When they emerged, the Spiders remained near the Gorge and excavated a vast tunnel network. Once Spilyth took over, there was an aggressive shift towards military might. Strange beings emerged from the depths of the Gorge to dig tunnels deep into the earth. Once their task was complete, they disintegrated into dust. Now the Spiders live in a massive tunnel network with only a few structures remaining above ground.
The closest caves to the surface are approximately 20 meters underground protecting them from bombardment or carpet bombing. Every entrance is carefully hidden and several are decoys that lead straight to a trap of some kind. Any being lucky enough to find a real entrance is in even more trouble. Even more of Queen Spilyth’s ‘pets’ guard these entrances. They ambush anything that is not authorized to enter the tunnels.
Various traps are situated in these tunnels as well. Once the occupied parts of the caves are reached, actual military defenses are waiting for any would be attackers. Turrets, garrisons, and even more traps await unlucky enemies.
If one is fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to reach the main cavern, they will find the center of the Web: Queen Spilyth’s court. Any intruder in this room is instantly sensed and vaporized by traps or more ‘pets’.
Put simply, the Spiders don’t like guests.
Positions Queen: Me Soldiers: Infinite, open I'm sorry if you don't like the positions, but there is no other way to represent Spilyth's incredible paranoia.
Name: Spilyth Gender: Female Position: High Queen of the Spider Tribe Titles: Maker of the Web, The Venom Queen, Mistress of the Outlands, The Heartless One Appearance: She has the typical build of a spider queen. She has eight eyes with two being more prominent. She has two large fangs capable of secreting deadly venom and six legs as well. Her clothing is often elaborate but functional. Normally, she will wear a detailed armor set with a large spider engraved on the breastplate. Under this she wears a comfortable tunic. The armor is colored black with highlights in toxic green. Personality: Spilyth is cold, calculating, and unfathomably cruel. She is incredibly intelligent and is adept at both battlefield and political tactics. She is paranoid of anybody taking her place and as such had anyone in a position of power assassinated or executed when she took over. Weapons: Spilyth carries the traditional staff of a spider queen. It has a bladed end that secretes venom capable of smashing almost anything in seconds. In addition, this staff has been modified to fire blasts of energy. Backstory: Spilyth was not originally spawned as royalty. Rather, she smashed the current queen and stole the title. She rules the Spider tribe with an iron fist and does not tolerate insubordination. After all, the Web can supply more than enough Spider drones to replace the defiant ones.

Grotesque creatures emerge from the depths of the tunnels and begin expanding the caverns. At the same time, several others are sent off on scouting missions.
An ambassador is sent out as well.
OOC:
The scouts are small-ish creatures that can fly. They secrete venom as do all Spider creations and are fairly well camouflaged in most environments.

(OOC: OKay, since i established the Aperture Mesa Research Facility in the Scorpion Caverns, the research center is open to all three outland tribes. Also, can we make a part of the Aperture mesa Research Facility run through your caverns? Also didn't the spiders live in a canyon in the show? )

OOC: The Spiders do not benefit from most of the Research conducted by the other tribes due to the unique nature of their forces. And no, the research facility will not run through these caverns. The Spiders are more than slightly xenophobic.
They lived in a canyon, not a tunnel network. The canyon had an open roof while this cavern is completely underground.

OOC: If they are forced to ally with the Crawlers, then yes. Otherwise, no.

OOC:
The scouts are small-ish creatures that can fly. They secrete venom as do all Spider creations and are fairly well camouflaged in most environments.
The caverns have grown substantially, and the number of active Spider soldiers has doubled. New weapons testing is conducted in the lower reaches of the tunnels, namely explosives.

*As some construction workers (Scorpions ) hear the explosions, they worry a bit, telling some scorpion guards around them to take up defensive arms, as more tunnels for the new planned out "Lambda Sting Complex" were being dug out. the guards wad over to the spider testing caves*

How close are the two HQs? If these workers are working for the Aperture Mesa Research Facility, they aren't anywhere near the Spiders.

The Bats and Scorpions are allies. Are the Spiders also part of that alliance, or are they on their own?
