Plean

The pleans actually hold many subraces under them to do their jobs. The ones that speak with other races are called the High Born. Which are the First batch Born of the year. They have the freedom of choice, even if that choice is to become the new ruler.   Though that being said if this is such the desire of a high born they are quickly removed from the planet as to avoid being killed as per order of the queen. A small escort of workers is given to them, to nurture and care for her until she is fit to rule and expand the new hive if they have the ability to do so. As such many small pockets of Pleans are found though it's hard to pinpoint. As well two different Pseudo hives could be run completely differently from another. Oddly enough Pseudo Queens don't seem to have the capability to reproduce at the same rate as the Great Queens from their home world only producing one child per month.
