Unidentified Bartokk homeworld

An unnamed planet on the Outer Rim of the galaxy was the homeworld of the Bartokk species; a race of sentient insectoids which function through a hive mind.

Description
A rocky world, the planet was not named by the Bartokk and its location was not plotted on any official star-charts. Lightly irradiated by the nearby star, the planet's natives sometimes were born with slight defects that were considered abhorrent by the hive societies. Any Bartokk deformed by the radiation were exiled from the hive to die in the arid wilderness or travel offworld to find employ as soldiers.
