Who are the Arachnids?
The Arachnids (though to be correct, they are pseudo-Arachnids) more closely resemble Terran social insect species (like bees and ants) than Terran arachnids, which tend to be solitary predators. Much speculation has revolved around the varying castes that exist within the species. Communication among the various castes occurs through a combination of chemical scents and psychic directions. The Arachnids are a holometabolous species, meaning that they have a number of different developmental life stages. The arachnids also appear to be a diurnal species, but are capable, especially the Soldier caste, of nocturnal activity. There is no optimal time of day or night, to fight the bugs! Current Terran research divides them amongst: Command caste (Brain, Chariot) Breeder caste (Consort) Soldier caste (Warrior, Royal Warrior, Hopper, Spitter, Bomber) Worker caste (Worker, Plasma). 7.
