Empire of the Ants

The story takes place on Zentha, a distant, Earth-like planet orbiting a red dwarf star. Zentha is home to sprawling forests, towering fungal structures, and vibrant ecosystems. Over the course of millions of years, an indigenous species of ants evolved into highly intelligent creatures. These ants, known as the Zenthians, have built a complex, hierarchical civilization based on their natural instincts of cooperation, discipline, and expansion.
