bórid

Bórid is a fictional alien species from the science fiction universe of Mass Effect. They are a nomadic, insectoid race characterized by their multifaceted eyes and chitinous exoskeletons. Bórids are known for their highly developed hive-mind mentality, allowing for incredible coordination and efficiency in their actions. This collective consciousness is central to their culture and society, where individual identity is largely subservient to the needs of the collective.

Physically, Bórids possess multiple limbs, allowing them to traverse various terrains with ease. Their coloration can vary, but often features earthy tones that help them blend into their natural environments. They communicate primarily through a combination of pheromonal signals and complex clicking sounds, a method that is difficult for other species to interpret.

The Bórids are not typically encountered as a unified galactic power. Instead, they tend to exist in smaller, self-sufficient fleets, traveling the stars in search of resources. Their interactions with other species are often limited, and they are generally considered a reclusive race. While not overtly hostile, their alien mindset and collective nature can sometimes lead to misunderstandings and conflicts when their paths cross with more individualistic species. Their technology is functional and adapted to their nomadic lifestyle, focusing on resource acquisition and survival.
