Living in a culture known as the "Insect Empire"; the Bug civilization is made up of several Bug tribes that reside within large underground colonies. The empire is led by a queen "All-Widow" and a male second-in-command known as the "Prime One". After several years of mistrust and prosecution, the Insect Empire is now represented amongst the New Genesian New Gods through an elected warrior known as the "Forager"; a warrior chosen amongst the bugs who are more humanoid in their appearance and are uncommonly resourceful, exhibit individualistic behavior and are skilled in the arts of war.
