Mal'kanor are Insectoids that are dismissed by the hive queen for one reason or another as an egg then disposed of at birth;

“When one of the eggs is rejected by the queen of the hive, they are usually eaten, but those that hatch are branded with an ‘X.’ They’re known as the Mal'kanor (MAL-ka-nor). Abandoned by the hive, they have nowhere else to turn.“ - Eregrun, The Hive (GS-ADV3)
