Nation: The Hive Mind
Planet Name: Hive Mind
Dominant Species: The Hive Mind
Population: 1
Government: Hive Mind: Since it's only one person do i really need a government?
Economy: None
Religion: Hive Mind
History: Originally a experiment from a race that has been suffering heavy casualties to war, was forced to create a "artificial army" to make up for the heavy losses. The idea was to disguise the army to look like plants, have the same growth as plants, and mainly be all around plantish. However they foresaw an easy defeat for the army when fire or thunder was used, so they decided to find ways to counter act this to fool the enemy into using useless weapons against them. So they had it grow at a smaller pace when in contact with oxygen, they began to grow these "plants" in fire to make sure no oxygen was in the area and to try to evaporate all the water in them so electricity was rendered useless. The original prototype had no mind so killed everything it saw, including itself, however when "they" attempted to give these creatures minds the hive mind began construction. Eventually after many years of being used as fodder the Hive Mind began to figure out the only reason there being used is because the "creators" don't have an army of there own. so the Hive Mind over took one of the two bases the "creators" have left. In the "creators" last attempt to stop there creation they self destruct the base were the Hive Mind took over. The blast from the explosion normally would have killed the Hive Mind, however in all the fire no oxygen was left to disturb the growth of the Hive Mind. One year after the incident the Hive Mind attacked the final base, the last thing the saw was several flaming plant vines impaling them simultaneously. After 100 years the planet covered in flame was finally put out, and the planet and the Hive Mind were now one.

Standard Plant Drone Abilities: There are many things we can do because we have no bones and can fuse with mindless organic objects.
Burrowing - A very basic ability that allows any plant drone to move the ground around the plant drone. The plant drone itself doesn't even have to move, it lets the ground around it move away. This is especially effective underground because they can move dirt all around them to make a treadmill effect to propel the plant drone forward at controlled speed. This ability isn't anywhere near strong enough to actually hurt someone with the dirt. But can allow vines to travel faster underground.
Poison Spores - It's name says it all, this ability allows certain plant drones to emit poison spores from it's body. This is done by combining the oxygen around it with several types if acidic juices inside the plant drone. This is most effective while impaling someone. Some types of plant drones focus all the poison into the tips of their vines to strengthen the poison.
Infestation Spores - Also self explanatory, it works generally the same way as poison spores. However the spores act like seeds. Upon touching blood they instantly expand, and travel directly to the brain and each limb. When the spores have made it to the brain it plants a seed in it. The seed takes only seconds to hatch and when it does the target it either died or it's now a mindless servant of the Hive Mind.
H²0 Infection: Although this one is obvious ill explain it. When a plant drone comes in contact with a stream of water. The Hive Mind can choose weather to send spores into the stream to hatch in about two months of command the plant drone to absorb the entire body of water. For an average plant drone three gallons of water can be absorbed in 53 seconds. The main point of absorbing the water is to regain/increase the plant drones strength or even to cause an opposing planet into a drought.
Artificial Growth: There are many ways four are plants to grow, besides the standard growth from the sun, we can grow at an alarming rate when sitting in a lake of stream. However the body of water will quickly dry out while a plant drone is in it. However there are more complicated ways, such as suffocation. The Hive Mind was originally created to use the art of confusion against there enemy. Also they have a thin layer of liquid covering the plant drone to nullify fire. (Were in the future fire proofing is easy) So part one was easy for making the plan grow in fire. Step two was more complicated. They thought of the basics that fire does, the first hing they thought of is. Fire absorbs oxygen. So they decided to alter there strands of DNA for the Hive Mind to grow incredibly faster when there is a lack of oxygen in he air. Also, fertilizers made from the corpses of there enemy are effective. But not nearly as effective as being lit on fire.
Shape shifting - A more complicated ability some plant drones have this useful ability, although it doesn't last for over twenty minutes thats usually more then enough time to escape a bad situation. Th shape shifting process itself is done by first amplifying the phi waves sent to the plant drone from the Hive Mind. When amplified each area of the plant drone can by manually changed into any desired target. Unless the target is bigger then the plant drone.

Current Organic Technology
The "macrocosm thistle ambuscade" commonly called plant pods(roughly translated to universe plant ambush) - pods that swiftly grow on any plant within he Hive Minds grasp or has been created by the Hive Mind The pods launch at high speeds with thorns re-enforced and sharp enough to piece various metals, however must be launched from a planet or ship. Newly created pods often cannot be deployed.All the spikes are on the inside however, because of multiple pockets of acid along the sides and in front of the pod (where the spikes are deployed) to first soften things like metal, dirt, ect. These pods carry on average 10 plant drones that will be launched in the said target when penetrated.
On todays episode we look at the
eupnea harrowing barge - A ship derived if vines upon vines, almost forming an orb filled with plat drones.The offensive capability of the ship are listed, firstly it can emit toxic spores to the ground for eliminating things on the ground, the second weapon is a vine barrage. Although the vines aren't particularly strong, they can launch out very rapidly. And finally if you can call it offensive, the ship full of drones can focus all it's vines onto one spot on a ship to attempt to pierce it, upon impact the eupnea harrowing barge crumbles into nothing, however this gives th drones a chance to make it on he ship it attacked. (Besides macrocosm thistle ambuscade being attached thats all the offense) This wasn't meant to be an air fleet, mainly a transport ship. Since are troops are most effective underground you wont be seeing to many of these flying around.
