Seintenas

Seintenas is a fictional species from the "Starfinder" role-playing game, a science-fantasy tabletop game published by Paizo Publishing. They are an insectoid species characterized by their segmented bodies, exoskeletons, and multiple limbs. Seintenas are known for their highly communal nature and their reliance on psionic abilities, which they often use for communication and coordination within their hives.

Physically, Seintenas typically stand between 4 and 6 feet tall. Their exoskeletons can vary in color and texture, often reflecting their environment or social caste. They possess a complex internal structure that allows for efficient processing of nutrients and energy. Their multiple limbs are adapted for various tasks, including locomotion, manipulation of objects, and in some cases, defense.

The culture of the Seintenas revolves around their hive structure, which is led by a matriarchal figure or a council of elders. Individuality is often suppressed in favor of the collective good of the hive. Their psionic abilities are integral to their society, enabling telepathic communication across distances and allowing for intricate group coordination during tasks or combat. This psionic connection also extends to a shared consciousness, where the experiences and knowledge of the hive are accessible to its members.

Seintenas are often depicted as pragmatic and logical beings, prioritizing efficiency and survival of the collective. While not inherently hostile, they can be fiercely protective of their hives and their territory. Their psionic nature makes them formidable opponents, as they can anticipate enemy movements and coordinate their actions with uncanny precision. In the Starfinder universe, Seintenas can be found in various regions, often establishing hidden hives in remote or challenging environments.
