Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Empresses are aged, powerful queens that have bested another or multiple queens in combat and rule multiple queens from a sufficiently massive hive. They are even larger than queens and are considered a separate caste in their own right. While I would like empresses to be expanded upon much more than simply being "queen 2.0," the first step would be to differentiate them from queens not just by title, but by appearance aswell.
Should a Marine see an Empress, they know they are truly in for a fight.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Immersion, fluff, making surviving long enough to become an empress a more enjoyable experience.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): See above for benefits. This would only be a sprite, maybe a few pixels bigger than the queen sprite and maybe incorporate some aged grey exoskeleton.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Glorious, sexy spriting.
