Xamoid
A hiveminded species of many different forms existing in the Arcturus galaxy. They eventually ammassed all the biomass of their homeworld and then evolved themselves to gain the ability of space travel. They have accumnulated multipe worlds and exist purely to consume all and move on to the next planet. Obviously, all the sapient species had a major disliking of this. However, sending a military force after them would only feed them more.
However, the Hyperion Federation had a solution in the form of the Superstring - Class Subspatial Starship. These were used to destroy every star system the Xamoid controlled and sucessfully caused them to go extinct in little more than a few moments.
Xamoid queens are too large to be mobile as they masively outgrow their legs. There is also a subfaction of the Xamoid that has existed in the Irarus galaxy. The Irarus Xamoid were highly powerful relative to the few other factions of Irarus, such as thte Iraran Harkas. However, after reaching a certain size, the subfaction became splintered by a personality divergence. They likely would have destroyed a lot of life in Irarus if this event didnt happen, and the divergance has led to a period of outside stagnation and internal conflict. Well after the HF has exterminated the Xamoid in Arcturus, they discovered the Iraran xamoid and defeated them while they were weak. Despite this, they have proven to establish an effective defence, the many personalities unified only by their will to survive. The threat of the HF has somewhat sped up the Iraran Xamoid 'civil war', however they did not truly unify until it was far too late and HF forces had many powerful footholds. Of course, before invading, they studied the Xamoid for any potential clues to solving the Deja - Vu conundrum, which remains unsolved. It is known that the Xamoid hivemind probably does not span intergalactic ranges. Initially, the divergence started by a single split, resulting in 2 personalities, but as the event went on entropy caused them to split many times. In their height, the hivemind had a total of almost 70 000 different personalities, each with their own goals, crippling any ability to issue orders to it's drones.

Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Xamoid hives have multiple queens that drink biomass and continually lay eggs. These hatch into larvae, which can take up many forms from workers to soldiers or even bioships. If needed, they can also metamorphesise into a queen.
EXTINCT
Average Height
soldier - 3 m
worker - 1 m
queen - 10 m
(among other forms in the 1 - 5 m range as well as bioships ranging from 50 - 200 m)
