This is probably the answer to question IV, unless the consensus feels that something needs to be changed:

Tholians answer IV

The Tholian castes are as follows:

Soldiers
Hunters (militaristic, but more scouts/skirmishers)
Laborers (big and strong)
Artisans (intellectuals and makers)
Caretakers (for the young and the sick, as well as working in many service rolls)
Queens/Reproductive

While the Caretaker caste does much of the work of healing, medical research, like other forms of scientific research, is more often a matter for the Artisan caste.

The Queens are fertilized by members of each caste, as directed by the mind of the hive, which is both shaped by the members (and by how many of each caste the hive contains), and determines how many of each are likely needed by the hive in the future.

Thoughts?
