This seems far too fantasy themed for a sci fi universe. I even had something like this in a DnD game I DM'd, where a nation of half-demons were ruled by a king and his regional governor-champions.

Not only that, but there's a lot of science missing here.

If they evolved on an ocean world, they're going to have gills, not lungs. That means they need aquatic adaptations. Fins. Webbed limbs. Et cetera.

Survival in a vacuum? Naturally? How? If it's a mutation, how does it allow them to ignore the need for particles in the air to metabolize energy?

As for the hiveships, that's just... wrong. A starship cannot land, in an ocean, sit at the bottom for God knows how long, then just up and fly away. Not only that, but something can be efficient in space and air, but not space, air and water. It would be just inefficient.

As for mouthfuls, observe the text block above. And on most of the message walls around here.
