Verpine

[Red]

Verpine were well known for their technical aptitude, exemplified by the starship manufacturer Slayn & Korpil, which built the famous V-19 Torrent starfighter for the Galactic Republic and the B-wing starfighter for the Rebel Alliance. Verpine also possessed keen vision that could pick out microscopic details, the natural ability to sense and transmit radio waves to communicate with other Verpine in Verpine language, and a hardened carapace.

Verpine came in two types -- intelligent, hermaphroditic Verpine and unintelligent worker drones. At the time of their entrance into galactic society, only five percent of Verpine were intelligent, but the demands of technological civilization caused the Verpine to restructure their society. After the change, egg-laying Verpine used a special enzyme to ensure all eggs laid developed into intelligent Verpine. Any drones needed by a Verpine hive were produced via cloning.
