I wonder when they reach that level, if you have two trade houses merge either under a new name or combined name, and this just makes for longer names, or just abolish one name... it seems like business interests would dictate options. Maybe houses that have an established "brand" name retain it? RCA is owned by another company HQed in Paris France today but it is still RCA, so if RCA was a trade house I think the members would still have the last name RCA but would defer to the bigger company per contract agreements which would be TCE today in RL. Before being sold off in parts RCA was RCA, then it was taken over by GE so it could also have been RCA-GE but then GE sold it off to TCE along with parts of GE. BUt brand wise TCE has retained both GE & RCA names for market reasons... seems like Vrusks would do the same. 

Also Vrusks in the Frontier versus Vrusks in Vrusk space may be different as well. In the Frontier you have businesses even Vrusk that employee non-Vrusk... so I think there is some wiggle room for interesting Vrusk concept exploration and conflicts with other species born out of differences in mentality.

Pan Gal being the big first Mega Corp seems to employee all races, but seems to have preferred colonies of predominately one species for instance (logically it makes sense... SF PC is different than RL PC in my way of thinking).

Future Business Cards... since the Vrusk are based on the Japanese of the 80's a little bit, I like the idea of them exchanging "business cards" I am thinking it would be a Vrusk custom some sort of data transfer device they use specifically for the whole meet/greet ritual.

As for mergers I see vrusk just tacking on the parent company name to theirs.  The would become a division of the company that bought them.  Because their society raises the young in the company as an extension of their hive past I see them absorbing all employees in.  They are not exactly a parallel to Earth insects.  Their reproduction is different.

These names do not have to serve the same function as human family names.  The vrusk may only have one personal name that they "own".  Company names belong to the company and not the employee.  Employees are loyal to the company but not equal to the company to own the name with their own.  It is an honor to be associated with the company name but not a right.  Having articulated this train of thought I would say that vrusk would address each other as K'tik-zu of company Pan Galactic Corporation.  Association with the company, not actually the company.  The human parallel would be like this.  A nobel with the surname Wayne may employ servants in Wayne Mannor and his servants may introduce themselves as John or Jane of Wayne Mannor as long as they are in good standing with their employer. 

Gender & Job so to speak is determined by things the hive does with the eggs/larvae if I remember correctly, how they are grown makes a difference on the type of adult produced. So it is possible that as the needs of the Vrusk society changed less neuters where created until none at all existed. Interesting thought. Ants have workers, warriors, queens, and the fertile males... so maybe as the need became for smarter versus just worker brawn or brawn warriors more fertile females where needed &  thus more fertile males... hum.

Also "Toll Ants" have been observed in CA sort of policing, directing multiple species of Ants (probably not all same colony) moving along routes used by multiple colonies, every now and then one of the Toll Ants stops another Ant and takes the food it had gathered, the Toll Ants tend to be larger species, this is interesting as you have multiple species tolerating each other with one species keeping the peace  and taxing on a multi-colony route versus all these different species & colonies going to war. 

Even War can very from complete genocide to survivors of the loosing colony joining the victorious one. Colonies can be merged using proximity & meshing to allow the ants to adjust. Parasite Queens exist, ants are just very interesting critters.

I am thinking there is a AD&D versions of Vrusks that might make for a type of Vrusk more Hive orientated. Maybe one of the Vrusk colony ships that got lost ended up establishing a colony along old school lines? 

I think the Zuraqqor definitely have potential for expanding on the hive type thinking and unique types of of Zuraqqor being developed and used by the colony... in away this is biological technology, they grow specialized beings to perform specialized jobs while beings like us make technology to preform specialized jobs. Bio-tech would be a very natural leap for insect species it seems to me.

Also how the hives function and not war is a point to consider. Hive minds are scary to humans so I think that is why sci-fi almost always have bug races be that way. Yet it is absolutely fascinating to see what the RL hive type insects do achieve, makes you wonder about humans. There are polygamous hive species I found out poking around, I think Vrusk might be more like that.

Here is a thought for the Vrusk... maybe companies besides dances, and obvious visual symbols to id folks, what if they have a scent (perfume) unique to them. It would be a weird Vrusk thing but very buggy. Non Vrusks might wonder why corporate keeps sending them perfume and the Vrusk might think it rude the other race employees do not always use the "right" scent. The polyvox might translate "You smell strange" as "Who are you" or "Are you employed here" every day between the Vrusks and the non Vrusk employees leading to conflict... lol. 

I think I will start a thread for ideas for the Zuraqqor or find an older thread on them and post some new ideas, some ideas will be better for them and others better for the Klickks & Vrusk I think.

Vrusk art could be very different as well... maybe the other 3 races would develop special viewing devices to "see" what the Vrusk see. 

I like it.
