The Human’s guide to sixam P.T. 1
Sixam is rich with bioluminescent foliage and fauna. The inhabitants, known as Sixamians, are inherently connected to the planet’s biodiverse hive mind.
Exploring nature is encouraged to maintain the bond between Siximians and their living planet.
Sixamians, much like humans, evolved across their planet with different characteristics fitting to their environment.
They refer to their civilizations as colonies, with strict traditions that maintain their peace and productivity.
Their #1 motivation is survival.
Colony 2 Sixamians function solely within the confines of the hivemind. The Birth Queens assign roles to their offspring, and they go on to pursue that purpose.
They don’t believe in individual names; you’ll find them referring to each other by rank and number.
Colony 2 is credited for revolutionizing Pollination as a method to ensure their species' survival on distant planets.
They find safety in the hivemind and believe that their connectivity makes their psionic abilities stronger.
This colony of Sixamians has mastered the arts of psionics. They are focused on maintaining brain power, which can be restored through meditation or absorbing energy from space rocks.
They are known to summon meteors, use mind control, and transmutate matter with their minds. Sims often report having migraines after encountering them.
Colony 3 is credited with inventing climate-changing technology, which they use to terraform other planets they invade. If you have an alien satellite dish, you can see their many thriving colonies on TV.
Compared to Colonies 2 and 3, Colony 4 has a rich culture of individual expression. They can be found in a variety of colors and wear makeup.
They are natural empaths and are more expressive compared to their counterparts. Emotions are the key to their psionic powers.
Colony 4 developed disguise technology, which they use to infiltrate other planets. They can fool locals until they start glowing.
On the other side of the planet, Emperor Xizzle rules over his subjects, preparing armies to invade neighboring planets.
Xizzle and his subjects tend to be short-tempered and ready to attack whenever they are threatened.
He believes the Birth Queens are wasting their time with their Pollination initiatives and should take over Earth by force.
The Birth Queens don’t like the Emperor for his war-mongering ways, and encourage him to leave the planet so they don’t have to deal with him.
Xizzle and his subjects have different characteristics compared to other Sixamians,
as they are shorter, have no ears, and are allergic to water.
The Birth Queens are the ultimate matriarchs of the colonies.
With the shifting climate, a select few Sixamians can reproduce.
With their fertility and mastery of genetic engineering, the Queen can produce colony drones, soldiers, and pollination technicians in great numbers, ensuring her population is stable.
After freshly hatching from their artificial wombs, the Sixlings are raised by nurses and caretakers who protect and educate them throughout their childhood.
From an early age, they know their purpose, whether it be a Colony Drone or a Pollination Technician. Siximians live and breathe for the greater good of their hive. Any sort of divergence from the societal norm is strictly forbidden
They consider individuality as a human concept.
Protecting the front lines of the colonies are Soldiers ready to take down dangerous fauna and potential attackers.
About Pollination Technicians
The PTs are a new variation for the Sixam society. As a last-ditch effort to preserve the Siximian species, the Birth Queens engineered subjects who were biologically compatible with other aliens. These select few would be trained in genetic engineering, ensuring the hybrids would be healthy no matter the planet they lived on.
They are hailed as harbingers of a new era of Sixam. But neighboring planets consider them desperate parasites.
They have a quota to fulfill and are confined to starships for the majority of their lives.
Colony Drones and unranked civilians living on Sixam work various jobs within their communities. Colony Drones serve the Birth Queen with loyalty, even fathering most of the Sixlings ( though they’ll never interact with them). Unranked civilians live on the outskirts of colonies, often functioning in smaller matriarchal hive systems.
Sixamians as a whole maintain their societies with strict matriarchal systems. In a dying world with eras of chaos and peace, they evolved to survive together as a hive mind. Those who stray from the hivemind are considered defectors and often abandoned to endure the unforgiving wilderness of Sixam... or whatever planet they decided to crash land on.
