The
last Queen, in fact. You are the Queen and Hivemind, the one remaining pregnant female of your species left in the entire universe. A great war against many species brought Our race down, and all that remains of Your home system is a spinning cooling sun-mass that is giving off more radiation than anything else. Even if there WERE any planets left in the area, You would likely die from the exposure.
As it stands, Your ship is nearly out of power and pulsing error messages. You have enough control of the systems and enough fuel to aim towards a planet and crash-land. It won't kill You, presumably. Some of the Last Colony might die, but You are the Queen and We are but extensions of Your will and body.
There are three suitable planets for our life.
The third planet in the system is a polluted and highly industrialized water world, surrounded by satellites and space stations with a single moon, filled with bipedal ape-like creatures. They never got involved in the War proper, but have killed enough of your numbers on their exploration. It is certain to be difficult, but there is the most biomass there and examples to evolve into. The Flowers would thrive upon this planet, most likely.
The fourth is a harsh, iron-rich planet, fourth from the sun, in the process of terraforming and mineral extraction. The environment is harsh as hell, and will take some time getting used to, but most of the planet is free for you to claim and not have to fight pincer and fang for. It will take a long time for the Flowers to grow, but You understand the Flowers will grow wherever you go.
The last option is the largest moon of the sixth planet - a large portion of it appears to be a massive, metallic, automated refinery and production facility. This is understandable, as the moon itself has a surplus of hydrocarbons and other elements that would doubtlessly be useful in the construction of a mechanical army. Likewise, building hydroponic chambers for the Flowers would suffice for nutrition,
You consider this for a moment in zero-G. Clearly, you should go to the planet best suited for your Caste - Spirit (War/Destruction), Body (Change/Adaptation) , or Mind (Manipulation/Invention).

[This is a reboot of
You Are A Kai Queen, a sci-fi suggestion game from about this time last year. You play the Kai, who are basically giant hive-mind space wasp/crabs inspired by the Invid, Tyranids, Buggers, the Zerg, Aliens, etc. Your enemies (for now) are the Humans, or, in other words, us.
The humans aren't exactly helpless. They have lots of weapons, plenty of bombs, a long history of war and genocide, and have expanded enough to have a galactic presence. There are Space Marines and Space Pirates and even Space Cowboys (no, really, cows and horses are considered a delicacy and useful to boot.) It's not going to be easy to subdue them in their home system, but it is certainly plausible. It won't wipe out the Humans, but will certainly be a crushing blow.
The current choice is:Which location and what Caste?]
