From the dark void we go from galaxy to galaxy, assimilating, conquering, cleansing, brining order to the chaos, laying waste to those who oppose us.

We are Sillos, also known as The Children of Zarrand, our lord, our master, our creator, our father, and we follow him without question.

Evolved from our cellarer state we became much more then what our father predicted, we became a sentient life form, capable of great intelligences, evolving to become better, adapting to any environment, even to any battle.

Emotions we do have and share but we do not allow the weakness of emotion to control us, the moral of emotions, the side that pampers you humans.

Evolution, Survival Nature, Intelligence is our strongest ally.

Adapting to our needs we learn new ways of survival and evolving, we study other cultures to give us the advantage on their weakness, we study new technologies from what we assimilate and that the thinkers of our kind can think of.

Do not confuse us with the fantasies of your world, even though like the Borg we assimilate but we are not as slow as they are, we rely on more then just assimilation, like the Reapers we integrate technologies into other species and make them our own, but yet we are not set on just one path.

We are so much more.

One voice and one mind we speak through but however are capable of a singular choice, but all answer the higher voice that orders us.

We live as a hive, working all day and all night, we never tire, we never sleep, we continue to serve and do the bidding of our great master and the Hive Mind.

Sillo Prime:

The home world of the Sillo Hive, one that we were born and raised from, one that has became a powerful colony due to our presents.

Defiers has tried to defy us but were meant swiftly by our arms.

Sillo Prime is the heart of the Sillo Hive, filled with hives, organic vines, that glow red, giving the land a fiery glow, pools of pure, hot plasma and other chemicals that we take pleasure in bathing in, can be seen on the dark lands, giving a purple aura, across our red sky lays remains of floating islands and an old castle, all held by the thick red, organic roots.

To you humans this world means death, sorrow and sadness, to us it is a utopia, a place to behold and embrace, one that we take great pleasure in.

We share this world with our Dark Dragon allies, Zarrand's people and warriors, who serve him and us loyally.

The Black Fortress:

Lord Zarrand's chariot of the fleet, the largest of cities and vessels, one of the most powerful and also home to many Sillos and Dark Dragons.

It carries a large amount of Sillo on board and our Queen.

It is were Zarrand's seat of power lies and the Queen gives us our commands.

It also carries Zarrand's Dark Fleet, his Dark Dragon warships, although they are hardly needed as the Sillos provide the transport but however Zarrand has felt the need to keep them and update them, I guess it saves a lot of Sillos getting hurt, although we do not fear pain or death.

The Dark Fleet:

As you know the Dark Fleet is the Dark Dragons ships, they are of different classes and abilities, although similar in shape and design.

These are Zarrand's old fleet before we were created, long before he came across Sillo Prime.

But now he has us.

The Sillo Hive:

As you know we follow one voice and one mind, obeying the higher voice, the Queen.

We have adapted to live and breed in the most simple to the most harshest conditions, even in the dark voids of space, where we feel the coldness of it as we move through out the galaxy, although in some areas hot, depending on the system's star strength.

In battle we adapt to become stronger and better, so we can withstand attack, with or without shields, either way we adapt, making ourselves almost impossible to defeat.

However there has been some species that has given us trouble but will be delt with in time.

We as a hive do work as one but can work on our own if needed to but rather work as many as groups are more stronger, or as you humans would say “two heads are better then one”.

We are efficient in our ways, we live, we breed, we create, we fight, we conquer and we prosper, becoming the most adaptive spices.

We live in hives which are constructed from membranes and materials that we collect or have, they are sometimes consist of tunnels or a network for us to move around, but also made so that our Dark Dragon allies can use our hives as an outpost, again part of our adaptive ways to other species.

Our ranks a made into many.

From the top it is:

The Queen
High Voices
Breeders
Guardians

Our defenders:

Elite
Escort Sillos
Fighter Sillos
Flyer Sillos
Scout Sillos
Crawler

Our workers:

Thinkers
Harvesters
Parasites

Assimilated Species:

Phantom Sillos
Sillo Troopers
Defective Sillos, also known as the Zombies of our group
Crawler Sillo, people have been known to be turned into these
Imploders
Mutants

We also have high advances in bio weaponry and plasma weaponry, but we also integrated other technologies into our species.

We also use different weapons both old and new in our test versatilities to make sure we can adapt to them by making our skin harder and tougher, use to the attacks of these weapons, we also do the same with our armour and shield technology, even our weapons are modified.

However as was stated we do not go by acquiring other species technology alone, we also learn to make our own and study into new ways, new technologies, even some that may even exceed us.

We do breed but mostly the Queen is the one who lays the eggs, along with the Breeders, however when faced with a possibility of survival or the need to gain new Sillos sometimes a Sillo can evolve to become a breeder, or if our Queen was lost evolve to become a new Queen, which is selected by the High Voices.

We feed on near enough anything, from stars to human flesh but most of the hive reacquires large amounts of energy type foods which is formed from plasma pools, stars, even the lavas of planets has this type of energy, even the human nuclear reactors are a treat for the hive to enjoy.

Sillo Space:

A dark void filled with twelve planets and one star, it did had three but to protect our dark star Zarrand placed it inside the Dark Fortress, the white star was destroyed when the hive absorbed it's energy, a mistake on our part as that star was needed to keep some of the worlds plant life or even energies going, but however it was the only way to defeat the Freedom Alliance, our sworn enemy.

But now we rule this space and show no weakness as we have placed the highest of defenders and defences in our arsenal.

Due to the colour of our main star and how powerful the light shines from it the colour of our space is a blue colour, a dark, blue colour, even though space has no colour but it is thanks to this star, our sun that the colour of our space is like this, and the energy it gives us is divine.

In our space you would see hives, membranes that connect to the hives like tunnels, the red glow of our hives and the green or yellow glow from our weapons, unless your our Queen then it is blue.

You would see Sillos in their numbers, moving, swarming around, doing their duties for the hive.

You may consider this as death if you saw it but to us it is our utopia, our home that we desire.

And every so often a solar storm would hit us and we would enjoy the endless amounts of energy it feeds us, even our young enjoy the luxuries of the storms.

As you can see we are not completely robotic or droned, we are more alive then you realise just with a different way of living as you humans would put it.

Each of the twelve planets hosts our hives and culture, Sillos spread far and wide, covering the worlds we had obtained, each world is linked to Sillo Prime and each world is well defended, we do not allow for weakness.

One of our master's rules “no weaknesses” and we follow that rule true.

Final Words:

Adaptive, strong, powerful, intelligent, no room for weakness, the Sillo Hive remains almost the most feared species but also respected.

We may come across as monsters to you humans but we can assure you we are not monsters, we are so much more.

We conquer and assimilate, we destroy and force others into submission, all who dare to oppose us will be destroyed.

And when we arrive we will darken the skies with our kind and take what we will, and you will live to serve us, your resistance is futile as it always has been.
