Sykons

Sykons is a fictional species from the "Starfinder" role-playing game, a science-fantasy setting. They are a sentient, insectoid race originating from the planet Veridian. Sykons are characterized by their chitinous exoskeletons, multiple limbs, and compound eyes. Their society is structured around a hive-mind like collective consciousness, though individuals retain a degree of autonomy. This collective allows for highly efficient communication and coordination, making them formidable strategists and builders. Sykons are known for their meticulous nature and a strong emphasis on order and efficiency in all aspects of their lives. They possess a natural affinity for technology, often excelling in fields such as engineering, cybernetics, and complex data analysis. Their physical forms are typically described as being somewhat imposing, with a build suited for labor and defense. While their collective nature can sometimes make them appear alien or detached to other species, Sykons are not inherently malevolent. Their primary motivations often revolve around the continued prosperity and expansion of their collective, seeking to improve their civilization and understand the universe.
