    海菈丝(HYLAX)
永恒女王(The Forever Queen)
守序善良
交涉,初见,友谊,和平之神
信仰中心:艾巴萨罗姆空间站,卡斯卓韦(Castrovel), Nchak (Liavara),Verces
圣徽:      一枚冠有星辰的shirren脑袋

在虫群成为如今同为一体,毁灭一切的集体思维之前,其成员信仰着某位名为海菈丝的女神。Shirrens们相信海菈丝曾是自己这一族的初诞者——这位曾为凡体的的女王选择飞升成神以永恒地守望自己的后裔。但在虫群出于集体意志而开始排斥独立思维的时候,海菈丝的教诲也被其所抛弃了。永恒女王尊重虫群的选择,决定对其接下来的发展不加干预,并把自己的注意力转向了银河中的其他虫形智能生命身上。然而,她始终希望自己的孩子能重新回到她的怀抱之中。终于,永恒女王的耐心得到了回报——Shirren从虫群意志中分离出来,在再次成为了独立个体后,他们也在这个过程中重新发现了自己古老的庇护神。

海菈丝深谙和平胜于战争,友爱优于敌意的道理。她教诲自己的信徒在与别人相处时要时刻利用好交际手腕,不断地为友谊及和谐而努力,寻求结盟而非征服。但是海菈丝也清楚有时交际难免失败,而和平主义者必须挺身而出以守护清白之众。在寻求和平的道路上蒙受挫折并非有过——尝试乃是和平的道义所在,无论看起来如何困难重重,如何让人厌恶都是如此。

Nchak的卫星——Liavaran其上的智能节肢动物甚至在Gap开始之前就已经崇拜着海菈丝,并深信自己的领袖乃是永恒女王在凡间的化身,它们根据海菈丝的教诲建立起了自己的文明。然而随着Shirren的到来,海菈丝的教诲开始散播到协约世界各处。海菈丝的信徒中数量最为庞大的是Shirren,紧随其后的是弗米蚁族(formians),气虫(haan)以及其他虫形种族。然而各族的使节(Envoy),调停者,谈判家以及维和部队同样都会向海菈丝向上赞美。海菈丝的神职人员经常会乘上星船,并参与到星际探索的任务中去,同时在船员遭遇前所未见的外星物种时担当初接触的外交专员。在来自不同世界种族混居的地方都可能存在海菈丝那蜂巢一样的神殿,而秉承着友爱以及和谐的精神,它的大门永远向所有人敞开。

虽然海菈丝传统上是一名蜂巢生物的神祇,但奇怪的是她颇为钟爱个体意志,并鼓励其信徒既要在社群中寻得力量,但同时也必须认识并接受自己的个人价值。因此海菈丝的信众对于教义及传统会产生分歧也是自然而然的事情。比如Nchak上的永恒女王化身对于其下蜂群一样的信众来说就是至高无上的大主教,然而Shirren们则被鼓励用更个人的方式与这位神祇沟通。
剧透 -  原文:
Before the Swarm became the monolithic hive mind of devastation that it is today, its members followed a goddess named Hylax. Shirrens believe that Hylax was the first of their species—a mortal queen who ascended to godhood to watch over her progeny for eternity. But when the Swarm rejected individuality for the collectivity of the hive, it abandoned Hylax as well. Hylax respected the Swarm’s choice and resolved not to interfere with its development, turning her attention to other sentient insectile species in the galaxy, but she always hoped her children would return to her. Eventually, the Forever Queen’s patience was rewarded when the shirrens broke from the Swarm’s hive mind and became individuals once more, rediscovering their ancient patron in the process.

Hylax knows that peace is a better state than war and that friendship is more rewarding than hostility. She teaches her followers to consistently use diplomacy in their dealings with others, to constantly strive for fellowship and harmony, and to always seek allies rather than conquest. But Hylax also realizes that sometimes diplomacy fails and that the peaceful must sometimes defend the innocent. There’s nothing wrong with failing to achieve peace—the moral imperative is simply to make the attempt, no matter how difficult or distasteful it might seem.

The intelligent arthropods of the Liavaran moon of Nchak have worshiped Hylax since even before the Gap, believing that their leaders are the mortal incarnations of the Forever Queen and striving to build their civilization in accordance with her teachings. Since the shirrens’ arrival, however, her faith has spread throughout the Pact Worlds. Shirrens make up the vast majority of Hylax’s followers, followed closely by formians, haan, and other insectile races, but diplomats, envoys, mediators, negotiators, and peacekeepers of all species venerate Hylax as well. Priests of Hylax often serve on starships engaged in interstellar exploration missions, acting as first contact specialists should their crews encounter new extraterrestrial species. Hylax’s hive-like temples may be found wherever species from different worlds mingle together, and all are welcome inside in the spirit of amity and harmony.

Though Hylax is traditionally a god of hive creatures, she’s paradoxically fond of individualism, and she encourages her followers to seek strength in community but recognize and embrace their individual value. Differences in doctrine and tradition among her followers are only natural, and while the Forever Queen of Nchak acts as supreme pontiff for her hive-based followers, shirrens are encouraged to have a more personal relationship with the divine.

请集体主义又个人主义...其实你就是把虫群弄疯的罪魁祸首对吧?
