Golmai
"The Golmai's greatest weapon is their inferiority. While we find ourselves preoccupied with the Drukhari, Orks, and Tyranids, they deceive, gain strength, and consume. Whatever their 'Prime Directive' is, I fear they will achieve it if we do not interfere."

- Notes from Inquisitor Darras Shale of the Ordo Xenos.

The Golmai Collective are a minor xenos race (if the term "race" can be applied to organisms wholly nonorganic in origin) located largely in Segmentum Obscurus. They are artifically intelligent constructs created by the original biological inhabitants of their homeworld, Varhome, who they summarily destroyed in order to establish dominion over the planet.

While different Golmai colonies have been discovered across the fringes of Imperial territory in Segmentum Obscurus, all Golmai settlements appear to have the exact same goals: Collect resources, create more Golmai, and funnel excess materials back to Varhome. As such, a majority of Golmai-controlled planets could be described as forge worlds by imperial standards.

The Golmai center their societies around a mysterious objective known only as "The Prime Directive".

Heirarchy
Upon encountering other races, the Golmai introduce their society as an elegantly constructed representative democracy: the units elect directors, who in turn elect prime directors, who in turn democratically determine the best solutions for the given planet's problems. This, however, is a facade designed to assist in diplomacy.

In reality, Golmai society exists in a sort of "Independent Hive Mind"; Each unit has its own motivations and goals but, as a product of their near-identically-programmed reasoning, come to the exact same conclusions in matters of debate. Therefore, Golmai government is less concerned with politics than it is with delegation.

In fact, units, directors, and prime directors, are not even constructed together. Directors and Units are programmed separately, with the former designed to clearly and elegantly dictate instructions, and the other designed to dutifully and effeciently follow them.

Units
Units are the loyal servant populace of the Golmai Collective, designed to slavishly follow the tasks given to them by Directors and Prime Directors. There are four different categories of Golmai Units, one of which they choose (or are assigned) to shorlty after assembly.
