	Queen Tupii famously opposed the title, claiming she could not fill in the shoes of Mother K’lax. However, she has now fully embraced it, just as she has surrounded herself with regal parafernalia. In [[Colonized Vaurca Worlds#Tret\|Tret]], her royal chambers are considered lavish, matching only the ones reserved to High Queen Zkaii.

In [[Colonized Vaurca Worlds#Tret\|Tret]], her royal chambers are considered lavish, matching only the ones reserved to High Queen Zkaii.

	One of her first decisions as Queen has been to rapidly increase her '''Warrior''' populations, and to accommodate them in various positions the Hegemony has requested Vaurcae for, but that the other Queens have not been able to provide. Traditionally, the numbers of ~~K’laxian~~ Warriors has been limited due to the Zo’ra’s desire to keep them subjugated, however Queen Tupii wishes to overturn this.

Traditionally, the numbers of K’laxan Warriors has been limited due to the Zo’ra’s desire to keep them subjugated, however Queen Tupii wishes to overturn this.

	Due to the state of the brood before her coronation, the Warrior population had greatly declined. In order to boost their numbers and quickly surpass the Warriors of other broods, Tupii developed a new plan. Instead of training new larvae, the bulk of her Warrior force is composed of Hive War veterans, resleeved into new bodies.

	More than two millennia later, the K’lax brood has their own Realm in [[Virtual Reality]] again.

	Hidden deep in the supernovas, her virtual residence is a cosmic palace that requires a long arduous pilgrimage for a regular Vaurca to visit. While Queen’s chambers are not often made public in most of the Realms, Tupii has her doors always open for those that have proven themselves by reaching it and accepting her as their new Queen. Depictions of the place are contradictory, with those claiming to know the residence having unique tellings that do not match each other in anything other than Queen Tupii knighting them as ~~Xol’ta’kl’ox~~ (‘Followers of the True Queen’).

	The calcined body of K’lax was taken aboard the Kloxa’xia, alongside the lost Cephalons. Great efforts were made at first to somehow recover the burnt data from the neural sockets, but all that information was ultimately deemed lost after reconstruction was futile.

	Also referred as ‘The Queen-Elect’, Tupii’maxk’rekxak is an anomalous case in Vaurca History, becoming Queen of the original K’lax brood. Due to the lifespan of the Tas, the idea of Queen succession is still fairly novel, as traditionally a brood (or a Hive as a whole) would perish after the Queen does. While both the Zo’ra and K’lax have now chosen a High Queen from the lesser ones to act as a leader, for a different lesser Ta to step in and command a brood is something that Queenless Breeders would have dreamed about, but otherwise never allowed before. The revitalization of the K’lax ~~Hive~~, however, required drastic measures to be taken, and new protocols enacted to ensure their survival in this modern era.

	The simply named '''Reka'Phalkon''', or "Sedantis Phrontistery," is one of the few remaining places where Great Hive War veterans pass on their knowledge to the next generations, which, aside from typical ~~warrior~~ training, is notable for teaching mostly forgotten combat arts such as spelunking. It was designed long ago by Za'Akaix'Rei K'lax, a decorated Warrior of the Hive War, who remains in charge to this day. Rei believes that whilst these techniques may have fewer applications now than they once did, the principles are applicable across all types of combat. There would seem to be some truth in this, with Vaurca actively working to adapt some of the concepts behind spelunking into the Spur in the form of extensive EVA combat training and unique ship boarding techniques that have seen some success.

 ===Za’Akaix’Omynx K’lax===
 Omynx is one of the most firm believers of the K’lax status as vassals to the Zo’ra, and one of the most belligerent Vaurcae to ever have existed. If Omynx was not protected by the Tas that have had to learn how to deal with their new situation under Tupii’s reign, it is likely its memory would have been voided by now. As an act of respect for the Hive politics, however, Omynx publicly congratulated Tupii and accepted her as the new Queen. While Omynx has opposed Unathi rule, its military experience led some other Xakat’kl’atan of different broods to propose it as the strategist behind her plan to expand the Warrior forces —the Warrior limitation being one of the only few things Omynx would dare to criticize about the Zo’ra. It is unlikely it will be chosen, however, as Tupii has found other Masters in the brood that are willing to support her and her goals.
