User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Te Union

The Te Union is the congregation of the Lekgolo worms which form the Mgalekgolo or Hunters residing on their homeworld, Te. While many Mgalekgolo fight on both sides during the Doisac War, the majority formed a truce with the Sangheili for safe passage, and then later protection against the Covenant Remnants, back to Te. The Te Union have a standing policy to allow any Mgalekgolo back into their fold, regardless of which side they fought for.

Government
The Te government isn't like other species governments. The Lekgolo live in huge basins on the surface of Te, where all are connected to each other through their microscopic cilia. These huge basins, sometimes kilometres wide, are all interconnected and allow Lekgolo to speak to each other. Any decision that affects the Lekgolo and Te is presented through a singular 'worm', and there upon each worm will make its own decision based on its own experiences. These decisions are taken and formed into a huge consensus which take weeks or months to formulate.

Military Doctrine
Similar to the Covenant Era, Mgalekgolo form the Te Defence Force which protects Te and its interests. Service its voluntary, as a single Lekgolo worm can decide to join if it wishes. The Lekgolo is joined with several others and an already war-experienced worm to form a Mgalekgolo or Hdulekgolo. The experienced worm communicates all of its skills and knowledge to the others; the same method works between two different Mgalekgolo, if one knows information vitally important. The TDF protects fifteen systems including Te but the others have never been colonised and are merely used for industry. The TDF is mainly situated in the Svir System, where they patrol Te and the massive space stations that orbit it.

The TDF separate into two diferent branches; the Mgalekgolo, which are the huge soldiers the Covenant used to deploy and the Hdulekgolo, which are the lekgolo worms controlling the warships. The Hdulekgolo are used to patrol, defend and transport material and Mgalekgolo throughout their territory. The TDF is complemented by the Sangheili Armed Force in the Sanghelios-Te Military Alliance, which comes into effect if the Te Union is in anyway threatened.

Economy
Te's economy depends on the huge market on the huge Yuhl Space Station, but while Lekgolo have no personel need for currency, it is needed to fund the TDF and industries that feed the Lekgolo worms, armour the Mgalekgolo and give the neccessary fuels for the Hdulekgolo. The Yuhl Space Station is the largest orbiting market where over five billion other humanoids reside with nearly all working in the markets. The ships that bring in the supplies are taxed but otherwise the market is left alone from the Lekgolo apart from the often patrols.

Food
While it is widely thought that the Lekgolo worms eat Forerunner relics, they actually feed upon small bacteria which they consume through the 'skin'. The unfortunate business of eating the relics is simply a side-effect from hungry Lekgolo worms. The bacteria is farmed in giant batches on the other worlds and shipped to Te where their poured into vats. These vats allow for the Lekgolo to come and go as they please whenever their hungry.

Culture
The Lekgolo's culture is based on the ability to build a global consensus on any decisions. Using these mass communication they are also able to pass along any knowledge they possess, allowing for many Lekgolo to form their own opinions on whatever. The most known experience in the Lekgolo pools are the war poems from Mgalekgolo that served into the Terran-Covenant War. As the Te Union accept Mgalekgolo outside the Te Union, such as Mgalekgolo that had survived the Covenant Civil War or had served a Remnant faction or for the Sangheili, many experiences are given from these helping to form a global idea for the Lekgolo on what is happening in the rest of the galaxy.
