Sectoid

Sectoids are a psionic species allied with the Ethereal Collective.

Prehistoric Era and Homogenization
The exact origins of the Sectoids are a point of contention within the GHC; some Hive Commanders believe the Sectoids to have evolved naturally from similar-looking underground primates called 'Species-152', while others hold the view that they were altered long ago by another alien species.

Independently of their origins, Sectoid prehistory was incredibly peaceful; they lived in nomadic tribes, being one of the few species never threatened by their homeworld's wildlife due to their telepathic capabilities. Notably, every instance of contact between different tribes resulted in the tribes always merging into a larger tribe, without exception. Over the next few hundred years, the tribes would grow in size, eventually beginning to settle plots of land and building their first permanent settlements. The first Sectoid governments had emerged, divided into castes and led by the orange-skinned Commanders.

Each city developed independently, with new advancements being shared between every citiy or tribe as they made contact with one another, exponentially advancing their mutual knowledge, until the time came when the entirety of Helion-7 was explored, and every tribe and city merged into a single society.
