Quoted By:
by stage 4 kott will be considered physically mature and capable of reproducing the normal human way with a partner from almost any branch of organic life as long as she can can analyze genetic information be it via blood extraction of traditional coitus
the gender of the partner doesnt matter as long kott is sufficiently bonded with the person
then depending on the conditions kott will give live birth to an offspring that will be protective of the parents
tho most kott will usually grow to become a part of their host planets indusrial sector and remain content to remain planetside
in absense of partners or due to isolation kott will perform a form of cloning
birthing an egg that will gestate and form a more unsophisticated kott that will mature faster but unable to grow past the larvae phase without active uplifting by a stage 6 kott
either way this lesser kott will act like an ant colony worker whn matured
they will form a sort of colony of kotts that slowly grow a hive around the mother kott
the worker will help collect materials for the mother kott and slowly help in the construction of an industry core
this stage usually end in mother kott ascending to space with her daughter kotts in an ark ship witht he goal of merging with other kott fleets and return to being a part of the originalmother fleet
more often though it ends in them being discovered by scavenger or pirate fleets leading to prolonged conflict that often lead to the formation of satellite states that leech off and scavenge the kott industry core and in rare cases lead to peace talks being brokered and an emergent nation state forming around the industry core
either way kott being a long lived being is considered more of a force of nature than a living being
such is influence of the adaptable and tenacious creature capable of given enough time form the back bone of an interstellar nation states
tldr kotto stronk
