Myrmitrix Zyssyk
Myrmitrices, with the singular form being myrmitrix, represented the adolescent females belonging to the Melitto species. In situations where a Melitto hive expanded to a size that hindered effective operation, several myrmitrices would venture out independently, accompanied by their warrior followers. These groups would engage in combat until a victor emerged, who then assumed the role of a new queen, thereby earning the authority to establish a hive of their own. The warrior followers of any myrmitrix who was defeated would subsequently become ronin, which is a designation for hiveless outcasts. On the planet of Tatooine, in the year 3 ABY, there existed a myrmitrix known as Zyssyk.
The term "myrmitrix" drew inspiration from the Ancient Greek word μύρμηξ, which translates to "ant." However, Fry admitted that his initial point of reference was likely the "myrmidon" found within the first edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game rulebook.
