The true leaders of Craver society are a caste known as Bishops this small percentage of intellectually advanced Cravers forms the backbone of society and is responsible for decisions on construction, warfare, development, reproduction, and exploration. Though she has an unquestionable right to veto and would be consulted in the case of extreme risk to the hive or a deadlock in the process, her importance is more social than political. Though the Queen is the most important single member of the Craver hierarchy, she is not necessarily its leader or decision-maker as her time is spent in the production of future generations. The cravers are a race of humanoid bio weapons created by the endless with the purpose to destroy planets. Feeding the hive is their all-consuming purpose the notions of 'treaty', 'trade', and 'peace' do not exist. As their home world is close to being consumed, they must leave in search of further nourishment.įor if they do not continue to expand, discover, and exploit new worlds, their society will eat itself to death. Their life cycle is based on consumption, and as such they are capable of digesting any form of plant or animal matter. Created by the Endless from an insectoid life form, the Cravers are in the purest sense hunter-gatherers who would never have independently evolved the systems and infrastructure needed to raise crops or domesticate animals.
