Rachni Worker
From FABT
- "Have you seen one of these guys work? They're like...spider engineers. That's the closest thing I can think of. Little spiders that can put a small fighter together in minutes, and take apart a person in seconds."

The Worker is a subspecies of the rachni that are small in size, extremely fast and glow a bright green. Similar to aphids, these rachni are about the size of a large tarantula, and usually move in groups of five to ten. In a non-combative role, they are brilliant engineers, able to build ships in days (as was observed during the Rachni Wars and the Reaper War, as well as the Great Precursor War six hundred years later), and are capable of fixing things other organics cannot; they are also excellent at repurposing what others throw away. In a combat role, they can form into swarms capable of overwhelming even the most veteran platoons.
