Galikes

Galikes is a fictional species from the science fiction universe of Starfinder. They are an insectoid race known for their resilience and adaptability. Galikes are native to the harsh, mineral-rich planet of Verity, which orbits a red dwarf star. Their physiology is adapted to this challenging environment, with a tough exoskeleton and a metabolism that can process a wide range of substances.

The typical Galikes individual possesses multiple limbs, antennae, and compound eyes. Their society is structured around a communal hive mind, though individual Galikes are capable of independent thought and action. This unique blend of collective consciousness and individuality allows them to cooperate efficiently while retaining personal initiative. Galikes are often employed as laborers, mechanics, and explorers due to their durability and methodical nature. They have a reputation for being stoic and determined, rarely showing outward signs of emotion. In Starfinder lore, they are a widespread species found across many sectors of the galaxy, often integrating into multi-species societies as hardworking members. Their culture emphasizes functionality and long-term planning.
