Editing Cephalyx (section)

==Military Forces==
All members of a hive are expected to contribute to the defense of the hive. Some, such as the preservers, are seldom engaged in military activities, but will be utilized if necessary. All cephalyx will avoid exposing themselves to harm if possible, shielding themselves behind drudges, monstrosities and dominated surface dwellers. The higher castes can be quite callous in expanding the lives of their lessers if necessary, but waste is frowned upon. The cephalyx knowledge of anatomy can make even those not oriented toward hive defense formidable opponents, and their mental abilities serve them in much the same way as spells and magic do for other species. Some cephalyx are especially talented in directing multiple monstrosities and function much as [[warcaster]]s do on the battlefield.

When the Cephalyx enter battle, they utilize their drudges and monstrosities as frontline troops augmented by Dominator-enslaved surface dwellers. Dominators are capable of directing their slaves from afar and can utilize them as spies and saboteurs without exposing themselves. drudges are directed by different members of Priority Operations on directions of superiors. The cephalyx prefers ambush to open battle but can defend themselves fiercely and effectively, especially in defense of the hive.
