The Kabeen hive mind was a slave to the Uul'ba-Rai priest caste for centuries, kept in line through threat of pain: what one of its bodies feels, it all feels. It participated in the rebellion that freed the Rai Republic and put it on the course to amalgamation into the Jade Worlds.
The Kabeen is a branch of the Killiks, separated hundreds of millennia ago by unknown means. Its hive mind functions at a high level of integration, to the point that the Kabeen is essentially one individual. The Kabeen cannot create Joiners.
Biology and Appearance[]
The Kabeen were social insects and came in several different types—membrosia givers, queens, warriors, attendants, and the deadly assassin bugs. Though the species as a whole was not Force-sensitive, certain types of Kabeen could be bred to use the Force in simple ways.
A Kabeen Forcer.
All Kabeen started as small larvae. After that, their size could vary, though a hive was usually one size. Their glossy exoskeletons were so strong that they could withstand millennia of erosion. The exoskeleton also contained a number of respiratory spiracles which served as their respiratory system. This system was capable of being poisoned by the use of insecticide grenades which forcibly closed the spiracles resulting in the Kabeen's death. Most Kabeen bodies tended to have four arms which each terminated into a tri-fingered claw and two strong legs that may have allowed them to leap for great distances.
It was noted that the majority of the Kabeen bodies were females with a few males who only left when a new nest needed to be made. Furthermore, a single Kabeen queen was able to lay a thousand eggs in a month with those eggs turning into battle ready nymph within a year; by two years time the survivors were capable of laying their own eggs. This gave them a high reproductive rate, allowing them to create millions of their kind in a short frame of time, as long as there were adequate resources.

Society[]
The Kabeen had a communal society, with each and every Kabeen body being in mental contact with another. Due to their hive mind, every Kabeen nest was virtually one individual. The Kabeen was peaceful in nature.
