Cyclarchy of Centria (Battle for Earth: Prime)

The Centri Republic is a race of creatures that operate basically like ants or beehives. Only five of the six classes are exceedingly intelligent. The six classes are the Workers, Soldiers, Sapients, Drones, Queens, and Behemoths (the only non-intelligent class).

Background
The Centrians emerged on the World Corufrey approximately five million years ago. However, organized government has only existed for two million, while the race has only been united for around a million and a half years. FTL travel was discovered around a million years ago. The Centrians have adapted to many different situations, allowing them to use every single system they come across. By using floating cities over Gas Giants and brown Dwarfs, they get the energy they need - from Fusion - and grow food in hydroponics facilities. However, their most populous world remains the Capital, Corufrey, around seven times the size of Earth. Also known as the Crystal World, due to crystal being a Centrian building material, and those they have completely built over the globe. Despite this, few species have been wiped off their world. Many exist in underground facilities or off world. Centrians, despite their appearance of similarity to humanoids, actually have a completely different digestive, reproductive, skeletal, respiratory, and nervous system than humans and, in fact, Eukarya in general, instead belonging to the domain Syarasi.

Characteristics
The Centrian Queens have advanced genetic control to the point of almost unconscious control: for instance, depending on the situation, Behemoths can be able to fly, or soldiers could have massive talons, etc. In addition, they are telepathic, which allows easy communication, but telepathy requires a lot of concentration and is thus not practical for modern day life. They can only read what others broadcast to them, they cannot read minds. Lastly, the Centrians have advanced control over matter, energy and anti-matter. In fact, this is how they formed their unique FTL drive. This is incredibly powerful. In fact, they could destroy entire planets were it not for something known as a Sigma Field (Arthur C. Clarke reference =D) which is a probabilistic hole in space time that will destroy everything in its path until neutralized by an opposite force (for the really large ones, black holes, suns, dark matter clumps, or anti-matter Sigma fields, for the small ones, caused by, say, destroying a small spaceship, the Electromagnetic field used by a toaster should suffice). This allows them to safely destroy large ships, but most times are unable to risk destroying a planet, for fear they would not be able to neutralize the field. A similar event occurred in the Crab nebula, when the field went loose, but it was successfully corralled into the star and thus neutralized. Except Queens and Drones, Centrians are completely sterile. However, survival of the fittest still applies for Queens are more likely to reproduce the gene combinations of a successful Centrian than an unsuccessful one. Centrians live literally to serve their Queen. They appear (except Behemoths) as tall humanoids, with varying skin color but royal blue eyes. They are on average 2.5 metres tall, and Soldiers, Drones, and Workers are winged. Sapienti and Behemoths are never winged, while the Queens are capable of flying in their early years. Behemoths can be as tall as a house but are not humanoid and rather look like gigantic, spiked watchdogs the size of a house. Most normal Centrians (again, Behemoths excluded) have an almost transparent skin (no, you cannot see their innards), because it is exceptionally thin. Despite having no contact with humans, they look somewhat like elves, especially the Sapients, who almost all look like that. Queens, meanwhile, tend to be three metres tall. They are all hatched out of eggs. All are strong, stronger than most other races. Many live on gas giants, with floating cities using the hydrogen below them for fusion to keep them warm, sustain energy and provide light to the hydroponics facilities, which have thousands of the blue Centrian plants in massive vats of nutrients. Centrians used to be divided into 197,605 clans, which were each led by a set of Queens, but under Queen Histrya, the clans were united into the Council of Queens, which is a group of around 500 Queens elected by the Collective Mind. The Collective Mind is when thousands of Centrians join minds. On two separate occasions, entire classes have joined minds (once during the crisis with the Crab Nebula, the Sapients and once during a massive Galactic war, the Soldiers). Never has the entire race joined minds in history, though it is technically possible.

Sigma Fields
Sigma fields are the most powerful of all Centriad weaponry. They range from Class A, which can destroy approximately 200 miles in all directions, to Class F, which can take out entire galaxies. However, the most powerful one ever used was a Class D sigma field (still capable of destruction of multiple systems) in a war against another race. The sigma field was originally intended to desoory just three systems. However, it went out of control and ended up entirely wiping the other race, as well as a Centriad star fleet, in total destroying 17 systems.

Government
Centria is a Cyclarchy. Effectively, it is ruled by a being - a Queen - who is integrated into the Collective Mind and effectively controls it. Depending on the Queen, however, eventually the Queen herself becomes subsumed into the Mind, prompting the election, between the Queens, of a new Cyclarch.

Military
The military of the Cyclarchy is one of the most powerful outside the Five Great Powers.

Queens
The only type of Centrian not designed to serve the Hive, the Queens are the governors of the Hives. Depending on the size of the Hives, between 1 and 25 Queens may rule over it, with one Queen as the senior ruler. Queens are also the only type of Centrians without geneti variations.
