Maraxxian
Maraxxians are a sentient bi-pedal insectoid species. They live incredibly short lifespans, requiring relatively little nutrition, and exhibit little to no free will as they’re subject to a hive intelligence, taking orders from a Maraxxian Queen.
They were discovered pre-space flight in the Territories, and were quickly weaponized once species found a way to mimic Maraxxian Queen frequencies.
If you want a squad cheap and you don’t want to wait, you buy Maraxxian eggs, maybe ten maybe eight! - The slogan for Crazy Khaug’s Mercenary Shop
