Vortakhx is a desolate planet located in Unknown Space within the Milky Way. Under its thick and stormy atmosphere lays a desolate world, fully infested by a insectoid species known as the Vorxans, whose people have infested the planet to the point nearly all resources are gone with all devoured by the ravaging hierarchical hives. A vast majority of its surface consists of a toxic wasteland hidden by its thick atmosphere, with the ground being composed of a hard carapace protecting the countless hives that lay below, pumping out the toxic gasses from deep under the surface into its toxic atmosphere.
Vorxan Society
Vorxan Society is purely hierarchical, ranging from workers and drones, to queens, to finally the Vorxan Matriarch at the very top of their "society". This hierarchy delves even deeper into forming a proper Hivemind, transforming them into a all-consuming wave moving as one.
History
The early history of Vortakhx and the Vorxans as a whole is relatively unknown, as once the Vorxans emerged and infested the planet all life and traces of what could have been a society were destroyed.
Conquest by the High Priest
The High Priest of the Elder Overseers, after consolidating his rule over Solarya, moved onto Vortakhx as the next world he desired for his Celestial Army. He offered the Vorxans the possibility to expand and infest other worlds as he descended upon their world. To his surprise, the Vorxans did not accept his offer, instead attempting to infest and consume him to further reproduce, forcing him to exterminate billions of them to rid himself of them. He pondered, realising that it was impossible that all of the tens of thousands of queens on the planet could cohesively coordinate to the degree they were, leading to him uncovering the existence of the Vorxan Matriarch as the 'true' ruler of the hives. He briefly returned to Vortakhx and abducted the Matriarch, leaving the planet in chaos until he returned.
He was unable to find a reason of how the Matriarch controlled the Vorxans, leading to him to choose a risky option of consuming her in order to absorb her conscience so he could become the new Matriarch despite the possibility of the Matriarch gaining control of him as well or remaining within his mind. Once this process was completed, he descended back down onto Vortakhx, manipulating his new subjects to his own whims to grant them heightened intelligence that made them capable of much greater feats than before, replacing their mindless swarming with a coordinated yet autonomous wave.
