"We are dawn. We are annihilation. We are many." - Umbruke Collective 

"A grave threat to the security of the nation. We must prepare for the worst." - Mboshroni

"They have achieved perfection in many areas. Technology, conquest, unity. But they are a threat to our kingdom, and to the Commonwealth. And by the Realm Above, we shall reign down punishment on all our enemies." - Shakaran, Toshra

"No profit to be found here, no trade. They are a threat to the Hive. We must act quickly, the Hive must prosper." - Jre

Society and Government
The Umbruke Collective is the term used to define the collective intelligence comprising all members linked together into a hive mind. The core of the Collective is Mosskurn.

The Collective is controlled by an immense catalog of actively runing information and representatives of the empire. The collective form of organization allowed for tremendous efficiency in action and deliberation. With each drone functioning separately according to its instructions, it could at any time be processing information, performing physical actions, or focusing its energy toward other collective goals.

There is also a minor collective intelligence within the Collective. Machines, such as Hunters and Drones, are apart of a separate hive mind commanded by the Collective via subspace transceivers.

Territory and Population
Because of the thousands upon thousands of worlds the Umbruke occupy, their population would reach the double digit trillions. Around ten trillion Umbruke inhabit the core worlds.Using hyperspace technology, the Umbruke developed one way 'expansion nodes' to widen their borders.
