Chapter One - The Tandish Assembly

Tandi Evolution
In the mists of time the Tandy had started out as a non-intelligence Hive race. But over time certain individuals developed their own intelligence free from the Hive. Soon the individual thinkers became the movers and shakers of the Hive. From that point on the Tandy civilizations grew as the 'Thinkers' took over the upper levels of the society. They set its goals, decided on all projects and major decisions. It was only a matter of time before the Hive, as a whole, developed individuals with a sense of 'self' whill still being part of the overall Hive 'central mind'.

The Tandy (or Tandi if you used the plural form) were a weak arthropoid race with a short lifespan. But they were industrious and were communal. They were use to working long hours and close proximity of others. They also developed a belief that resources must be conserved and recycled. This would channel a lot of their actions and policies.
Prosperous Unification
In the eons since the first Tandy communities took shape in the dense jungles of Nest their civilizations spread and prospered.
As they progressed through the technological ages, there were many religions among their people that contended witrh each other for followers. Gradually, sometimes peacefully and sometimes less so, the true faith found its way to all corners of their world.

And in the end the faithful were united under a single universal church. And forming a Theocratic Oligarchy.
Of course, this came about because of they had become Spiritualists. They saw the universe as a dream they all had to share.
Which also meant they also embraced the unfamiliar. They were, in other words, Xenophiles.

Which also meant they had become Egalitarian. Embracing equality between its members. Even those who were poor thinkers.
They had a tradition of using the diplomatic corps to settle most issues between parties and, therefore, the planetary government encouraged rhetoric and debate.
They had also unlocked catalytic processing with allowed them to use organic materals in the construction of spacebound structures. Such as space stations and space craft.
Now, after the discovery of the hyperlane network, the finest minds of the Tandish Assembly have finished develpment of the first hyper drives. The stars themselves are finally within the Tandi grasp!

Their homeplanet, a tropical world named Nest, was in the system named Daystar. Funny enough they had two stars which were named Daystar A and Daystar B. Their first space station, with the shipyard, was in orbit around Daystar A.
This is their story.

OOC Stuff :
Greetings folks! Welcome to my first Stellaris AAR. Why bugs? As a kid I was into social insects and even had a ant farm.
Also ants are interesting as the nests DO have 'smart' ants who take the initiative. They are the first try to move a rock or move a colony to a new nest. They recruit others and soon the ball is rolling.
It kind of happens with humans too. As new ideas and information is created by inventors or scientists the public will copy and adopt such new ideas.
So I will try to role play as best I can. No max/min stuff. If we die out we die out. And we get a short AAR.
