acts as a robust pressure-suit to seal their soft inner core from the outside world. This allows most Type A Vaurcae to have extended, several day-long EVA expeditions, assuming they have phoron. Their hands consist of two middle fingers with small talons at the end, and two opposable thumbs, a left and a right, on either side of their hand. Type A ranges from 5ft to 7ft tall on average, though outliers of both spectra are not unheard of for the more specialized tasks.

	===Naming System===		===Naming System===

	~~The traditional~~ Vaurca ~~naming system is complex, with~~ first names being made of three parts. The first part is ~~either~~ Ka for Workers, Za for ~~soldiers~~, Ra for Bulwarks or Ta for ~~breeders~~. The second syllable ~~is Viax for~~ Bound, or Akaix for Unbound.		Vaurca have first names being made of three parts. The first part is their '''caste'''; '''Ka''' for Workers, '''Za''' for Warriors, '''Ra''' for Bulwarks or '''Ta''' for Gynes. The second syllable indicates whether they are Bound or Unbound; '''Akaix''' for Unbound, '''Viax''' for Bound.

	~~Finally, the~~ last syllable of the name is unique, decided by the player. In Vaurcese, this segment would translate to a ~~number —like~~ a serial code~~, it is a unique identifier~~. ~~The only restriction is that it~~ should ~~not~~ be ~~longer than a single syllable~~, at ~~the very~~ most two syllables~~. For a Worker Unbound it might be: "Ka'Akaix'Siith Zo'ra." With 'Siith' being created by the player. The surname is the Hive that the Vaurca is a part of, in the example's case "Zo'ra"~~.		The last syllable of the name is unique, decided by the player. In Vaurcese, this segment would translate to a unique identifier, like a serial code. They should be short, at most two syllables.

	~~In summary~~, ~~you create a~~ '''~~single unique name~~''', ~~which~~ is ~~slotted after~~ your caste ~~and~~ whether ~~you~~ are Bound or Unbound, and ~~your~~ surname is ~~the~~ Hive ~~you are from~~.		A Worker Unbound Vaurca, for example, may be named "'''Ka'Akaix'Siith Zo'ra'''"; "Siith" is their personal name or identifier. The surname is the Hive that the Vaurca is a part of, in this case "Zo'ra".

			In summary, the name is your Vaurca's caste, whether they are Bound or Unbound, and their personal, unique name. Their surname is their Hive.
