Karkal

The Karkal were a species of Sapient insects from the planet of Kalkak, they were openly hostile and predatory towards the Kyekna scientests, exploreres, and settlers, who drove them all into extinction during the 180-year-long Kalkak War (Save preserved DNA samples).

The Karkal had a caste system akin to all other ants, consisting of minor and major Workers, Soldiers, and Reproductives.

All Karkal were females, excepting the male reproductives, who died soon after reproducing.

Karkal colony-states were each ruled by a queen, though the Queen with the most children, and by extent, the most influence (The last was Queen Kircile), was considered the high queen of all Karkal colonies.

Minor Worker
Minor Workers are dark orange, they are around 1.2 meters long, and are used for in-colony tasks like egg and larva care, farming, plant collection, and taking care of injured Karkal and the Queen.

Major Worker
Major Workers are dark red, they are around 1.6 meters long, they are used for hunting, mining, hauling loose rock outside the colony, and combat.

Soldier
Soldiers are black, they are around 1.8 meters long, and they are used only for combat purposes.

Reproductive
Reproductives are winged and do no manual labour, though they eventually participate in a nuptial flight, the females later becoming queens, and the males dying.
