The Insectoid Halfbloods had always been the most marginalized race within the Magus Alliance.
For decades, they had bled in service of the Alliance—always at the front of every campaign, always the first sent into the meat grinders of frontier wars, always treated as expendable cannon fodder. Yet despite all those contributions, they were never welcomed into the inner circles of power, never granted a true seat on the council, and were often shunned even by the halfblood communities that should have been their kin. They lived on the outskirts of Sector 13, a quiet hive-people the wider Alliance preferred to forget existed.
Even in this crisis.
The Alliance war machine had moved too quickly, too focused on its own elites, and the wheels had simply rolled past the insectoid colony entirely.
