Heterocera are born from carnivorous larvae that must supply itself with fresh meat in order to survive and grow. Armed with venomous pincers and equipped with three pairs of stubby robust legs, they capture, kill, and store their prey in their own personal chambers, where they are preserved for future consumption. Larvae must consume at least 10 years worth of food, after which they will lay dormant for 20 years more to soak up the nutrients. The more the larva has eaten, the larger they become when they reach adulthood. Their genders are determined by their scent trails. Males are determined by a black, putrid-scented liquid trail, while females are determined by a red, vingar-scented gas trail. What units they enter are determined by history, physiology, and general capability. Those in peak physical condition become scouts; those who are able to stay quiet become assassins, those who are able to think critically become scientists; those who have towering stature become walking tanks. | |||

Heterocera is a race of moth-like morphs that seek to form an interconnecting empire for survival as well as drive out those that are contesting on identified territory to claim it as their own.
Overview[edit]
Heterocera are born from carnivorous larvae that must supply itself with fresh meat in order to survive and grow. Armed with venomous pincers and equipped with three pairs of stubby robust legs, they capture, kill, and store their prey in their own personal chambers, where they are preserved for future consumption. Larvae must consume at least 10 years worth of food, after which they will lay dormant for 20 years more to soak up the nutrients. The more the larva has eaten, the larger they become when they reach adulthood. Their genders are determined by their scent trails. Males are determined by a black, putrid-scented liquid trail, while females are determined by a red, vingar-scented gas trail. What units they enter are determined by history, physiology, and general capability. Those in peak physical condition become scouts; those who are able to stay quiet become assassins, those who are able to think critically become scientists; those who have towering stature become walking tanks.
Swarms[edit]
- Swift Traversal: Comparable to the Fallen, insects in this unit have sleek bodies and are the fastest of all the Heterocera forces. Their ability to quickly navigate the battlefield earns them the role of scouts.
- Toxic Fury: Covered in filth and disease much like the Hive, insects of this unit kill their enemies silently with poisonous agents. They are often employed on assassination missions.
- Pinpoint Mark: With intellectually advanced minds similar to the Vex, these insects use technology and precision in combat. They are used in a breaching role during large-scale assaults.
- Abominations: Gifted with might and durability on par with that of the Cabal, these gigantic, ugly terrors use multiple limbs to employ several weapons at once. They are a last-resort heavy infantry force that can turn an entire battle around.
Leaders[edit]
- Skirmisher: The Swift Traversal's military leader always bears this title. They are outfitted with superior armor and weaponry within their faction and have superior speed compared to their lower-ranked brethren.
- Bane: This title is always granted to Toxic Fury's military leader. They use only the deadliest poisons and can spread them around with ease thanks to their special plague-inducing abilities.
- Scalpel: The military leader of Pinpoint Mark wears this title. They are the most intelligent of all the Heterocerans and employ the most advanced technology invented by their crews in battle.
