Aithek Keir

"The Aithek Keir" name the Draith gave the queen gelrath of the Koreso and Narran Tribe territories on Elnar. It roughly translated as "the creeping king" although the creature was in fact female.

The Legend
She was particularly big even for a queen because of her large army of drones which provided her with a widespread source of food. With the Draith having only some information on gelrath, those who studied the aggressive bugs' life cycle over the centuries compiled their recollections as stories in the form of a prophecy of death and destruction.

The Draith's stories always tell of Aithelk Keir being male, however the creature is now known to be a queen, a female who is only spawned once by the previous queen.

History
Before Aithelk Keir reached her winged form to begin her mating flight, she was attacked by a group of Draith along with Sy and a terrified Vexia who had been stranded on Elnar a week beforehand and had made contact with the natives by accident. But Aithelk's metamorphosis was complete faster than expected and she fled, in her rage began attacking the trade village of Elsath, and by this point Thrash and Nas had fixed the communications aboard the Blitz, alerting the Saru cruiser Luria that blasted Aithelk from low-orbit. With her death as the only female gelrath in the area, there would be no more gelrath colonies for a while in the region.
