The A'ach'en of Aachen (Ustral Quadrant 3208) are a Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance. They are technologically competent sophonts.
Physiology & Environment (Ecology)[edit]
One of the most interesting aspects of A'ach'en physiology and cognizance is that A'ach'en alone or in small numbers are proto-sentient at best, but when joined in close proximity with roughly eighty to a hundred of their species, they gain sentience and form a group intelligence, often called a hive mind, with intellect equal to most members of Humaniti.
Individual, component A'ach'en are small and insect-like.
Compare and contrast with the Nunclee, another species achieving sapience through conglomeration.
